Reviews of Perk Up (Coffee Shop)

Chelsi Joiner

While Perk Up may not be located near you, it is worth the drive! My boyfriend and I have been lucky enough to meet Tino, this amazing and kind young man, which has never steered us wrong when recommending drinks and food to us! I am grateful that we found this place and were able to meet such divine humans on this path in life.

Yasemin Fritchman

My favorite coffee shop in Indy. I enjoy delicious espresso every time I stop by. I also like having breakfast and German desserts.

I planned on going, but didn't really feel like it. Cafe food is pretty nasty anyways.

I assumed my life was as spectacular as it could be, but when I first came upon this small and charming yet elegant establishment, I realized how much I was missing. I have fallen in love with the genuine care and cozy atmosphere of the restaurant. I will definitely be dining at Dunkin doughnuts again.

Great food, great people, great location and charming!

I've been coming here for years. The coffee is, hands down, the best brewed coffee you can get anywhere in B.R. and there are quite a few options. Alice and Jeanette make fresh baked bread sold on Tuesdays, Fridays and I think Saturdays, try the Vital bread, it is the best! They also bake lots of yummy treats that I only allow myself to have on special occasions, but, oh my gosh, YUM. They used to do German pastries on Sunday, don't know if they still do but that was a treat. The egg panini sandwiches are delicious. The inside is inviting and well appointed without trying to hard, the patio is nice and spacious and they love their four legged friends. Curiously, the people who hang out here are particularly friendly, myself included :)

Great location. Morning business meeting, followed by a walk on the Monon. Try the cheesecake!

Cozy coffee house in broad ripple, a lovely place, please visit.

I wanted to love it, but.....from the moment I walked in, the staff seemed annoyed and unhelpful. I asked what’s good, and without a smile, she pointed to the board. The more I tried to engage her, the more curt her answers. When asked about the drip coffee, she pointed to the thermoses with coffee. When asked about flavors, she pointed to the syrups on the back wall. No attempt to even try and be friendly. Why would I return? The quiche was good, but overpriced. The latte was nothing special. With so many wonderful coffeehouses, why would I return? Perhaps to hear them bark out coffee drinks as they make them? Or to watch dogs enter and sniff the food? Thanks, but I’ll pass. I so wanted to love this place. So disappointing.

Great coffee. Love their chai mix and great atmosphere for chatting with a friend or finding some quiet time to yourself.

Steven Bartlett

If you haven't been to Perk Up for their Sunday Cakes, you are missing out. All of their cakes, breads, rolls cookies are in house made. Nothing is mass produced and is hand crafted. They also sell their items on the Broad ripple Farmers Market.

Joel Fritchman

Great espresso with nice outdoor seating.

Michael Burk

The coffee is above average, some roasts they have are better than others. Their food is pretty good. It's a nice, out of the way, quiet place to study or work if you need to.

I went to the farmers market by Broad Ripple High School all summer long and came to know the fabulous breads and such presented by the Brotgarten. Intrigued we went to eat at the Perk up cafe last Saturday expecting something fabulous. Unfortunately it was just barely palpable food with ok service. My son had the ham and cheese sandwich, which was advertised as superb. It was some white bread grill with cheese nothing outstanding, and the (5) shriveled up grapes did nothing to enhance it. I had the Pretzel stick with Bratwurst and sourcraut on the side. The pretzel stick was good and the Bratwurst okay. Again the (5) shriveled grapes to the side added nothing to the dish. My son had Iced Tea and I myself just chose water, the bill bill game to a little under $21.00, which is not bad if it would have been a good lunch but it was not. On another note, there was no fresh bread or the smell thereof in the Restaurant as alluded to on the website. Dogs were inside the Restaurant, and although I love animals, having to climb over dogs to get your food was not so pleasant. All in all it was a total disappointment. I expected exceptional food and was totally and utterly disappointed.

I really really wanted to love this but it was just okay. The cake we got was a little pricey and dry. Staff was indifferent and slow. Sad because I saw potential.

Stephanie Fenton

Love coming in here! They're always willing to go above and beyond for their customers:)

Brian Benko

Thanks to the Broad Ripple Hotel I was introduced to Perk Up. They are one of the few places that makes Matcha Green tea with a Matcha Whisk. They have great bagels and their coffee is also delicious. Great staff and a lovely owner. Thank you for my morning Matcha Green Tea when I am away from home!

Kevin Schultz

Always a Great experience

William Guntz

I was having a really rough day until I met yana. He brought a smile to my face and was the shining sun to my cloudy day. Life is a journey not a destination.

Emmalee Abel

I've been twice. I want to love it. The staff is always acting bothered if you have questions. Not friendly or welcoming. The shop itself is adorable. Overpriced maybe and very very little selection, but great ambiance.

Perk Up is one of a kind. Very good food and coffee, with a homey atmosphere, and you can bring your dog! Great place to spend a Saturday morning with friends. Total laid back Broad Ripple vibe.

Chris Tyler

So cute and delicious plus they have baggies of kid friendly snacks to keep everyone happy

Anita Woods

Friendly staff, great chai drinks

Audra McClelland

Great spot tucked away.

Lynne Alexander

Cozy, quaint, and yummy!

Christina Marcolini

Cozy and friendly

Katherine Mayerovitch

This place is incredibly cozy inside, and the coffee is fantastic. The only problem with this place is that I wish it were open later. But it's a good sign when the only negative about a place is that you literally can't get enough of it. Non-dairy milk available, so vegans and the lactose-intolerant crowd can get their fancy drinks. And it's right off the Monon trail if that caffeine buzz inspires you to get moving. Really lovely overall.

T McMartin

Quaint coffee shop.

Krescendo

Outstanding. The barista, Corbin, went out of his way to make sure my drink was perfect. It's quiet and cozy inside. This place is a hidden gem.

Lisa Hale

This charming cafe is such a wonderful find in Broad Ripple. Friendly, knowledgable staff, great coffee, and the french toast is to die for.
