with a coffee shop ambiance, diner-esque menu, and expansive outdoor patio, the Perch Café makes for a convenient sit-and-eat brunch spot or a relaxing, music-filled venue in the evening. the ikea showroom simplicity is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also creates a studio apartment-like efficiency, where with space considered, would be difficult to replicate. the front-half of the long, narrow spread is partitioned for the sit-down crowd, whether it be enjoying a meal or sipping a latte while web-browsing. the rear, separated by a jut-out diner bar, is an incredibly versatile, activity-laden lounge equipped with movable couches and warm lighting. although seemingly contrasting, the front-to-back disparity is bridged well with the practical coffee/beer bar and consistent flow of warm, soothing browns/reds spanning the café. the large, well-fenced rear patio helps to alleviate crowding in the rear lounge area and accommodates the smoking and non-music going patrons.
on this night however, live music was the purpose of the visit and beer was the drink of choice. draft selection was decent and music soothing. a friendly, hip young woman served us well and the down-to-earth crowd made it all in all..a fine place to perch…
pros – anytime place to go, live music
cons – small and slightly expensive
