I get the chance to visit downtown Pekara a few times a week because it’s conveniently located near where I work. What I love most about Pekara is how friendly the staff is. Every time I have visited, Luis has gone above and beyond to make sure I enjoyed my experience. As far as their food - you cant go wrong. They cover all bases: whether you want lunch or a sweet tooth killer they have it! I love buying their fresh baked breads and bakery items to share with others. If you’re near, give this place a go!

i like it here always quality food & service. quick, helpful, and friendly service. reminds me of a place in new york i liked to visit.
My father placed a custom cake order for my mother’s 70th birthday celebration. He spent half an hour in person sitting down with the employee - Amanda - to make sure every detail was exactly right. The day before he was supposed to pick up the cake, they informed him that they had no record of his order, and their attempt to remedy the situation was to offer him a “leftover” Valentine’s Day cake to the tune of 40. They then said the manager would give him a call first thing in the morning. Surprise... no one called. He is not one to make a fuss, so he simply gave up trying to get them to make the situation right. So, I’m taking it upon myself to make sure people understand just how little this company cares about their customers. I am appalled that they tried to make him PAY for a LEFTOVER cake as a way to fix their enormous mistake that significantly impacted my mother’s celebration. Shame on you.
Mediocre lattes. I didn't try the baked goods, but everything looked wonderful.
Good macaroons. They serve Intelligentsia coffee which is awesome. Cozy and seems like a good spot for studying/doing work. Friendly and accommodating customer service.
I've loved everything I've ordered from here. Personable staff, great coffee and baked goods, and inviting atmosphere. I really enjoy their new location, as well!
I love going to Pekara for a bright, happy place to grab breakfast and sit and work for a while. The quiches are my favorite, but the cinnamon roll is amazing (i think there's a hint of almond extract in it... Yum). I'm a tea drinker so I can't comment on the coffee, but I'm a big fan of the tea and can usually get a second cup out of it if I ask for more hot water.
