We had a lovely experience at Perkys. The food and drinks were both really good, everything tasted fresh and was full of flavour. The breakfast bagel was especially nice and the iced matcha and hot chocolate were a great addition as well. The portions were generous and it felt like really good value for money.
The nicest Scones anywhere!! Without doubt, scones are utterly delicious and consistent all the time. Served warm , texture , appearance, freshness and ingredients make them simply the best ! Thank you to the Baking staff, Serving staff always courteous, friendly and professional.
Last breakfast for our stay in Sutton and it was absolutely amazing. The staff is delightful and the food was amazing. Order the breakfast burrito, you will not regret it. The sauce on the side is amazing. The avocado toast was wonderful as well.
I had a lovely breakfast and chill morning at the Perky’s coffee house. It felt like home, nice cute plants, little spots and great service as well. Definitely worth the visit!
My new favourite coffee shop. Service is always fast and friendly. Amazing selection of fresh baked cakes. Coffee is amazing and my daughter loves the acai bowl.
Lovely experience here today. No space inside so we sat outside, but the staff were so thoughtful — brought blankets and even a hot water bottle. Service was amazing and the food was 10/10. Will definitely be back!
Grand little spot in Raheny, this—Perky’s never lets you down. Had a fine lunch and a proper good coffee, and the staff were sound altogether, quick with a smile and a bit of chat. The place has a lovely cosy feel inside, and the garden out the back is a real treat.
We had brunch at Perkys recently and it was amazing! We both ordered the breakfast burrito wrap and it was definitely the tastiest brunch food we've had in a very long time! Service was quick & everyone was really friendly!
The food is amazing and the staff could not be kinder! My daughter caught her finger in the door and they went above and beyond bringing ice and even offering to cut up my food while I was holding her! Dog friendly as well - perfect lunch spot.
One of the best places for hot chocolate in Dublin. Their latte and flat white are also really good and definitely worth the money. The desserts are excellent, and the gluten-free cake is probably the best I’ve had.

- If sitting outside in cooler weather, don’t hesitate to ask staff for blankets or a hot water bottle — they happily provide them.
- Consider public transport as parking can be tricky when the café is full.
