Perk Coffee and Doughnuts in Highland

This drop-in coffee shop has pretty much everything going for it-- a bright, cheerful exterior, a cozy interior with a little bench, reasonable pricing for excellent treats. Artisan donuts? They are beautiful as well as delicious. Coffee? The best I had in Inverness! They're great about substituting and vegan options, too. Not only is it good, but the staff was so welcoming, cheerful, and chatty-- you can tell they are dedicated to their regulars as well as those just passing through. For showmanship, price, and atmosphere, go no further than Perk!

Fantastic find. Excellent doughnuts and tea. Friendly staff too! Will most definitely be back, hopefully soon 😋

perk is one of my favourite things about living in inverness. the doughnuts are always amazing, they aren’t expensive for being artisanal, there’s always a vegan option, the staff are always great and chatty, everything is so tasty! my partner got me a doughnut stack for my birthday last year and it’s the best birthday “cake” i’ve had to date. it was definitely the showpiece of the room and all of my friends were super impressed. not only did it look great, it also tasted delicious. thanks so much for existing perk!

Went with my family today. Unbelievable donuts! Staff very informative with awesome customer service. Tip- go as early as you can as the good donuts are so good they go fast!

Awesome Donuts!!! Rudolf was delicious with salted caramel filling. Good Coffee!! Thank you for making me a fresh sandwich at breakfast time. It looks so good! Chicken chorizo and spicy mayo!!!

5 just isn't enough for Perk Inverness, fantastic doughnuts made fresh every day fantastic coffee and very good price. The staff are so helpful and the establishment is spotless. Tucked away just off the high Street Perk is. MUST if your in Inverness, you won't be disappointed.

First morning in Scotland and wanted to have a Scottish breakfast. Came to this little cafe and we were not disappointed! Hubby had the full breakfast and enjoyed everything even the haggis! We’ll definite come back!

Nous sommes tombés pas hasard sur l'endroit, et ce fût une belle surprise !Délicieux doughnuts fait maison, et il y en a pour tout les gôuts.Chocolat, Canelle, Blueberry, Ananas, tous étaient incroyables!Les meilleurs doughnuts de notre vie !Allez-y les yeux fermés!

Go here! Excellent donuts and tea! The girl working was also super nice. Gave recommendations on other places to eat.

They sell delicious vegan and regular Doughnuts in different sorts. The coffee is also very good. You can take away both, but you can also sit in the coffee and enjoy your food and beverages. It is a small place, but highly recommended.

I am in my 60s and have probably eaten a total of ten doughnuts in my whole life. I kept passing this place and hearing people raving about it so I decided to try one of their doughnuts. Wow, these are something else, nothing like sugary, deep fried offerings you get elsewhere. They also do vegan doughnuts and the great thing is that they don't use cheap and nasty soya in them. I am not sure it was a good idea to try these because I am sure they can become really addictive.

This family run business begins with a warm welcome the minute you walk through the door. We had a box with a variety of 5 different doughnuts. Each one was bursting with flavour and was soft. The classic jam doughnut has a delicious home cooked taste to it. The Biscoff Doughnut was creamy and a delight to eat. The fruit doughnuts were sweet, but not too sweet, just the right amount to doughnut combination. Highly recommend this place.

I like to think of myself as a bit of a doughnut connoisseur having spent a decade travelled the length and breadth of the UK with the soul purpose of discovering the ‘hole-y grail’ of doughnuts - I can safely say I’ve found it at Perk!

Try the Pina Colada doughnut! It’s yummy! Ladies in the shop are lovely too! Hope to be back for more soon!

One of the best donuts I’ve had and I’ve had a lot at many different places! Would highly recommend :) The staff are really friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere is lovely!

I got advised to go there from a different food shop! Perk coffee, sandwich and vegan brownie ( looks more like a donut) was awesome and great prices.

Der beste Kaffee ever, und die Speisen grandios. Hinzu kommt, dass es eine sehr freundliche Atmosphäre war, und man spürte dass hier mit Herz und Seele für dieses tolle Lokal gearbeitet wird. Danke für das tolle Erlebnis

I really enjoyed the Biscoff donut! I took one to-go and at most of it while waiting for my flight at the Inverness airport the following day, and it still tasted delicious and fresh! It was a huge donut, so it can last awhile!

The lightest most imaginative doughnuts ever.Maple syrup bacon doughnuts -for real! Divine hot chocolate.Perfect for a quick stop in or takeaway.

