| - Any time I go to the Purple Perk I always ask myself the same question, "Doesn't anyone in this city work?"
No matter what time of day you go, this play is always packed. Not bad for a coffee shop that opened about four years ago. It wasn't always this popular, I remember going when it first opened and I would have the whole thing to myself.
But because it is so popular, it has become the perfect example of table-hogging. It is a great place to do networking and get some work done, but because it is so small, people tend to hold on to tables for way too long. Some people are respectful enough to share their tables with you, but that's always the case.
The Purple Perk has actually decided to turn off their wifi during the middle of the day. That way, those aspiring writers who waste their time on Facebook don't feel inclined to hand around all day.
And in case you've never tried it, the Perk is also the home of the $8.95 cup of coffee. Calm down, it is just a clever name. With the coffee, you also get a 2 eggs, 2pcs of bacon, hasbrowns and toast. Not a bad deal, especially in Mission
