The Perch is the best place to have breakfast. I go there every Friday morning and it is the highlight of my week! The food is absolutely delicious and the service is always with a smile! For breakfast, I suggest the sugar, butter, cinnamon crepe with a side of the grits, and top it off with the Eiffel Tower specialty drink! You will never be the same!

It's pretty good. Super small and don't even think of going on a Sunday morning because it's packed and did I mention- TINY? They had some nice coffee drinks and I enjoyed my egg scramble. Crepes were ok. Maybe I'm not much of a crepe person, too much crepe, not enough filling. Don't know if I'll return based on wait time, but food was good.

Lauren S.

This is THE place for excellent crepes! From savory to sweet to omlettes & waffles- it is excellent! Great breakfast place. If they had more gluten free options, I'd give it 5 stars.

Jack L.

The food was incredible! A friend and I split a blueberry Belgian waffle ($6.50) and the spinach - artichoke - havarti crepe($7.00). The waffle was delicately browned with fresh blueberries on top and the syrup was amber colored, vanilla, and slightly nutty. The savory crepe was filled with shredded havarti, whole leaves of spinach, and circular slices of artichoke. They also sell Odwalla juice. The establishment is small, a little cramped, and decorated eclectically with lights and bird-related paraphernalia (hence the name). The staff seemed nice, if a bit overwhelmed. Service was still good. We opted to sit outside and snagged the last of the five tables with an umbrella. There is additional outside seating for parties of two with no sun coverage.

Service was ok (the girl at the counter taking orders and delivering food was obviously having a bad day but the guy who actually brought our food was super friendly). I had the prosciutto savory crepe and it was AMAZING. Order this. Right now. You're welcome. The rest of the table had the blueberry waffle, the caramel apple crepe and the manchego cheese crepe and there was nothing left on anyone's plate.

I had high expectation for the perch. But after trying it this morning, I think it's just good, not really outstanding. I had the perch latte (called best chocolate ever) and Nutella (sweet crepe). In my opinion, the food is average or higher. I feel what makes this place popular is the ambience. It's really a nice place in the neighborhood to sit down with some friends, have some coffee, chat and social.

There is always room in my tummy for a nutella banana crepe. That being said, my crepe was great. I visited on a Saturday and it was packed but not over capacity, luckily. The venue isn't big and that adds to a warm atmosphere. While ordering, I found the division of sweet and savory crepes on the menu to be extremely clever and helpful. If you don't want to eat, there is a wide variety of coffee and other caffeine-intense drinks to stimulate your artistic creativity or to motivate you to study into the wee hours of the morning. I will be back.

Needs work on PROCESS. I am writing this review mainly because I love the food here but would love to want to come more often. The food is delicious... the process of getting it is incredibly painful. I have been to The Perch three times in the last two weeks and each time the process is the same... at least they're consistent about what goes wrong each time. 1. Ordering needs to be easier for the customer and for the cashier personnel. You place your order by listing the ingredients in the crepe, omelette, waffle, etc. This is confusing to both parties because there are multiple crepes with similar ingredients. The cashier often gets confused about what the customer wants VS what's on the menu. (PB+banana, or PB+banana+granola+honey?) Since ingredients have to be listed out AND cross-checked, this process takes lots of TIME. It would be much faster and less confusing if each crepe were numbered, or if each crepe had a name (the sparrow? the bluejay? the turkey? the pear-ch?). 2. Job duties, their assignment, and their priority needs to be more clearly defined. Sometimes there isn't anyone at the cash register and customers wait. Sometimes a customer has asked for a tea bag for their hot water and the guy who responds first wipes down a counter in the back, delivers some silverware to a customer who doesn't have food yet, etc before responding. Sometimes food is waiting to be delivered while the guy responsible for this delivery is wiping down a counter. These are the things that happened to other customers while I waited in line... it took 15 minutes for the cashier to process 3 people ahead of me. 4. Layout Place the coffee next to the fixins. This will prevent customers who have already ordered interrupting the line. Get bigger cups for water. This will prevent customers from having to get up/down during their meal- something that would be especially convenient since there isn't much space AND would help improve throughput. Prevent coffee from running out and/or getting cold- establish a process for checking whether the coffee needs refilling. You could do this based on ordering volume per hour, or just simply start with a reasonable increment of time depending on customer volume... Not sure whether this type of thing is already implemented or not, but it doesn't seem to be since I've experienced process problems with the coffee on multiple occasions. I love these crepes, both savory and sweet. The coffee is delicious when it's hot and available. I will continue to come back until the process gets too painful. I would definitely recommend coming to this restaurant- just at an off time when you could guarantee no customers in the shop.

