PerKup Cafe

This was our first time visiting Iowa. We Googled places to eat for breakfast and chose this place from several other options. This place was wonderful. It's definitely a hidden jewel.The food was good and the service was flawless. Our waitress was Caressa M. and she was very kind, patient, smiled, and checked in often to see if we needed anything. We highly recommend this place and wish we had a percup cafe in our state. Thanks Caressa for making our day start off great!🙂

This is one of my favorite places to get breakfast in town. From their amazing coffee selection to their food. Great biscuits and gravy and crispy hash browns. They make a great latte and cafe mocha. Also they have the best French toast in town. Either the blueberry or apple you can’t go wrong.

We visited PerKup Cafe on a Saturday morning around 8:30. It was fairly busy but not out of hand. There was a wait when we left around 9:15. A little girl sat us which was really cool and shows the true meaning of a family owned restaurant. The food was awesome, with highlights being the revenge sauce and apple cinnamon French toast. They had a very intriguing hash brown taco as well. They also have a full coffee bar to serve lattes and specialty drinks which was a great change of pace. We had never been before today, but will definitely be returning!

Worst food, they use burnt oil for cooking. Hash browns were terrible as well. We could smell burnt oil from food.

My wife has been feeling sick since we had breakfast this morning and thrown up couple of times. Will never ever visit.

This used to be my favorite place but I just went there today and their prices have almost doubled. I was shocked. $20 for a regular omelette, one piece of toast and hashbrowns. The food is good but not that outstanding. Won’t be back anytime soon.

We had so much fun at breakfast at the PerKup Cafe. The food was excellent but the service was outstanding.

Sorry for the unglamorous food pic, but that’s when I realized that this may be the perfect omelette. Egg / filling ratio consistent from first bite to last and perfectly proportioned. The hash browns were crunchy, not greasy, and the onions were cooked but still had texture.

First, I must clear this up, this is not a coffee place. They do serve a good cup of Joe, but this is a restaurant.

I'm always wary of greasy spoons, but this one is awesome. I liked the tech they're using in there. They have pagers for the wait line, handheld ordering systems. Really throws you off from the purple booths, purple cups and wainscoting.

Greta caught me rearranging my jalapenos in my "kick it up" Omelette. She hurried over to me to check and make sure everything was okay. Everything was splendid. She did a great job.

The food was great, I love to see the rings of Truth on a pancake that has been pan-fried.

They added corned beef hash to the menu! As demonstrated by my half-consumed portion pictured below - it's sooo good! Personally, I don't need the sausage gravy (but I bet lots of people will love it), I'll just know for next time. ❤

Cozy breakfast spot with delicious breakfast and lunch. Sunday mornings are busy, but the wait was not long and the service was prompt. Restaurant accommodates a variety of group sizes, and offers booster seats and high chairs for children.

The food was fantastic - especially the french toast. Nothing terribly fancy, just good food and a nice atmosphere. The menu has something for everyone with several ala carte options that are sure to please anyone. Menu is appropriately priced, and the bottomless coffee always hits the spot. Service was prompt and friendly, reflective of the family-run business. Great place to start the day.
