All The Perks Espresso Cafe

Pretty much a regular here now. I used to frequent Starbucks ’til I got fed up waiting for my Americano while customers who came after me ordering Frappuccinos and other shmancy drinks got theirs first.
The quality of espresso here is excellent. I usually have at least two or three caffeinated beverages a day [be it from my personal french press at home, Starbucks, or even an energy drink] and can usually fall asleep by 11pm. The days I purchase a single beverage from this café, I have trouble falling asleep ’til after midnight– I even try to finish my drinks before 3pm because I figure that it’ll wear off by bedtime. Not saying that it’s a bad thing, but it just goes to show the quality of the beverage. Starbucks is extremely watered down and on some days I can taste how burnt or old my beverage is. Here at ATP, I never experience that.
The environment is pretty chill, literally. Air Conditioner always seems to be on and the lighting is just right. It’s really quiet, and most of the people [from when I’ve been there] that come are usually work-​oriented and have their headphones on and a book or laptop in front of them. It’s the perfect place to get work done, it kinda sucks though cuz they close a bit early with my schedule. I believe 6pm? Aside from that, I can’t really complain about anything. It’s a great place overall with awesome drinks.

Great coffee. Lots of choices. They have almond milk and soy milk which is great. They also have smoothies and panninis.

Ambiance: Spacious. Typical café, study vibe. Nice A/​C breeze inside. Hot af outside. Outlets near every seat in the café. Clean. Well-​kept bathroom.
Service: VERY FRIENDLY WORKER!!! Wish I got his name, but he was charismatic and helpful when were cluelessly looking around and staring at menu for days.
Food: Caffe latte — I asked him for coffee art and he told me he didn’t know how. When he presented it to me, he did his best by giving me a squiggly lines. Haha~! A+ for making me smile! :)
Conclusion: Nice friendly café! Would definitely recommend everyone to check this place out!

The staff is incredible. Ownership is very much customer-​oriented and they absolutely take care of their customers. I’m a regular here, and there is a reason I keep coming back. It is a great place to get things done, get a great cup of coffee and also get something to eat or snack on. The menu is diverse — you can get lots of different types of drinks, smoothies, croissants, bagels, etc.
If there is one BIG difference between this place and any other Peet’s, Starbucks, or Specialties…
…here it is:
At any other coffee shop. you order and wait for someone to yell out your name (they only know your name because they wrote it on the cup) and you go get your coffee.
At ATP, they bring it to you. They remember who you are, what you ordered, and will bring it to you.
It makes it MUCH quieter and relaxing here, so you can get things done or have a conversation with a friend without a bunch of noise and distractions.
You’ll get quick wi-​fi, quick service, and you’ll quickly be addicted.

Friendly competent staff … Free wifi slower pace all the same offerings as other coffee and tea shops without the stuffiness !! Looking for a quick fix give this place a try !! You might be surprised !! I know I was …

While visiting family in Dublin, I was eager to try the local selection of coffee. I’ve become something of an addict lately… Anyway! The 10% off check-​in and good reviews convinced me to try All the Perks.
I got a straight up cappucino — it was scrumptuous! I added some of their powdered cocoa for extra tastiness. The wifi was plenty fast and seating was comfortable. A nice spot to study/​work with a tasty beverage. I’m eager to try some of the other menu options this week.
The only thing I would have liked is if it had been a little brighter in the café. It’s kind of mood-​lit inside, which makes me a little drowsy while studying. Fortunately, the caffeine picked me up :)
I’d definitely come back again. Not my absolute favorite coffee ever, but still very very tasty and worth a try.
UPDATE: The bathroom was super nice and clean! I feel like a clean bathroom says a lot about a place. Definitely a fan :)

Great little coffe shop in town. Excellent service from the owner. He is very helpful in helping you decide on the beverage of choice. Fun and unique drinks for thoe who like caffeine or those who don’t. They also have green smoothie, which I am big fan of. Lots of space with plentry of outlets and seating. Wifi available. Been here a few times and it has never been too crowded. Great coffee from a smaill business. Highly recommended. You can also use the Unilocal check in deal. A bit pricey like most coffee shops.

