I went to the farmers market by Broad Ripple High School all summer long and came to know the fabulous breads and such presented by the Brotgarten. Intrigued we went to eat at the Perk up cafe last Saturday expecting something fabulous. Unfortunately it was just barely palpable food with ok service. My son had the ham and cheese sandwich, which was advertised as superb. It was some white bread grill with cheese nothing outstanding, and the (5) shriveled up grapes did nothing to enhance it. I had the Pretzel stick with Bratwurst and sourcraut on the side. The pretzel stick was good and the Bratwurst okay. Again the (5) shriveled grapes to the side added nothing to the dish. My son had Iced Tea and I myself just chose water, the bill bill game to a little under $21.00, which is not bad if it would have been a good lunch but it was not. On another note, there was no fresh bread or the smell thereof in the Restaurant as alluded to on the website. Dogs were inside the Restaurant, and although I love animals, having to climb over dogs to get your food was not so pleasant. All in all it was a total disappointment. I expected exceptional food and was totally and utterly disappointed.

Ive been coming here for years. The coffee is, hands down, the best brewed coffee you can get anywhere in B.R. and there are quite a few options. Alice and Jeanette make fresh baked bread sold on Tuesdays, Fridays and I think Saturdays, try the Vital bread, it is the best! They also bake lots of yummy treats that I only allow myself to have on special occasions, but, oh my gosh, YUM. They used to do German pastries on Sunday, dont know if they still do but that was a treat. The egg panini sandwiches are delicious. The inside is inviting and well appointed without trying to hard, the patio is nice and spacious and they love their four legged friends. Curiously, the people who hang out here are particularly friendly, myself included :)

This place is incredibly cozy inside, and the coffee is fantastic. The only problem with this place is that I wish it were open later. But its a good sign when the only negative about a place is that you literally cant get enough of it. Non-dairy milk available, so vegans and the lactose-intolerant crowd can get their fancy drinks. And its right off the Monon trail if that caffeine buzz inspires you to get moving. Really lovely overall.

Great quiet place - great food and great coffee. The barista is super friendly. They lost a star from me when I watched a busboy chase off a couple of patrons off the porch ten minutes before their 2pm closing as he was flipping chairs. (Dude! - would it KILL you to wait JUST ten minutes?! LoL). Other than that it seems like a great place to eat!

If you havent been to Perk Up for their Sunday Cakes, you are missing out. All of their cakes, breads, rolls cookies are in house made. Nothing is mass produced and is hand crafted. They also sell their items on the Broad ripple Farmers Market.

The coffee is above average, some roasts they have are better than others. Their food is pretty good. Its a nice, out of the way, quiet place to study or work if you need to.

I really really wanted to love this but it was just okay. The cake we got was a little pricey and dry. Staff was indifferent and slow. Sad because I saw potential.

A nice homey place, its cozy and great for that secluded feeling. Not loud like some of the Big Chain Coffee places. Plus the German baked goods are ausgezeichnet!

Outstanding. The barista, Corbin, went out of his way to make sure my drink was perfect. Its quiet and cozy inside. This place is a hidden gem.

My favorite coffee shop in Indy. I enjoy delicious espresso every time I stop by. I also like having breakfast and German desserts.
