Tucked away down the stairs within the shops of the Parkview Centre on Tyrone Avenue is a characterful little coffee shop and roastery which is as inviting and friendly as the coffee is delicious. If you love your coffee shop to be quaint and unique, with heaps of personality, you’ll enjoy sipping your cuppa at this little gem.

Roasting coffee since 1996, The Perfect Cup has come into its own in the last few years to become a wonderful spot to stop for great coffee, superb pancakes, simple-but-delicious breakfast or lunch, and a place to purchase freshly roasted beans to make coffee at home.

Top-quality Arabica coffee beans are sourced from seven different countries and there are both single origin coffees and blends available impotenciastop.com. The beans are roasted daily and the rich, dark beans are on display in large glass containers on the counter.

I sought out The Perfect Cup on a lazy Saturday morning and nabbed a corner table next to the magazines. We enjoyed mild, flavourful cappuccinos and a simple-but-delicious breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon and tomato. The musicians arrived during our breakfast and we enjoyed a wonderful morning of coffee sipping, live jazz listening and magazine reading.   

Embracing an almost village-like atmosphere, this comfortable home-away-from-home is great value for money and a special place to enjoy great coffee and a snack.
