The Purple Perk sits somewhere around the average mark for me. Nothing really screams out at me saying this is the place to be or is outstanding in any way.
I've ducked in here a few times for supper, a cake and a Sunday morning coffee on different occasions.
Food was good yet nothing that stood out from other menus I've seen. Cake was ok but had that overly sweet, overly processed flavour to it. And my Sunday morning coffee... Lets just say you don't stuff up someone's first coffee of the day. Anything pre caffeine on a Sunday I have little tolerance for. Taking my order for a coffee, then promptly forgetting about my order and deciding to count tips for a bit, then walk off and have a chat with other staff and then make two other coffees for customers who came in AFTER me all while I was still standing at the takeaway counter waiting.
Not impressed to say the least. If the staff were a bit more switched on surely they would take notice of someone quite obviously waiting for a drink.
Will happily explore the Mission area for better coffee places, that's for sure!