While they may be best known for their crepes, I recently ordered the scrambled eggs with mesclun salad and mixed fruit. It was the perfect way to start my day without filling too full. The eggs were delicate, light and fluffy full of flavor. The salad was lightly dressed with a lovely vinagrette that added just the touch of acidity to balance the creamy eggs and the fruit was a combo of blueberries, really ripe honeydew and pineapple almost too pretty to eat.

Chris C.

1st time to the perch. Fast friendly service with delicious coffee & waffles. 100% health score. I will return

K L.

Good coffee, cute decor and nice breakfast choices. I have been here several times now for breakfast. Nice alternative to the chain coffee places and it serves so much more.

Jordan S.

Great and unique menu, the breakfast crepes were amazing and the Perch Latte I had (Eiffel Tower) rocked. Came in during a rush, and theyre not really set up to handle large numbers, but it was well worth the wait.

Scott B.

Ordered one of their specialities, shrimp and grits, and was not overly impressed. They weren't bad, but it tasted like instant grits & butter with three shrimp on top. I prefer a few more levels of flavor and shrimp mixed in. The hot tea was also just, regular speciality bag tea. Its not overly priced($12 for grits & small tea) and if I lived close I would probably eat there again, but its not one of those "must eat" places.

Grace G.

The food here is exceptional! I ordered an egg white scramble and a sweet crepe (PB, honey, granola) and they were both divine. I enjoyed the crepe because it wasn't too heavy & was the perfect end to my meal. This shop is very busy, however, so be prepared to wait. I think I plopped down & read for about 40mins before receiving my food. Not a place to come if you're in a hurry, but has a great vibe for business meetings or casual company. Close access to the interstate makes it very convenient.

Ryan P.

Enjoyed spending time with my wife during this morning breakfast run. Food was good and fast, and ambiance was nice. Slightly pricey for the meal but well worth it because of the quality.

Savannah R.

WARNING: do not go on the weekend and EXPECT to order a crêpe (hour long wait for crêpes & not making more til then, crêpe chef not here, etc) - however all of the other food (salads, waffles, etc) are excellent! After several failed attempts at ordering a crêpe here, I finally had one today! And man, was it worth it. The crêpe with egg,chorizo, Manchego, & salsa is so.freakin.good. This Texas gal is 110% satisfied with the Tex-Mex flavors and portions (omg) I'm completely stuffed but feel like I could eat and endless supply of that deliciousness. Oh yeah, coffee here is pretty tasty too!

Candra G.

Surprisingly, this place has become on of my go-tos for breakfast in Nashville. There's no crazy wait for mediocre food.....great food, mostly self-service, and relatively inexpensive. I typically go to the one in Brentwood since it's closer to my house, but this location was great as well. Highlights: Build your own Omelette (I love the bacon, pepper jack, onion, and mushroom combo), crepe with nutella, and the belgian waffle.

Lisa J.

They have almond milk and their lattes are delicious and the chai latte is spicy and sweet.

Ashwin M.

There are three known creperies to mankind in Nashville, and two of them are The Perch. Their choices cover the spectrum, and for the creperie-phobes there is always an omelet option, and for the yolk-phobes, there is an egg white option, and for the egg-white-phobes, the door is always an option. The interior is tastefully done, replete with abstract art (or at least that's what I thought), and nicely hewed rustic wooden furniture. There is outdoor seating for those brave enough to venture into the molten outdoors during Summer brunch. The only complaint I have is that, once, when the three of us ordered our crêpes, mine came out cold and extra-chewy. I guess the chef wanted to bring out all 3 at the same time, and let mine sit for a bit. This is still easily one of the best brunch places in Green Hills.

Elissa B.

(Note: I don't know if this is the location we ate at, but they both serve the same food) Boyfriend and I were going to eat somewhere else. In fact, we walked a mile out to that somewhere else and the wait was too long. We walked the mile back toward the hotel and happened to spy The Perch nearby. In my near-starvation, I agreed to eat here without doing my usual review research. THANK HEAVENS. I almost couldn't order because I wanted all of it. Not even out of hunger! But because everything sounded so good. We both got some kind of scramble with chorizo, which came with a little side salad. LET ME TALK IN CAPS LOCK AGAIN BECAUSE DAMMIT THIS WAS DELICIOUS. I ate in less than a minute. Boyfriend, who can take 11 times longer to eat than anyone, finished within a second of me. The salad dressing was lovely, and the scramble was perfect. I immediately wanted to order it again. Boyfriend had to drag me away. I whined a lot. The only (small) note is that I ordered an almond latte from their menu, but they somehow misunderstood me and gave me an almond milk latte. Still good, just not what I wanted. I'm sad we didn't get to eat here again, and I never eat a second time at a restaurant when traveling.

