Crema's Take

PerKup Cafe is a genuine gathering spot where families linger over impeccably cooked breakfasts—think perfectly executed eggs and buttery buttermilk biscuits made from fresh ingredients—while the staff treats everyone from grandparents to kids with real warmth. It's the kind of unassuming place that feels like a hidden gem once you discover it, where the extensive menu and thoughtful touches like a senior menu make everyone feel welcomed and cared for.

Absolutely delicious breakfast at PerKup Cafe! We all agreed the ingredients for the egg dishes were fresh and well prepared. We all know easy it is to overcook eggs. This food was delightful! One in our party ordered the buttermilk pancakes. Not exaggerating. . . 3 lunch plate sized cakes that were 1/2 thick! Light, fluffy. Yum. Highly recommend. Enjoy!

Absolutely loved this breakfast place. My grandmother was so excited they offered a senior menu. The kids menu was perfect. All the food was delicious and the staff were super friendly. We really enjoyed dining here and will absolutely be back the next time we want breakfast. The offerings are very similar to IHOP but local. Prices were very reasonable. Have no complaints at all. Thank you so much for a great dining experience.

We stopped here for a fun breakfast on our way exploring around town. The food was delicious. My eggs were cooked perfectly and the buttermilk biscuit was a delightful treat. There are lots of coffee options and plenty of tasty baked goods. The real winners of the meal were the homemade pineapple jam which was divine! Be sure to get some of this stuff or you are missing out. The revenge sauce on the croissant sandwich was also absolutely delectable with a hint of spicy and a ton of creaminess. The service was very attentive and friendly. If we are back in this area we will definitely visit again.

This unassuming restaurant serves the most amazing breakfast I have had in a very long time. As you can see they have a very extensive menu with lots of great dishes. I asked the waitress what they are known for or what she recommends. She quickly pointed us to the biscuits and gravy and french toast. Everything we ordered was hot and delicious and seasoned perfectly. I do want to call out that they have the best hash browns I have ever had! They are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, just amazing. We are planning another trip back again soon but this time we want to try their lunch options.

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!🙂
