Great manager named Ruthie with some inattentive employees. Ruthie cannot do it all. When the cat is away the mice will play. Kaylie and Maria are great. The guys they have still think they are in high school. Gotta grow up guys and concentrate on the job. Right know this coffeehouse is the motel six of the coffeehouses. These guys would never cut it at Starbucks.

I had a great salted caramel latte and a delicious blueberry muffin. A hidden gem of a coffee shop in the high desert.

I came here a couple years ago, I remember it being delicious but today I had some extra time and came in and the service was awesome. The girl at the front was very patient with me because I had no idea what I wanted. The real star of the show however was my breakfast sandwich!!! Ham, fresh tomato, egg, and cheese on sourdough

One of my two favorite coffee shops here in the high desert. The staff is friendly, sweet and observe the highest standard of customer service. The cozy seating arrangement makes you want to stay for hours! I got when my kid has dance class the next building over. It is my little retreat for the hour. Go! You wont regret it.

Who in the High Desert has not had a Seattle Freeze? If you havent and you like coffee, chocolate and ice cream, you will need to go and experience the famous Seattle Freeze! One sip and youre hooked! Plus, this place has great coffee and wonderful other healthy food options that you cant get anywhere else AND the servers are extremely pleasant! There is also a cozy little patio with a little fountain which is especially enjoyable on Summer evenings. Even if you are a diehard Starbucks fan, give this place a try. You wont be disappointed!

A great little coffee shop with a great courtyard outside (though sometimes people smoke out there). The tea is okay and the paninis are delightful. The staff is always super friendly. A great local cafe!

Always a treat! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They offer a large selection of drinks and have a stocked pastry case. The shop itself is festive and always moving art and helping out local businesses big or small.They have a monthly special menu. Pictured is one of their flavored hot cocoa!

When Indiana Jones was trying to pick which cup was the holy grail he picked the wrong cup. He obviously didn’t see the perks coffeehouse cup behind and a little to the right. The coffee, being brewed on the to of mount Vesuvius, you can almost taste the sweet nectar of the gods. With the espresso being made with tremendous quality, it’s as if Zeus struck with a lighting to give you that extra boost to start your day. The customer service is unlike any other. You are always greeted with a smile and this is my favorite way to start the adventures of a new day.

I used to love this place but it seems its gone a bit downhill. I could barely tell that there was any coffee in my drink, The taste wasnt all there, and the staff seemed overwhelmed, yet had slow service.

After seeing all the positive reviews I was excited to give this place a try but I was so disappointed. The staff was rude and my coffee was watered down and it tasted horrible. The pastries I got where excellent just wish the coffee wasn’t so bad.

Ive gone here a few times now after being introduced to the Seattle Freeze! Its like a cinnamon roll coffee shake and its so good! Definitely worth a shot. Just be careful as their large cup is a bit flimsy.

Pastries and coffee, with a tv for viewing pleasure, or, if reading and relaxing is more your speed, theres adequate room and seating to do so, indoor and out. They also have a jumbo checkers set on one of their tables! The employees were kind and cool.

I was meeting a friend for coffee and I decided on this place since neither one of us had been. I checked the reviews and it seemed nice, so figured why not. I am so glad we chose One of Lifes Perks Coffee House. The employees were Awesome and the coffee is Delicious. The employees attitudes, desire to get your drink Right, and customer service was above and beyond. The overall feel and comfort you get here is Amazing. My friend and I sat here an hour just talking and drinking our hot coffee/tea, we actually lost track of time. They also have an outdoor seating area as well, which is cute and relaxing. I definitely will be coming back and bringing more friends.****What are your hours? I showed up at 8pm & its closed with employees outside goofing around.

Lovely little place, great coffee, pastries and bagels. My daughters like it and ask to go all of the time. Cheaper prices than Starbucks, plus its a small business so theres automatically a good feel.

Review №60

Very accommodating and friendly shop. Their capachino is a 12 Oz which in spite of their efforts made my coffee too milky for my tastes but this was solved by giving me a 3 and then a 4 shot cap until it was just right. Could be a new thing for me... but a lot of caffeine! Breakfast sandwich was delicious. Very friendly, even wanted to meet the dogs who were invited to hang out on the outside patio.

Review №61

Whenever my friends and I walk over to grab a drink or something to eat between dance classes the employees are always there with a smile on there face. Its really awesome because they take the time to learn your name and your drink, and whenever we go they always ask us how our day is going and how dance is going.

This is my second time coming to One of Lifes Perks and I am enjoying it. The coffee is really wonderful and the staff is so friendly. My husband and I came to this little treasure for the first time for our 11th year anniversary a few days ago and I was instantly hooked. They are about community and host community events. You have to try it out for yourself to know what I am talking about.

Review №69

Ok so my daughter turned me on to this drive up coffee shop knowing Im an anti- Starbucks kinda guy after many in the dark years as an avid buckers fan. I was impressed both by the employees and the coffee, and the selection. Located on the south end of town in the parking lot of Cal Ranch, its easy to miss but search will be worth it when you shop their coffee. They use real beams too that dont contain chemicals and additives like the big corps do. The price is good and the taste great, dont miss this place.

Amazing coffee and teas made by an awesome staff! This is the only place you can get a Seattle Freeze. If youre lactose intolerant they have dairy substitutes. Their Perks Panini is crave worthy. They really go the extra mile for customers! I love this place!

Review №74

A++ for friendly and chill atmosphere. Also fresh baked goods! ❤ Coffee snobs, this is not your spot, but for the rest of us it was great, and alternatives to dairy creamers are plentiful. We were passing through, and will be back for sure on future road trips!

I hve bkeen a customer of this establishment since b4 the gentlman owner sold his business, when he was located on Hesperia Rd. in Victorville abt 20yrs ago.Whn i visited this coffee shop today,the staff was rude and unprofessional.I will no longer patronize this establishment and this location requires a new store manager because the one that is there currently is lack-luster at best.I will spend my hard earned cash elsewhere for coffee.

Review №95

The barista working there when I went didnt know what a tea latte was. She put espresso in it along with the tea. I could tell she was annoyed when I told her it wasnt right, as she said that if I dont want espresso in it, then I dont want a latte. Ive never had a problem ordering a tea latte at any other coffee shop before (not just Starbucks but other small, local coffee shops, too). I know tea lattes arent a new thing, as Ive been getting them at coffee shops all over California for 5 years.
