ORGANIC COFFEE × LOCAL FOOD
SOCIALLY AND ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS
our story
In 2002, We opened in a 800 sq ft. spot off the beaten track with pretty humble goals of providing a great cup of coffee and delicious crepes in a setting that everyone felt at home. From that first store front in Durham, CT to our spacious location where Perk on Main is now in the heart of Middletown, our values have followed us: Local, organic food and socially and environmentally conscious decision making.
Since day one, we have sought to not only bring people together but positively impact both our local and global community every day. Perk offers a wide selection of artisanal coffee and crepes, while keeping its carbon footprint at a minimum. As we continue to grow, so does our mission; thank you for supporting us.
Our Mission
It is our goal to help bring forth an environmentally sustainable and socially just human presence on earth.
In this pursuit, we:
Buy fairly traded, organic and/or local products whenever possible.
Purchase 100% Wind Energy for its long term sustainability.
Generate the same amount of garbage as an average single family home by using compostable and recyclable materials wherever possible.
Believe that food waste does not belong in a landfill - ours is turned into mulch.
Provide filtered water to decrease the need for bottled water.
Encourage you to use a travel mug for your daily cup of coffee; try it and save a quarter each time.
Donate our coffee grounds to local gardens and farms.
It is our pleasure to support our citizens, local communities and local causes in any way we can. Thank you for supporting us.