If I could give 10 stars I would! I've been going into Perk since the day they opened and they had me from the start. Every month they have a killer menu of doughnuts - all freshly made every day! Their soup is some of the best in Inverness and THEY DO THE BEST COFFEE - no competitors. But the one thing that really keeps me coming back (like every week) is not their loyalty cards but their service. The team here are all absolute gems and the energy in the tiny shop is booming - I know that if I'm having a bad day a visit to Perk will turn it around. All of the love

Love this place. Very welcoming, and the coffee is great!! Doughnuts are delicious too! Recommend to everyone to try this place!

Not another doughnut shop on the planet makes doughnuts this good. My only regret is I didn't buy more of them. The coffee was lovely too.

Fantastic donuts and excellent coffee! Great location and a warm welcome from the team. Our best pick from our Highlands trop!

After many nights of camping out in the wilderness, was so thankful to be met with amazing coffee and outstanding doughnuts, friendly staff and a chilled out atmosphere. Shame I didn’t have enough room for every doughnut they have on offer 😁

These guys are absolutely fab and make the best doughnuts&sandwiches;! The staff are lovely, the doughnuts/sandwiches are so fresh and delish- highly recommend a stop off here! The pic attached is the best cookie dough doughnut🍩

Visited several times now and working my way through the delicious doughnuts, light and airy with lovely fillings. Try the chicken and chorizo sandwich as it must be the best sandwich I have ever bought. Lovely coffee and friendly, happy staff make this a must to visit if you are in Inverness. Well done the small business showing the chains how it should be done!

We grabbed a couple sandwiches here before boarding the train at Inverness station. I had a hummus and beet and the Mrs. had a mozzarella and sun dried tomato. They were both delicious, much better than anything offered on the train. Their donuts looked amazing too although we didn’t try any this visit.

Two friends and I went here on a busy Saturday morning and were impressed with the warm welcome from the staff especially the owner's dad who was helping out around the tables. The doughnuts were beautiful and the tea just perfect. Keep doing what you're doing guys and you will be a success.

You really need to go here for a doughnut (or three!) and a coffee!!! The ladies in the shop are so friendly and sweet and the doughnuts (made right there in front of you) are unbelievable. Wish I had been able to stay in Inverness for another day so I can have gone back for more!!!

PERK have a fabulous (wee) but perfectly formed shop - and a team that are always smiling and happy when you walk in.

Sometimes vegans have a hard time finding food. GO HERE for your sweets. They sell an amazing vegan donut.

Great coffee (a huge compliment coming from an Australian coffee snob)! But the best thing about this place are the doughnuts - they are possibly the best I’ve ever had. The mango unchained doughnut was soooo good. I stopped in around 9am one morning and the ladies were still finishing off some of the doughnuts, so I got to witness first hand the love and care they put into them. A must stop in Inverness.

I can't recommend this little gem of a place enough, little pieces of heaven! Always creating a new menu every month and the doughnuts just gets tastier and tasker! My favourite little spot to stop in and grab a latte and doughnut and just watch the world go bye. Very welcoming and staff are so so lovely! The coffee is delicious and also sandwiches are unique and fill me up everytime!

Stopped in for a coffee on the recommendation of a friend and I'm so glad I did. Really friendly service, delicious coffee and wonderful handmade doughnuts, this is a must if you're in Inverness!

The donuts are out of this world and you always get a cheery welcome from the team at Perk! Drop in for lunch, the soup is home made and the sandwiches are top notch!

We would have never imagine we would eat the best doughnuts ever so far away from home. Really , they are absolutely awesome. Definitely you have to take the time to come and try The coffee one . We had 2!!!!!

Delicious sandwiches, homemade soup and a selection of beautifully decorated doughnuts to choose from! What's not to like? Looking forward to visiting again soon!

I had the biscoff doughnut and it was so good! They also had a selection of sandwiches and homemade soup which looked unreal too. Nice touch also have a vegan doughnut on the menu to choose from as well. Looking forward to my next visit already! Would highly recommend Perk to people visiting (and living in) Inverness!

Nicole and team produced a wonderful selection of doughnuts for Julie’s birthday. A wonderful Biscoff (always good) and a few special ones - including a marmite peanut butter special (which apparently divided the team - as it should!!!)

It's at the point now that I have converted about 10 people I know to going on a weekly bases. They change the doughnut menu on a monthly bases, which I think is a great idea. Every month I end up trying half the menu, then I settle on my favourite. The dough is light, soft and has the right amount of chew if that makes sense. They like to go big with their flavour combinations, which works most of the time but that is purely an opinion based on personal preference. The service is always brilliant, they try to use as much eco friendly packaging as possible and the decor is simply delightful.

