I used to pass this little coffee stand all of the time, but my route has changed, so I no longer travel by it.
I was told by the barista working there that Caffe Perfetto has been well established in this area for eighteen years, so they must be doing something right!
I decided to keep with tradition and order my usual, which is the Americano. I was happy I could get it in an 8 oz size instead of having to buy the 12 oz; I had already had two cups of coffee, I wasn't sure putting more caffeine in me would be the smartest thing on an empty stomach.
One of the first things I noticed was that the Americanos were relatively inexpensive, and Caffe Perfetto offered various sizes and various drinks. I can't confirm if they provided any snack foods; looking on their menu, I saw nothing provided, but that doesn't mean they didn't have something; I didn't notice anything offhand.
When I received my Americano, the aroma was very bold smelling; thinking to myself that it would taste as strong as it smelled, I was amazed it did not. There was a hint of creamy background with a fruity undertone and not too much of an acidic after-taste. Overall, it was a good Americano, but still, in my opinion, didn't meet that over-all wow factor that Island Smoothie and Austin Chase Coffee have.
I was a little disheartened to read that Caffe Perfetto goes through Dawson Taylor Coffee Roasters located in Boise, Idaho, not Washington State. It is always great to know when a company keeps it local and or stays within Washington State, at least Caffe Perfetto hires locally.
The barista was friendly enough, a little bit of chit-chat, which is fine; he wasn't rude. Everything around looked clean and tidy; as I stated earlier, Caffe Perfetto has been around for quite a while, so they are obviously doing something right! Anyone interested Caffe Perfettos location is 2811 Wheaton Way in Bremerton, WA. Just off Sheridan Road as well. They are neighbors with Taqueria Los Cazadores Mexican Restaurant, and across Wheaton Way is Saar's Super Saver Foods. Pickup or order for delivery through Grubhub!
