Perk Place Coffeehouse
1336 W Arrowhead Rd, Duluth, MN
Crema's Take
“This cozy Duluth coffeehouse is a hidden gem known for its expertly crafted espresso drinks and showstopping egg bake that regulars are genuinely puzzled by (the fluffiness is real). Beyond strong coffee, Perk Place wins hearts with its warm, relaxed atmosphere perfect for both quick caffeine runs and lingering conversations, plus thoughtfully made pastries and breakfast items that cater to various dietary needs.”

The EGG BAKE is so fluffy and silky!!! How do they do it? Do they whip the egg whites? Is it the bread? I have to know!! Also- they have great coffees and their bakery items have allergy /vegan friendly treats for everyone ♥️
We stopped in for coffees and lunch, we shared the tomato soup and grilled cheese combo. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxing. The food and staff were great.
I was really disappointed with my order. I came in expecting a fresh fruit smoothie, but what I got was more like a milkshake with fruit, and it didn’t taste good at all. It wasn’t what I thought I was paying for, and I hate wasting food, but even after offering it to friends, nobody could drink it. On top of that, the sandwich was dry and had a freezer-burnt taste. Overall, the experience was frustrating, and I won’t be coming back. Honestly, you’d be better off grabbing something from Starbucks or even McDonald’s
I like coming here for coffee and they do know how to make espresso drinks very well. I like supporting a local business too. But this is probably the third time that I was very disappointed with the food, so I just won’t eat here anymore. The $10 tuna sandwich was sad and pathetic. Hardly any tuna, no lettuce or tomato, and tasted like cheap supermarket bread. Looked like something from a gas station.
This is a hidden gem in the Kenwood Shopping Center! Perk Place has a very unassuming appearance from the outside, but once you open the door you're greeted with a waft of baked goods, the aroma of coffee and people enjoying each other's company. There is a fireplace in the front, but sadly it was not operating eventhough it was -4° outside. The interior has muted lighting and colors and a good amount of tables to enjoy the fare. This is definitely a gathering spot for people, they stay awhile. We ordered a Lighthouse Latte which was the BEST coffee I've ever had, and I've had coffee in Europe. The Ham, cheese and bacon panini was over-priced in my opinion for what you get, but it was very good. We also had the grilled cheese and tomato soup, which was a small serving for the price. The soup however was fantastic! Lots of herbs and cream and it tasted homemade. The grilled cheese was just ok. The cookies and cream Frappuccino was excellent. Service was fast and courteous and there was plenty of room between the tables for my wheelchair. This is the kind of place you want to come back to and try everything on the menu. We can't wait to go back and try some of the baked goods.
