Purple Perk is a great little local coffee joint always buzzing with energy. The coffee served is always fresh and strong. Of course, they've got a good selection of teas for tea-lovers as well.
I like the variety of seating that's available at Purple Perk. They've got elevated seating that's conducive to people watching and confers a bit of privacy. The low table seating is accessible for those not able to walk-up to the other seats.
The Perk has a good selection of savoury and sweet foods you can enjoy, excellent if you plan to hunker down for a while in the store or if you're simple just peckish. The free wifi that is available in the store will keep you productive! I really also appreciate the fact that the staff don't seem to mind if you stay awhile! I always feel comfortable in the store and have never felt like I've overstayed my welcome :)
I wish they had more Purple Perks in the city.
