Planet Perk

Great place to hang! The workers are really friendly and accommodating. I was treated like a regular when I came in which is a great feeling in a café! I felt at home. I had a great wrap with a slice of coffee cake and a latte to finish.

Boy I tell ya what, this place is one of the coziest, comforting places in town — but today’s experience motivated me to create an account so I could leave a review here.
Today was particularly tough for me, so I decided to cruise on down and pick myself up a warm beverage with my last remaining pocket change. Holding back tears, I was being a general pain in the butt trying to figure out what I could afford, and ultimately paying with a handful of quarters. The staff was very kind to me even after the hassle, and you know what this gentleman did? He made some fricking heart-​shaped frothy coffee art on my drink. This dumb, cute little heart made me cry real tears — and I was a very appreciative sobbing mess.
Whether this was an intentional act of kindness, or just a procedural thing, I dunno. But it made my day slightly brighter (and messier, but to be fair, I did order a Dirty Chai) and I’ll be returning without a doubt.

This place is solid enough overall. I have not tried their food but I have hung out here for coffee several times.
First of all, they have Intelligentsia coffee. You can also buy it in bulk here, and they tell you the roasting date. That is where most of the stars are coming from here. Standard coffee is still standard drip brew in a big carafe, but it is still pretty solid compared to other options.
Note: I have updated this review to reflect that they’ve renovated and the space inside is much more open and literally bigger. The place looks great and has a very nice vibe. I no longer feel cramped hanging out in here.
The staff are fantastic. I’ve always had incredibly friendly service here without exception.
Other notes: Wifi with a password, cheap coffee refills, outdoor seating

I went here with limited option due to work location and time. I have to say that I will not be going back to this place. I had to wait 15 minutes for a $ 6.50 turkey sandwich. The sandwich was the size I expected and the meat was pretty good, but there was no mayo which left the sandwich so very dry save for the meager, wilted tomato slices that tasted like the inside of an old refrigerator. I highly recommend going the block and a half to New Moon for way more room, same pricing, and EXCELLENT food in a little more timely fashion. I do wish I could have experienced the outdoor seating, but was frigid winter-​maybe I will have to give these guys a second chance, come summer.

This place hit the spot for one of those cold Wisconsin days. There is a different soup of the day that you can purchase among a variety of sandwiches. The nice thing is that the bowls of soup are sizable. The soups themselves are tasty and hearty for the most part. The staff are friendly as well. They are also brew Intellingenstia coffee, but don’t expect any manual brewing here, just drip.

After a crazy wedding night in Oshkosh, all I wanted was a huge cup of coffee. So with bleary eyes and a good nose for coffee, I headed out to Planet Perk to grab a cup. I bellied up to the counter, ordered myself a large roast of the day (which happened to be their signature blend) and a big bottle of sparkling water, and headed outside to ingest. Of note: their outside seating rocks! Their coffee on the other hand, is decent. The first thing that turned me off was the acidic and fruity nature of the coffee (which isn’t my favorite) and secondly, I was not excited about my inability to make my coffee any other color than a creamy reddish orange (even after adding a ton of cream)…so something just seemed off. This place still gets 4 stars for being a real coffee shop in Oshkosh and for their attempts at making the downtown of my hometown a better place!

Planet Perk has a unique menu (with vegetarian options) and super friendly employees. I’ve never had to wait in line even at lunchtime! I always order the Milano (eggplant) sandwich and a café latte. It loses a star for seating. Although there is a good amount of seating, even some outdoors, the space doesn’t allow for there to be much space between tables. Some people might like that though. Everything else about the ambiance is wonderful!