I checked in on my Unilocal app to get the 10% off (thanks Unilocalers!) and strolled in a on rainy afternoon. I opted for the Orange-​sicle tea and a madeleine cookie and took a seat among the comfy leather armchairs. The wifi is free (look for the username & password on a sign near the counter). The place is clean and you’ll find plenty of seating and tables both inside and outside. The ambiance is dark floor, dark wood furniture — very much like Starbucks with streaming music setting the tone.
You can tell the locals come here often, as they are greeted by name. If this place was closer to my house, I’d stop by more often too. It’s conveniently close to I-​580 with plenty of free parking. It seems to be dog friendly too — there was a couple with their small dog hanging out inside.

I came here with my friend recently on a weekday afternoon.
They have plenty of seating in here & wifi.
The menu is very extensive and they had HUGE parfaits which looked really good.
They had so many different lattes and drinks to choose from, that it was very difficult to choose. I ended up getting the cinnamon cookie crumble, and my friend got the mocha mint. The cinnamon cookie crumble was delicious, it had the perfect amount of espresso and I loved how sweet it was. The cinnamon taste was very distinguishable. The mocha mint frappé tasted like a blended version of philz mint mojito it was minty and soo refreshing.
10% off with check — in !

Check in before you purchase; they have a Unilocal offer for 10% off!
Just recently found out about this spot last week and was surprised to see the unique drink menu they offer. I must admit I am a recovering coffee-​holic but I couldn’t resist at least trying a Mint Mocha.
Planning on going back to try some chai tea and take advantage of the great study environment.
ICED SPICED CHAI TEA LATTE WAS DELICIOUS, my only regret was getting the smaller size.
Also there are TONS of power outlets!

I stop here in the mornings when I’m on the way from SF back to wonderful Merced… found it on Unilocal one day when I needed coffee to keep me alert for the drive.
I usually get the Perk Up Macchiato. It was suggested to me by the barista and I really liked it! It wasn’t sweet and had a nice light vanilla flavor that complimented the coffee. I’m afraid to try anything else because it’s my favorite drink here haha.
I’ve also tried their yogurt parfait. It wasn’t anything notable but it was a good size with a lot of fresh fruit.
Overall I’ve had great experiences stopping here. The baristas are nice, the check in discount is nice, they make the drinks fast, and the place is open and clean.
I want to try their acai bowl and some of their sandwiches next!

Ah-​ha! I didn’t notice the 10% off Unilocal deal until just now, but will remember it for next time.
Yasir and the staff are helpful and friendly. The decaf is good (I really can’t do caffeine or strong coffee much these days), and their green and herbal teas are excellent.
All the Perks has very good sandwiches for breakfast and lunch. Plenty of comfortable seating, reliable wi-​fi, and outlets all over.

Check in before you purchase; they have a Unilocal offer for 10% off! I didn’t til after I bought some espresso grrrr. Oh well, next time.
A friend wanted a pick me up caffeinated beverage after lunch and so we obliged. I consulted the man behind the counter about whole bean coffee suitable for espresso at home. The bags of beans on the shelf only have the blend and weight marked on it; everything is listed on a plaque atop the pastry case. Obviously the darkest one was best for espresso, but the guy working didn’t really sell me on it so I’m a little worried when I go make some this morning.
However, my friends caramel macchiato number with soy was impressive. Very very good, so my faith is restored that whatever I purchased will be good! I would definitely recommend any coffee connoisseurs check this place out; super delicious and the pastry case looked stocked and yummy as well. Lots of seating.
As a funny note, when I walked in I saw a chalkboard sign for their sandwich that day, Roast Beef. But I wasn’t paying attention and had a good laugh bc I thought it was a roast of coffee. The guy heard me and I wasn’t sure if he was really joking and asked if I was making fun of his sign? So oh well. Damnit I swear it was funny. And here I thought they were being clever :)
Check it out for good espresso. Will report back on how it goes with their darkest roast for my homemade drinks.

