I am always glad to review places like this! What a wonderful little coffee spot. They make a wonderful espresso for a great price, offer lots of additional snacks, and the couple who own it, as well as the staff are all so sweet and friendly. I cannot say enough about the Perfect Cup. If you want great Espresso always served with a smile and some good humor mixed in from owner Terry then do not hesitate to stop and give this little delight a try. Perfect Cup is the perfect Espresso place in my opinion!

My wife's favorite drink is the toasty latte. Everyone is always so nice and engaging. They know her order when she pulls up.

I needed a new, local place to go to after the big name places started getting greedy and this place fits the bill! They're reasonably priced and the food is delicious! I'll be making this place my new stop on my morning commute!

One of the few coffee shops where every drink tastes good. When I want a hot coffee, I come here because they perfectly brew the espresso without bitterness. The white mocha kicker is also amazing and different style with chocolate covered espresso beans blended into the drink.

Great service, way more sugar free options than any chain coffee place & if your really need a pick-me-up they have a 32oz that'll get you rocking! Had a blended Carmel &sugar free Carmel latte....definitely going back to try more!

Just had the loveliest experience driving through here. I met the owner and her daughter, both of whom were very welcoming and excited when I said I'd never been before. They offered my kiddo a lollipop and absolutely made his day. I was recommended their signature drink and it's lovely. Showed up for caffeine and left with a big smile on my face. Thanks!
