I’ve been to PerKup several times in the past, and always enjoyed my experience until the last time I was there. I met a friend for breakfast, and as we were chatting my friend noticed the staff behind us talking very noticeably about us leaving. We were not camping out and had not been there an excessive amount of time, in fact I was still eating the food on my plate. Based on this experience and other recent reviews, it seems the atmosphere has become rather unwelcoming.

Watch their coupons...received one via email for "your next order at PerKup Cafe." I interpreted it literally that the coupon was good AT the cafe, but when I attempted to redeem it in the restaurant I was pointed to the fine print that it was for online orders only. As regular customers there it would have been nice for the manager to have shown some interest in working with me, but he refused to acknowledge the misleading wording in the email. Good news is, there are plenty of other great brunch spots on the west side I'll be happy to give my business to.

Food is great, but their revenge sauce was very tame.

The food is tasty, I’ve never had an issue with that, but the cost for what you are given has gone downhill. I don’t know if there are new owners or management but our family has been customers for at least 5-6 years and they’ve cut some of the better options. I used to pay 15-20 dollars for a filling breakfast, now $15 gets me a breakfast sandwich with no sides and I still have to pay extra for a simple drip coffee. I know prices are higher generally but 57 before tax for two seems high.
