Northern Perks Coffee Shop

Pretty poor experience here. Stopped in to get coffees and the person taking orders was rude from start to finish. Additionally, the coffees were mediocre at best. Both lattes we ordered just tasted like steamed milk and the cider tasted like watered down juice. As another reviewer said, supporting small businesses is something I like to do, but when the service and quality are both this poor, the money’s better spent at McDonalds.

Such a cute store! If you are looking for something to put in the cabin this is the place to go. Also if you are looking for some Lakewood gear they have you covered! The coffee is good however it takes a bit to make. The staff is always so nice!!

My latte was okay (beans tasted kind of stale, though selection of sugar-free syrups was very good). Walkways and displays were super-cramped--little to no space without 'stuff' felt overwhelming and very cluttered even for a gift shop. The chocolate cherry candy bar was old and we tossed 90% of it plus the second unopened bar. The biscotti was okay but really a soft scone. When I approached the clerk, I started saying what I wanted to drink and she interrupted me, pointed to the menu, and suggested I start with that. (?) I looked at it for maybe 10 seconds and then began to repeat exactly what I had started to say a moment earlier. I quickly looked around the counter for sugar-free syrup options, didn't see them, asked what was available--and again was met with finger-pointing and 'they're here' but with no friendly words. I said something about there being so much to look at (i.e., clutter) and sorry I didn't find it myself. Supporting small business is important to me: my parents owned a small (and very successful) business, and I learned early how terrific customer service can make up for things like occasionally lesser quality or higher price. As this wasn't the case here, we unfortunately will not return.
