Perk & Cork

Nice little coffee shop. The interior is really cute. They have coffees, wines, and beer. They also have a food menu. Plenty of seating and some off street parking.

Dropped in here for some coffee one morning and loved the customer service and the art work. The latte was awesome too!

Great location for sitting on the front porch and drinking a cup of coffee. Brought the baby and it seemed very nursing– and stroller-​friendly. The staff was super sweet. My sandwich was pretty good too! They were even shooting an HGTV show while we were there so that was exciting.

Nashville is a tough crowd nowadays, with all of their perfectly-​designed, next-​big-​thing bars and restaurants popping up all over the city. I have to say, we’ve become a little snobby over the years. It’s not our fault — there are just so many aesthetically-​pleasing places to eat and drink at now that it’s what we’ve come to expect.
That said, Perk and Cork rolled into my neighborhood into the old blue house next to Mitchell’s. It’s quaint. It’s simple. It’s comfortable. It reminds me of the coffee houses we all used to hang out at, with rugged wood floors and quirky art on the walls.
I ordered an egg and cheese panini and a regular coffee. It was all delicious. The coffee was fresh and flavorful, but not overpowering. The panini was perfectly seasoned.
I saw the long line in Mitchell’s and smiled — I’m happy Mitchell’s does so well, I love Mitchell’s. But y’all should try Perk and Cork! It feels like your old friend you haven’t seen in a while.

Great place! Coffee is good and their pastries are amazing. It’s a treat to me and my wife’s day. We haven’t had wine yet or the food, but based on the pastries i expect their quality it’s pretty great. Place its usually quiet and not too trafficked yet. Reclaimed wood tables, Wi-​Fi, bench and chair seating. Nice people. Clean. Some outdoor seating on their porch.

After only a single short visit I can’t wait to come back. Deceivingly large and laid back. The coffee was delicious, exploring this menu will be fun.

I had such a lovely evening at Perk and Cork with friends! They staff was very welcoming and even though it’s a seat yourself place, they went out of the way to put tables together to accommodate us.
It was a quiet evening in the wine bar but I am confident once they have their grand opening next week, they will start to be full and I’ll be waiting for a place to sit!
They were five of us and we all shared the Mediterranean Platter which was comprised of olives, insanely good Feta, the most amazing hummus I’ve ever eaten, and I’m sorry to say another sauce/​dip I failed to try! We also got the cheese platter which had a lovely goat cheese (it was creamy and tangy without being overwhelming), Brie, a delicious herbed cheese and I think… a blue cheese (didn’t try that one). There were also mixed cured meats on the platter and all was served with grilled buttered toasted baguette. Such amazing bites to go with the wine! Our table was split on red and white wine orders, and everyone was happy with their choice. We finished the night off with the strawberry banana and Nutella panini as well as the holy effing AMAZING S’mores panini. Oh man… that S’mores panini was the perfect toasty crunchy outside with drippy melty chocolate inside glued together by ooey gooey marshmallow! I feel like the panini alone would have made me a big fan of Perk and Cork!
Only a couple things to note: we weren’t offered plates with our appetizer platters so we ate off of napkins, and then for dessert there were only 4 clean plates (which we had to ask for) but 5 of us. Also I do wish they had red wine glasses; all wine was served in small bowl type glasses. Our server didn’t know anything about the wines, but that will I’m sure be different once they are out of their soft opening.
Overall this will be a place I’d love to frequent and will tell everyone about!
(Also– last week went for coffee and their iced coffee was DELISH and the frosting on their cinnamon rolls is a killer cream cheese frosting that I may or may not have since dreamed about!)

Love this new spot! My wife and I stopped in for lunch and sat outside on the porch. The Mediterranean platter was wonderful and they really know how to make a great hummus. We will return, especially to enjoy a bottle of wine.

Great little neighborhood place perfect for coffee in the morning and drinks in the evening. My husband had the perk and cork sandwich and I had the Mediterranean panini. Both were delicious. Atmosphere is great in an awesome neighborhood. Enjoyed sitting on the front porch drinking our coffee.

We just got breakfast from here today and it was amazing! The strawberry banana sundae panini was the best thing I’ve had in a while. I don’t usually go for the sweet things but this was out of this world! We also had the egg and cheese panini with prosciutto and that did not disappoint. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly and the prices were great for what you got! Go check this place out!!!

I judge coffee shops on their iced coffee, and I love the iced coffee at Perk & Cork. Plus, they have a wine list and I was told they will probably get high gravity beers soon, too. Great addition to Riverside Village!

Love this addition to the neighborhood. Riverside village needs a good coffee shop and this place is great. Coffee is reasonability priced, everything baked fresh, and service is fast. Support this local business!
