Lovely Cafe, good food and service and atmosphere. Very chill quaint Cafe. Large portions. Variety of menu choices. Place your order at the register then receive a table stand with number and your order is brought to your table. Indoor and outdoor seating.

It's located in a building so you worry about being in the mix of hurried service, being crowded, long lines to pay and a long wait to eat, right? Absolutely wrong! The variety of seating settings was like walking through a bookstore, library, and a mansion reading room. Music level was blended into the atmosphere. Street level showcase seating for sunlight outdoor feel but seated indoor. Food orders can be done online or at counter but both methods are fast with quality taste, delivery, and efficiency. The menu and customization of foods are a fantastic experience. Whether you need a meal, drink or break, this oasis is worth the indulgence.

I absolutely love Perk on Main! It’s one of my favorite spots to eat, and I recently visited for a lunch date with a friend. The atmosphere was perfect for a long conversation, and the location is surrounded by so many charming little shops, making it a great spot to explore after your meal. The building is easily wheelchair accessible, with ramps inside, which is a huge plus. Parking can be a bit tricky since it’s located on Main Street, but there’s a paid parking lot in the back, which makes it convenient when street parking is full. As for the food, I’ve never had anything that wasn’t delicious. They offer a variety of fresh juices, and their vegetarian and vegan options are fantastic. The service is always friendly, and the staff goes above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a cozy spot with amazing food and a wonderful atmosphere!

⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐Best spot to work and grab a great drink in Middletown I'm on my second year in Middletown and have visited most restaurants in town—Perk on Main is hands down my favorite spot to work and get a great drink or meal. Located right in the Main Street Market, it's super convenient and has the perfect vibe for getting things done or just relaxing. A lot of restaurants around here are inconsistent but not Perk on Main. Best Chai and Matcha in town, no question. The food is consistently great, and the staff always makes you feel welcome. Whether you need a productive workspace or just a quality coffee, this is the spot. Highly recommend!

Delicious, satisfying lunch and brunch food in Middletown. You order at the counter but they serve you at a table. Excellent bagels, crepes, and egg dishes. You'll definitely find something filling and satisfying at this very casual place.

Great food and atmosphere! I wouldn’t get the chicken v dry and not good. The crepes are wonderful, I’ve tried the banana foster one and the lemon berry one (I like the banana foster better). I tried the mediterranean burger and it was very flavorful-it came with chips as well. Overall great breakfast place.

Looking for a good sandwich shop for lunch as we passed through town from RI to NY, we were pleasantly surprised with the menu selection. The savory crepe was a great choice. The service was friendly and quick.

SEC croissant, iced mocha coffee. Couldn't have asked to make it any better. Although we got it to go, the place is very nice, and the vibe inside is comfortable and relaxing. Very nice spot to visit in Middletown.
