Great coffee is both art and science, and it’s a combination you’ll find at Perq, where caffeine technicians engineer ultra-palatable pour-overs, lattes and cold brews, with a rotating selection of ethically sourced beans procured and prepared in a range of styles. But it’s not just technical wankery. Perq is a fun, comfortable hangout that works for friendly get-togethers, business meetings and manuscript revisions, and we’ve even seen a punk rock show or two there. Favorite drinks include the Gibraltar and the Kalita.
