Atmosphere: Perennial is a cozy, cute cafe with lots of plant decor! There are a few tables inside and outdoor patio tables if you want to hang or get some work done. Service: Our barista was kind and had our drink ready quickly. Food: We ordered an iced vanilla latte. The vanilla syrup is homemade (along with their other syrups) and the sweetness really came through. The espresso also tasted decently strong, especially with the drink being iced! Overall: We had a great experience at Perennial and enjoyed our iced latte. In the future, we'd love to try more of their syrup flavors, especially their more unique ones. Though the prices are a bit expensive (understandable given their location), we think that the atmosphere and various menu options warrant giving them a try!

Such a cute coffee shop on Franklin Street! There's a lot of space inside to do work or chat with friends. I got a lavender iced latte, which I thought tasted great. It's also the same price for any size drink! The barista was also very nice and helped me pick out coffee beans.

Came across this adorable spot when exploring Franklin Street. Baristas were sweet and helped me choose what to order. I always like to choose the most popular drink if I can. Perfect place for a coffee date or to even do some studying (I felt so old being around plenty of college students). I ordered the Maple Spice cappuccino and a slice of banana bread. Just the perfect amount of sweetness, for both of them. Definitely a great spot if you need a caffeine boost!

Perennial has a special place in my heart, I went on an amazing first date here. I continuously go back whenever I am in town. Their coffee is great and so is the staff. I even saw one of the staff members reading the same obscure book as me, and we got to have a chat about it which I found really nice. There even was a documentary recommendation for me during that chat. The space itself is amazing, a cool (by cool I'm mean AC) space on the inside that is perfect to sit at and work on your computer or read a book. When the weather is nice there is plenty of out door seating along the side of the building or picnic tables in the back. Being located on Franklin Street, they are a prime spot to stop for a well brewed coffee or a well pulled espresso shot. Perennial is my top pick if you're looking for one of the best coffee shops in Chapel Hill

Perennial has great vibes! I stopped in on a rainy day and ended up staying for a while just to enjoy the atmosphere -- lots of brick, exposed white textures, plants, etc. It is quiet enough to focus on some work or have a conversation. I got an iced americano and it was good, though next time I'd try something else, including a pastry!
