This is my favourite coffee place at Elgin Mall. The owner is an institution here and greets everyone. The lattes are foamy and delicious. Lots of seating in the food court.

The coffee here was good. It may have been a little on the pricey side, however, the taste was delicious. The Perk also sells fresh coffee grinds to make your own coffee and tea with a variety of flavours and options.