Shawny M.

France imma let you finish, but The Perch has the best crepes of ALL TIME! I ordered the s'mores crepe and instead of Hershey's chocolate syrup the master crepe maker Lamar hit it with the Nutella. Wow. Give me s'more of that. There was also a little s'more on top of my s'mores crepe. S'moreception. Not only was the food good but Lamar came and ask how everything tasted. A class act. It's good. Real good.

Victoria L.

Usually when I get coffee or hot chocolate from a cafe it's because I want to contribute to the establishment while I use their tables to catch up with a friend or do some work. I rarely actually enjoy the coffee. When I ordered the Pumpkin Spice at The Perch I realized all of those other pumpkin spices are liars! It was honestly the best tasting coffee I've ever had. They have a cinnamon bun latte that is fantastic as well. I'm lucky they aren't located on my way to work or I would be in serious trouble. The space at both locations feels very cramped so unfortunately it's not somewhere I would feel comfortable with a cozy hot chocolate and a book, but at the end of the day it is a business. The service is friendly and they seem to be very loyal to their repeat customers, which is always a big plus in my book. I've been to both locations a couple of times and I can say the service and quality have been consistent across visits.

David B.

This has become my go-to place for a quickly and expertly prepared crepe du jour for breakfast or lunch. Best of all, they will accommodate special requests. On the first visit, I asked if they could prepare a simple fresh fruit crepe, and la voila, a wondrous sliced-strawberry crepe arrived quite shortly at the table. On the savory side, the turkey, brie, and arugula crepe drizzled with balsamic really hits the spot. While staying in Franklin and visiting the hospital every day, I'm so thankful to have found a place like this in the area just off 431. I've tried a few of their coffees, and they are right up my alley, rich to mild. but lacking that burned flavor that a certain Seattle coffee shop imparts.

Denikka D.

The location in Downtown Nashville is extremely prejudice. I patronize this place almost every day and they treat me extremely poorly. I am contacting the Better business Bureau and reporting their bad behavior and rudness!

Larisa N.

The best place to eat crepes. I've been to Red Bicycle a couple of times and wasn't good. These crepes are the best and their chefs, Lamar and Jack, are very sweet and friendly people. They also have a location in Brentwood. Their chai tea late kicks Starbucks' ass.

Nashville T.

Fastfood breakfast with cheap condiments. Reminds me of someplace you would see at Prague airport lounge. Not a compliment.

Loser F.

The perch is my new favorite eating spot in green hills. I love how I can walk in at 3:30pm and order an omelette and waffles. The ambiance was very relaxing and quiet. The omelette that I ate was to die for and the fruit salad that I ordered was fresh fruit. I highly recommend stopping by and eating at The perch.

Sara C.

So. Good. The turkey cranberry crepe is to die for! And this downtown spot is perfect to get some work done while enjoying the awesome food and coffee. Oh and they have WINE which I also enjoy while getting work done :)

Kelly M.

This is a great local spot in Green Hills. I frequently stop in for coffee before work in the mornings and there's never a line. You can get in and out so fast, unlike going to Starbucks, and the coffee is great. I love coming here for weekend brunch as well. It is usually not too crowded. The waffles here are some of the best I've ever had. Very light and fluffy. I always get the banana walnut waffle. The crepes are great, too.

Micheal P.

I've been thinking about it, and I've decided to throw The Perch another star. The sheer number of items this place offers make it really worth a visit. Can you go anywhere else in this city and get such a variety of sweet crepes, savory crepes, waffles, omelets, lox, french pastries, coffee, and wine? It's like the mecca of brunch. Each time I go, I can't stop myself from ordering one of everything. What's more, after I eat, I find that I'm really GLAD that I ordered one of everything! No regrets. Five stars.

Jayda K.

The turkey, arugula, cranberry, Brie, and balsamic crepe is honestly one of those things I could eat for the rest of my life. The crepe itself is more thick than ones I've had before, but the flavors are spot on. Now I understand why they have been able to create a small chain throughout Nashville. Prices are also super reasonable.

Jason B.

