Stopped in on a Saturday morning around 10.The staff was very friendly.Ordered a burrito and a banana muffin along with two black coffees.Coffee was very good and so was the food.Chatted with the nice person at the counter toward the front. They have interesting things to buy as well as fresh flowers.
Fun sandwich and coffee shop stop for lunch. Wandered in after checking out the antique store next door, and very glad we did. The soups were tasty, my muffaletta sandwich hit the spot, and the coffee was good enough that I went back for seconds. Add to that friendly staff and an enjoyable atmosphere with fun shopping up front and it was a great addition to our day.
To the grumpy folks who complain about waiting 15 minutes on their fresh, made to order food: perhaps you should just go through a fast food drive thru. I appreciate my food being made AFTER I order it. We are always met with a smile and if we have to wait, are thanked for our patience. The fact that they have waves of crazy business speaks for itself.
Cute little building, easy to get lost thinking of how many people have walked through and conducted their lives there in the past. The food was really great, only wish is I was around longer to try more of the menu. The flatbread breakfast was excellent, light and was ready very quickly. If you're passing through on I-71, it's worth the trip a few miles into downtown Ashland to grab a great breakfast or lunch from Downtown Perk!
We love it there. We go as often as we can. The coffee, the food, the whole vibe and the staff. They are so accommodating.
I had to be in Ashland at 8:30 for a brief appointment and thought it would be nice to find a place for breakfast. Unfortunately there was not much of a choice beyond the standard fast food places. But I checked out Trip Advisor and found Downtown Perk, which was a great little spot in the old downtown area. You can enter through an antique shop on Main Street or you can enter directly through a quaint little alleyway in the rear. You order your coffee (many flavors and formulations) at the counter and place your food order. Your food then is brought to your table. I think this eatery is more commonly frequented by the lunch crowd for which there is an extensive menu of sandwiches, soups, salads. The breakfast offerings were more limited but there were quite enough to choose from. My choice was the "Good Morning Flatbread" with egg, bacon and cheese made "savory" with peppers, red onions, and hot sauce on the side. Delicious and ample! I loved the Ashland memorabilia decorating the surrounding walls and shelves. Most seemed to date from the early and mid 20th century and was artfully and displayed. A few pictures are posted here.
Excellent friendly service. Love their soup and specialty sandwiches. Plenty of seating with table service when not takeout. I have been going there since they opened, two or three times a week
Love the little shop... the restaurant... and the coffe .. very cute little place!!! Very friendly people!!
I had the pumpkin toasted marshmallow latte. It was wonderful! Cute shop.
Cute place and has a boutique upfront before cafe. Offers coffee flights and basic but delish breakfast/lunch items. Minimal seating and quick service
