Perkup Espresso
3700 E Palmer-Wasilla Hwy, Eagle River, AK
Crema's Take
“Perkup Espresso is an Eagle River spot where skilled baristas take genuine pride in pulling excellent shots and remembering regulars' orders, making each visit feel like coming home to people who actually care. Their espresso-forward menu shines with traditional drinks executed well, and while service can be inconsistent (the occasional mix-up happens), the best experiences here feel warm and personal rather than transactional. It's the kind of place where coffee lovers appreciate meeting fellow coffee lovers, whether you're grabbing something quick at the drive-thru or settling in to be recognized by name.”

Staff was rude when they made a drink off their own winter menu, incorrectly.
Good coffee and friendly service. Thankfully it was also quick. We own a coffee business and appreciate fellow coffee businesses that provide good service.
Husband ordered a Butterscotch mocha and was handed an English Toffee. Not an issue, they agreed to remake it. A couple of whispers to each other and sly downcast looks, he was handed an English Toffe with added Butterscotch syrup. 1pm, fathers day. Sad. We just called it good and left. That's lazy, just lazy.
Absolutely love this place! The coffee is top-notch, but what really sets it apart are the baristas. They’re not only incredibly skilled at what they do, but also super friendly and welcoming—always remembering my order and making my day brighter. Whether I’m grabbing a quick cup or snack, the vibe here is always warm and inviting. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates great coffee and even better service!
The crew at the Seward Meridian location are THE BEST! coffee is consistently excellent, the way I ask, and they have taken the time to remember me and my preferred drink, often having it ready as I roll up. I will go out of my way to come to this location, the service is too notch!
