Perkatory Coffee Roasters is a Connecticut-based specialty coffee company founded in 2018 by husband-and-wife team Johanna and Joey Perazella. Born from a shared passion for craft coffee and punk rock culture, the brand operates multiple cafe locations across the state, each characterized by a distinct, high-energy aesthetic featuring skull-themed branding and industrial design. They specialize in small-batch, in-house roasting, utilizing a Diedrich IR-12 roaster to produce a revolving selection of single-origin beans and signature blends. The company has evolved from a single flagship location in a historic Middletown trolley barn into a thriving regional roaster that emphasizes artisan production methods and a welcoming, community-focused atmosphere.
