Perk Social

Cute spot we stumbled upon while looking for quiet, spacious spaces to study. It can be a bit hard to find, but it's in the middle of business centers with a parking garage. The cafe validates your parking up to 3 hours. The spot is super cute, lively, bright, yet not too busy or loud. They offer many types of aesthetic coffee, and have a cold brew on tap. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor patio seating with shaded umbrellas and outlets. Didn't actually try their drinks but Id recommend the atmosphere to get some work done!

Good ambianceCoffee is a bit expensive but it's fun once in a whileGood place to study bc it's not usually crowded and it's calm enough to get work doneI like the outside patios in the afternoonsPark in structure they validate parking for 3 hrs only

They don't accept cash payments YET they have a tip jar? Lol make it make sense ... it's 2024 not 2060. CASH is still a thing you know. Also, the employees are distracted with their friends that just go there and hang out.

Met a friend at Perk Social for coffee. It's a beautiful place with ample indoor and outdoor seating. The service was great, very friendly. The coffee was also delicious. We had a coconut latte and a taro + coconut latte; you can't go wrong with either one.Of note, this place can be a little bit tricky to find as it is tucked away and there's a far more visible place called Park Social really close by.

Your first impression when you walk in this coffee shop is...it's cute. I don't typically use that word much but that is seriously the vibes this little spot gives off. And that's not a bad thing. It's cute in a chic and hip kind of way. They have decent indoor seating but they also have a lovely little patio with ample seating, which is a must when living in San Diego.The coffee shop is located in an assuming spot of an office building, sandwiched between a huge parking garage and the Vive Luxe luxury apartments. So it's actually really easy to miss unless you know it's there. But it's an awesome little spot for your coffee and tea needs. They have you standard coffee drinks but I would recommend you try their specialty lattes, which are named after the apartment complexes it is surrounded by - Ariva, Vive on the Park and Vive Luxe. My personal favorite is the Luxe Latte which is an brown butter infused mocha drink. Get it hot or iced - you can't go wrong. The prices are great also! Plus they have both freshly baked pastries/goods and chilled sandwiches/salads for lunch. Wished they were open on weekends but I guess it makes sense for them to close on weekends when the office building they are in is also closed.

This is a place to hang out. They have games, abundant alcohol, ample seating, large food menu and good wifi to work. Other cafes and restaurants are built to get people in and out quickly. Perk Social is a good third space.

Overall, it's a really pretty coffee shop. Pros: -large space for seating and meeting people inside and out -outlets (but it only one inside that I saw the rest are outside in their patio area) -azteca d oro was super delish -Lots of food and drink options outside of coffee -parking validation for 2 hours max -friendly service -prices are reasonable -location is pretty and quiet -wifi available -short simple coffee menu Cons:-Parking area was kind of confusing to find with gps-parking validation was also kind of confusing -with how large the space is I expected way more outlets but most are outside and in the summer being out their just got hot since their isn't much shade by the outlets -espresso had a burnt taste in cortado -I saw some people get actual mugs when I was given paper cup and for me I just appreciate my coffee in real mug or glass but hey that's me -wifi was spotty for me outside -layout of the coffee shop can feel overwhelming and confusing With how short the parking validation was it just didn't feel worth it. The layout of the coffee shop and lack of plugs was really a downer too so won't be coming back to do homework. Overall, decent experience.

TL;DR(+) Coffee is really good(+) Good wifi(+) Has outlets(+) Lots of seating(+) Offers parking validation(-) Matcha is not the bestI saw this place on Instagram and knew that I had to give it a try!Their menu is a little confusing because the names of the coffees are unique but you have no clue what the drink consists of. They have a couple drinks like lattes, cappuccinos, and a matcha and a bunch of syrup options. I got a lavender matcha and my friend had a toasted almond latte.The matcha comes unsweetened and the lavender was so subtle that I couldn't really taste it. Overall, it kind of just tasted like milk :/ my friend's latte was pretty good! It had a nutty flavor and I could tell they use high quality coffee beans. The ambiance is unmatched! The interior is stunning and it has a very open concept. There is a good amount of seating and because this place is still pretty new, there weren't many people there. You park in the parking structure next to it and they do free validation! The wifi works really well and there are even outlets on the patio! Overall, I really liked it and will be coming back :)

Place was so cute inside. Very modern chic, open, clean setting. The employee who helped me was friendly and made some small talk while I waited. Delicious nitro cold brew! Prices seemed very fair to me. I just wish they were open on the weekends too. Might need to try some of their snacks next time.

Stopped by here on a Wednesday afternoon to grab a pick me up after seeing many TikToks about it. I ordered the Luxe Latte, which is brown butter and mocha, and liked it! The coffee is rich and deep, not watered down, and you definitely get the taste of smooth chocolate and butter. The menu is pretty simple -- they have lattes, teas, and pastries on display. Also packed lunches and drinks like Ollipop. Inside is very cute and clean! Lots of rose gold and colorful speckled design. Feels very fun and vibrant, I didn't spot too many outlets, but I'd definitely study here since it's quiet and clean. They also have a spacious outside seating area, with colorful pillows and tables with the same speckled design. Perfect for cool summer days in San Diego. I would visit again! Would recommend!
