Tucked into the heart of Massapequa, The Perk and Press offers a refreshing blend of cozy coffeehouse ambiance and a well-crafted brunch menu that goes beyond the basics. Whether you're grabbing a quick espresso or lingering over avocado toast and lattes, this charming café is a local favorite for a reason.

The menu focuses on quality ingredients, creative twists, and comfort done right. For breakfast lovers, the Avocado Smash Toast is a must-try — thick-cut sourdough topped with smashed avocado, chili flakes, microgreens, and a perfectly cooked poached egg. Craving something sweeter? The Stuffed French Toast hits all the right notes with cinnamon brioche, fresh berries, and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Another standout is the Perk Breakfast Sandwich, stacked high with cage-free eggs, thick-cut bacon, cheddar cheese, and house-made aioli on a toasted brioche bun — satisfying, filling, and made to perfection. Health-conscious diners will appreciate the Grain Bowl, which balances quinoa, roasted veggies, and a lemon-tahini dressing for a clean, flavorful bite.

Of course, the coffee lives up to the name. Their Honey Lavender Latte is a crowd favorite — smooth, floral, and not too sweet — while the Iced Cold Brew is bold and refreshing, perfect for a warm morning or midday pick-me-up. Non-coffee drinkers can opt for matcha, golden turmeric lattes, or fresh-pressed juices.

The ambiance is warm and inviting, with soft lighting, rustic wood accents, and a welcoming counter-service setup. There’s a mix of seating perfect for catching up with friends, working remotely, or just enjoying a quiet moment with a good cup of coffee. Outdoor tables are available in nice weather, making it a great spot for people-watching in the neighborhood.

Whether you're stopping in for your morning caffeine fix or planning a weekend brunch with friends, The Perk and Press delivers a relaxed experience with thoughtfully made food and drinks.
