    My daughter took me for a late night coffee in this gorgeous wee cafe...I loved being able to have a leisurely evening in a coffee shop, rather than a bar. There were cocktails available as well as coffes, and they were playing some great tunes! Sadly, I did not get to try a donut, but my daughter says they are brilliant! I liked the atmosphere of the place, very chilled, great service. Would definitely recommend.

    Great place. Amazing doughnuts! Loved the blueberry one. Dog friendly, even offered a bowl of water. Small place but seating inside and out.

    A lovely place with good vibes and tasty coffee. The interior is very pleasant and welcoming, the staff are friendly and the coffee was good, albeit not excellent. We ordered a latte and they seem to use lower fat content milk hence the coffee flavor is stronger and more watery than you’d expect in a latte. It was still good however so five ⭐️!

    All I can say is my donut was delicious! My boyfriend had soup and that too was really good. My latte was nice and strong. They had milk alternatives which made me happy! A fairly small place but a nice atmosphere. Glad we found this place. The workers were so kind and service was great.

    I ordered a tray of doughnuts for a friend who recently moved to Inverness. Nicole went above and beyond to make sure my friend got them, even delivered them herself! Fantastic service and thoroughly recommended (taste great, too, apparently!).

    Amazing selection of aromatic and flavourful tea, rich aromatic coffee. The donuts are divine. Vegan options available.

    This place exceeded my expectations! Not only are the drinks and food absolutely delicious, but the atmosphere is a fun mix of chaos and gentle vibe. We also were impressed by both the evening and morning teams. The employees work in a tiny space but through herculean effort and coordination, they push through the demands of customers to a degree that would make an American Starbucks team sweat. Would visit again in a heartbeat next time I am in Scotland.

    So, as a baseline, their donuts are incredible: flavourful, well done, and beautiful. Their hot drinks are also done with great flavours and latte art. But the thing that makes this location standout is the amazing and caring staff! The staff seem to truly care about you, going above and beyond to make your experience meaningful. They also have an amazing music selection. An absolute must-visit in Inverness.

    Excellent place, small, cozy, with good combinations of Donuts and delicious food, very friendly service. Recommended. (Although you have to arrive early if you want to get a seat.)

    Fab little oasis after walking miles into Inverness! Vegan doughnut was a magical creation. Possibly worth an 8 hour drive to get another...😋

    I wandered into Perk during my stay in Inverness and it quickly became my favorite local spot. The perfect spot for coffee and donuts in the morning and delicious cocktails in the evening. The staff were all friendly and welcoming, especially Fraser. I will be coming back next time I’m in the area and would recommend it to anyone!

    Lovely cosy cafe and by far the nicest doughnut I have ever tasted. Light and fluffy could not recommend enough. Staff so welcoming and friendly :)

    Lovely coffee, excellent doughnuts and toasties! The perfect place for our last day in Inverness.

  • 5/5 Emily G. 7 months ago on Google
    Such lovely cocktails! Clearly a busy place as their donuts had run out come evening time. We visited here 2 days ago for an after dinner drink and had a lovely relaxed time. The bartender was so friendly and passionate about his job. He could told us all about their homemade Lemoncella and the locally sourced vodka as well as highlights about the city of Inverness itself. Thank you!

    Amazingly delicious doughnuts! Just what we needed after 45 km on the bike. We ordered a London Fog cocktail to go with it. Very creative list of cocktails and very friendly folks running this not to miss spot in Inverness!