This is a nice change from the mega chain coffee shops. Although there are some things that they try to emulate its nice to see a mom and pop coffee shop.
They offer fast and friendly service and the drinks are good too!

Been coming out here to do work and the manager is so friendly! They had some great holiday deals and the ambiance is amazing.
Drinks and pastries are delicious.

Best little café you’ve never heard of. This place is a total local’s secret. Great coffee.
Frozen fruit smoothies– you can add spinach by saying «Make it Green!»
They offer some grub too– in addition to great looking pastries, they have paninis and wraps.
Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Spotlessly clean.
My newest favorite coffee shop.

YUCK… id rather spend the money at starbucks.
i ordered an ice coffee, what they gave me was watered down muddy coffee that tasted GROSS.
don’t waste your $ 4 on coffee here when you can get something better at starbucks

I was pretty impressed, I must say!
I was super excited when they first opened this spot because going to Starbucks when you’re already super late for work is kinda messed up. Now with this café in the same plaza, I can do all my work and then run over during a break! Yayyyy for a caffeinated Leanne!
I’ve been here three times now and I’m really loving their coffee. I’m pretty simple – I want a lot and I want it strong. I usually get the 20 ounce iced Double Perked (coffee with a shot of espresso) – low ice. My coworkers have gotten some of the specialty drinks as well, and they’ve all loved them.
As far as food is concerned, I’ve tried a few things. I’ve had their danish (I forget which flavor, but it was yummy) and my personal favorite – the bacon breakfast sandwich. They happened to run out of the panini bread when I went, so I had it on a croissant instead – super noms!
I will definitely be back!

Finally! When I moved here to Dublin, I was surprised to see an absence of coffee shops in the Tralee Village area. This area is a such excellent location for a coffee shop. Looks like somebody agreed and opened a new coffee shop.
Thrilled, I persuaded my wife to try it out with me. A note to coffee snobs/​purists (hey it’s not a bad thing, I am particular myself) — their coffee is not on the level like Verve’s or Blue Bottle. The Starbucks crowd looking for something different will be pleased here although the café mocha I had reminds me more of Coffee Bean & Tea Leaves. The mocha I had wasn’t too sweet or syrupy like Starbucks but it had sweetness added instead of relying on coffee beans’ inherent natural sweetness. To me All the Perks drinks are more of dessert and that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
I ordered acai berry bowl — I used to eat those all the time in San Diego and I recently whined about how difficult it is to find those in NorCal. Naturally when I spotted this on their menu I ordered it right away. It was passable, could use a bit more honey and perhaps a bit more variety in fruits such as bananas and kiwi. It was served in an iced coffee plastic cup — I recommend serving it in an actual bowl.
Wife got a breakfast burrito which was served at a perfect temperature. Since she didn’t finish it, I had some and it’s something I would consider getting next time. Yes I’m planning on coming back!
DEAF: We had to ask barista for paper and pen instead of them having it ready for Deaf customers. Normally I’d dock a star for this but they’re new and I was very pleased to see both of their TVs have closed captioning on so I was able to watch news.
Final Thoughts: It’s in my experience when a place opens, there’s usually a period of tweaking as owners and employees figure out the rhythm of the business and what works and doesn’t work. Food quality usually is okay at the first and generally should improve within few months. Based on what I’ve seen today, All the Perks is off to an excellent start! I see a great deal of potential in this place and am already looking forward to seeing this coffee place mature as a business.

All the Perks offers crepes and sammies as well as coffee/​expresso. Perks has a long elongated seating area alongside the window storefront.
brew: «fusion» coffee (2.05)
