Walnut Street Perk

My new favorite coffee place. The service is fast, friendly, and a lot more personal than some other coffee stands. Also a lot cheeper and tastier than where I went before.

Had to edit because I’ve accidentally reviewed the wrong location! Hopefully this one is much better than the 3^rd Ave stand, will definitely give them the benefit of the doubt :)

Of the many Coffee Booths/​drive thru’s I’ve discovered in living here over the last 6 months these guys (and gal) are great. Always very friendly and make sure they get it right. I will on ocassion back-​track from my destination to get coffee here, even though I pass 2 other Coffee detours on my way to work.

I have been coming to walnut street perk for over 10 years and they have always treated me great.
Over the years, they have had a lot of turnover in staff, as you would expect in this line of business, but there are some that have been around a long time and the new staff seem to be well educated and inserviced.
The owner is a great guy that always has a smile and thanks me for being a long-​time customer. That recognition goes a long way for me!

Firstly, they use Thomas Hammer coffee, which is a major bonus for me, since they’re my absolute favorite. I tried this place for the first time recently, and though I wouldn’t consider my choice of drink to be the most difficult to make, it certainly isn’t the simplest either. I order the same thing everywhere I go, and this is by far the best version of my drink I’ve had!
The lady who works isn’t the most talkative or friendliest person I’ve encountered, but she’s pleasant enough, and she knows how to make my coffee delicious, and that’s what I really care about!

Ok, I was just wowed today. At first I got annoyed, but then left impressed.
There are two drive thru windows. One guy was bouncing around managing both sides. Well, the people in front of me changed their minds just as the barista was going to hand them their drinks.
Sigh.
When I got to the window he profusely apologized for the wait. I got to try a free sample of caramel frappé because the wafflers in front of me changed their mind.
I am a crème de menthe mocha guy normally, but this was just really good so ordered a brand new one. Then he gave me a huge discount for having waited behind the dorks.
While I was there the person at the other window had ordered kids’ cocoas. The barista clipped the straws to make them more kid friendly. Wow, such attention to detail is just rocking to me.
Will definitely be back!
