A little Trivia: Friends Premiered September 1994. Seven years after Periwinkle's opened.
Friends made the neighborhood café iconic.
But long before Central Perk, places like Periwinkles were already doing what matters—
good food, good coffee, and people coming together around the table.
Some things never go out of style. So come by, pull up a chair and stay awhile. We saved you a spot🪑☕️

Cool nights, warm days… and somehow you still have to decide what’s for dinner 😅

Good news—we already did that for you.
🍲 Homemade soups simmering away
🍽️ Scratch-made dinners ready when you are
🍰 Decadent desserts that will absolutely ruin your self-control.
The patio is still open, the sun is still hanging on, and these “perfect weather” days are numbered…
don’t be the person who says “we should’ve gone.”
Come eat. Sit outside. Order dessert first. We won’t judge.

There’s a shift in the air—
cooler evenings, softer sunsets, and a little more time to linger.
We’re leaning into it with a menu refresh…
hearty beef stew, fresh baked apple pies, and those first irresistible pumpkin desserts.
Fall is calling. Let’s go!