The coffee was really good, maybe one of the better dark roasts that I've had locally. I had a crepe with chorizo, manchego, and salsa verde. Based on the color and taste of the cheese, I'm not convinced it was manchego, but more like shredded Kraft cheddar. There was only a tiny bit of the salsa verde on top of the crepe and inside. More of the salsa could've added more flavor and kept the crepe from seeming a bit dry. Overall, the crepe was soft, delicate, and well prepared. Unfortunately, nothing else came with the crepe, and I was still a bit hungry when I finished. Perhaps they should consider offering a side of fruit or a breakfast salad, like is offered with the omelet. I'd give it another go, but would probably try something different.

Melody P.

Decor is sparse to done, but that doesn't bother me. What bothers me is that I paid $9 for a pear, blue cheese, arugula, walnut crepe and there was little to no filling. With each bite, I expected to actually taste one of the four items. By the time I was done, I wished I had opened it up to take a picture, but like I said, I assumed that I'd eventually get to the filling. Alas, the crepe had only 3, yes 3, very thin slices of pear, a couple walnut halves, 10 or less arugula leaves, and a very mild blue cheese flavor. Now, I've been to the Brentwood location a few times & there was ample filling, so i know The Perch can do better. I would have given it one star, but the crepe shell itself was light, soft & delish.

Dawn V.

The Perch Green Hills has a nice selection of crepes both sweet and savory, waffles and coffees to choose from. They have two salads on the menu that are generous and tasty. The Perch is an occasional stop for us twice per year)as the service is exceptionally slow and the layout of the interior is cramped at best. Waiting 30 minutes for two crepes and a salad is ridiculously slow. Not worth the wait if there were another crepe place in town.

A B.

The Perch definitely has a good thing going on! The drinks are delicious, the service friendly, and the food is quality. I reccomend indulging in one of their many crepes. It's a quaint, casual space with the option to seat yourself outside (unless you're drinking an adult beverage-- which, thank you, by the way, for having!). Sometimes they can get backed up, but I figure I can't be the ONLY person who enjoys this place.

Tran T.

I'm a fan of their Belgian waffles and sweet crepes. The waffles are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The crepes are a little bit on the thicker side. They actually fill you up and the prices aren't expensive. I am, however, not a fan of their coffee. Their Ice Mocha and Almond Bark Latte were average for me. I had better coffee at Nordstrom Ebar (Recommended!!). Staff were helpful and service was great. I suggest outdoor seating because it's always freezing inside. Note: For those who wonder what kind of crepe is on my profile pic, it's Sweet crepes with strawberry and banana (add fruit for 0.75 cents). 2013/#6

Diana S.

Didn't experience the mad crush of people and the customer service was fine, but I went at around 1:30pm on a weekday. I had a spinach and cheese omelette with a side of fruit and decaf - the food was really good (although the cheese could have been better) and the decaf was not strong, as it so often is at coffee places, since it isn't a common order - what can I say - caffeine gives me an insane amount of energy for about 45 minutes, then strips me of it for the rest of the day. The fruit, I believe, actually cost almost the same as the omelette, but the honeydew was ripe and luscious, the granny Smith apples crisp and tart and the blueberries mellow. For sunny days, there are tables outside that I assume are available for Perch customers.

Elizabeth M.

We've been to The Perch a few times now, and I think we're going to make a weekend routine of it. They have seating packed inside as well as more spacious seating out on their patio. The Reuben and Nordic crepe special have been my favorites: flavorful and packed with fillings. The chicken, mushroom, and cheese crepe was a bit bland, and the chorizo crepe was a bit dry and needed more salsa verde. I also love the peanut butter, banana, granola, and honey crepe. It's sweet and huge compared to the others I've tried. Their coffee is hot and fresh, and their prices are all reasonable in my opinion. I thought some of their creeps were a little small for the price, but they ended up being plenty once I'd finished and kept me satiated until lunch time. They have a selection of savory and sweet crepes, omelets, and waffles, along with several speciality coffee drinks and flavored lattes. It's a casual, quick dining spot , and while not very cozy, has a cute cafe sort of feel. I'm excited to try them in the evening for wine and tapas!

Terrell T.

This is my favorite coffee shop. The Campfire (I prefer iced) is my go-to latte. Omelettes are delicious, and the Nutella Waffles are another option that won't let you down. Friendly staff, great drinks and food. Can't go wrong.

Tori M.

The latte here is one of my favorites in Nashville, and the crepes never disappoint. I would recommend one of the savory crepes that has balsamic - keeps the crepe from being too dry! Everyone who works there that I have encountered is very nice. A great brunch spot, or just a quick stop for morning coffee!
