friendly; truly excellent coffee (the best decaf Americano we've ever had); a lovely environment, with mini bookshop, flowers, crafts. and lots of good events too, like music and craft fairs. nice outdoor patio in the back and you can get breakfast sandwiches from Redstart along with your coffee from perfect lovers.

I might’ve had the best cappuccino I have ever had at perfect lovers! It’s a great neighborhood hang out. There’s great coffee, events, patio area, art/zines/etc. , and vibes!

It’s a cool vibe, not far from Duke Durham regional Hospital. I wish there were outlets so I could charge up. The coffee was great.

Carrie makes my favorite espresso drinks in all of Durham. I highly recommend Perfect Lovers.

Carrie has her espresso and milk texturing DIALED IN. Love her vibe, the peaceful cafe, the plants… Perfect Lovers is legit. 🔥☕️🔥

I’m from Los Angeles and found myself completely at home here with the warmest company. Listening to Rilo Kiley, drinking espresso, and sitting with plants filled me with peace - I even picked up a ceramic mug from here that fills/reminds me of this shop thousands of miles away. Grateful for this space and I will never miss the chance to come here when I’m in town!

An adorable hidden gem that doubles as a coffee shop and flower store! The atmosphere is very soothing, and the iced honey latte was delicious. Definitely worth checking out if you're a coffee lover!

Lovely spot for more than great politics. Pottery, pop-ups, poetry, music, dance, makers markets, and charming baristas. I couldn’t find the valet parking though.