I have been getting doughnuts from Perk since they opened and each time I try one of their new doughnuts they get better and better. I love how there is a new menu each month and I love the variety of vegan doughnuts they have. The staff are all super friendly and helpful when you are stuck between which doughnut to get.

This is a lovely wee dougnut shop and the doughnut are lovely and so different. The staff are very personable too and the shop is beautifully put together.

Walking around Inverness, found this little gem on Church Street, almost did not go in but fancied a home made doughnut. Greeted very friendly as I looked at the selection of doughnuts. Told by the young man that the dough was made fresh daily. I picked a chocolate covered one with white chocolate drizzle and crispy smartie type sweets on top. I also ordered an americano coffee which also was very good.

Took a break here for coffee and doughnuts, and ended up relaxing on the benches talking to the owners (sisters). They are super friendly, and the doughnuts are worth the visit.

The selection of the fresh doughnuts is amazing. There hasn’t been a week since they opened that I haven’t visited this shop. Great new doughnuts to try every month and it’s great when they bring back a favourite one for a limited time, keeps it fresh and interesting. The coffee is the best I have tasted in town. So worth a visit, a superb little local business.

Perfect Everything % + 10 % = 110%

Messaged the lovely folks at Perks, not really knowing what I wanted, just that I wanted doughnuts for a baby shower. They were so helpful.When I collected them , they were beautifully decorated and looked great. they made it all the way to The Isle of Skye, without me giving in to temptation and they were a huge hit at the baby shower. Tasted fantastic, looked fantastic and fantastic service.

Just love this shop for amazing doughnuts and superb coffee. Small but super friendly and also great selection of soup and sandwiches for lunch x

This shop has been such a lovely addition to Inverness. Hard work pays off making the freshest tastiest donuts from scratch everyday, they are just amazing! Can’t stress enough what a lovely shop this is - a must try when in Inverness!

I visit Perk regularly and the quality is always top notch. Menu changes keep things fresh and I’ve never been disappointed yet. Staff are brilliant and always helpful. Well worth visiting if you are in Inverness!

I love visiting perk. Beautiful fresh doughnuts and exciting flavours. Only downside is that if you don't get there early there are none left! The homemade jam is to die for.

Came here when it first opened and was the most amazing experience! All the people in the shop are so lovely and welcoming they made me feel at home. The donuts were out of this world best I’ve ever had and the drinks and sandwiches were pretty amazing too. Highly recommend for any perk me up anyday.

Absolutely lovely vegan donuts. If you've not tried then you must!! You'll have to go early because they go fast

We are so lucky to have such a fantastic local business like this in Inverness, amazing donuts, they change the menu monthly, I must say, by the end of the month I can’t wait to see what creations they have come up with for the next month! They do a donut of the day too which is great value, I normally treat myself to a coffee and donut, the coffee is also very good. They also have a soup offer every day and do sandwiches. Myself and my husband have tried them, excellent quality and well packaged, the only problem is that it leaves no room for donuts! The staff are also always really friendly, I was speaking to them one day and noticed on their business card that they can deliver boxes locally if the order is big enough, ideal for a party or a workplace. A real gem of a place, I tend to park on church street if I can get a space and take advantage of the pay and display 15 minutes free parking, means you only have to press the green button on the pay and display machines and a 15 minute ticket! Fantastic incentive which supports local business’s like this. I have never tasted a better donuts!

Over a period of a couple of days visiting Inverness, I scoffed a box of 6 doughnuts as needed to try all flavours. The doughnuts were so light and fluffy, deliciously sweet but far from overly so. I wish I had a Perk near me in London. Can't wait for my next visit

I love going to Perk for my lunch, I try to go every week. Not only are the donuts phenomenal, and available in some cool and unusual flavours, their sandwiches and soups are also fantastic.

This was a very special treasure to find on our vacation to Scotland. Not only did Perk do coffee right (we are from the PNW in the US, so we KNOW coffee), but they mastered the doughnut, and added witty doughnut names to boot. The environment was so bright and cheerful, yet cozy. Perfect spot for a pick me up as we explored the downtown area.

This lovely small new business has been the talk of the town for a few months now. Fresh doughnuts with inventive flavours and fillings, changing every month.

Stopped in for a doughnut and they did not disappoint! Pleasant and knowledgable staff along with a quaint atmosphere made it a great experience. Did see some stop in for coffee, but no personal opinion there. If it is near as tasty as the doughnut you can't go wrong. Cheers!

The best doughnuts i have ever tasted!! I haven't been out of the place since it opened. The staff are the loveliest and so gifted creating an innovative, clever and delicious menu each month. The sandwiches are too a must try, it's clear to see the highest quality of ingredients are used!!
