| - I've been living in the Coronado neighborhood for about 6 months. Perc Up was just getting started when I moved in. I liked the place and the food was good, but it lacked personality and sometimes took quite a while. I went there often when I moved in but hadn't been in a few months - So, I was up early on my day off yesterday and felt like getting off to a good start with some coffee and breakfast. I live right down the street, so I thought of Perc Up
The new owner, Jackie, greeted me as I walked up to the restaurant, and seeing my confusion at the dueling signage for Perc Up and Wy-Knot right next to each other, explained that Perc Up was no more, but reassured me that I was still in the right place if I was looking for some good breakfast. I believe she said she owns another restaurant in Pennsylvania, which gives me hope that this place will last, unlike its predecessors (RIP Drip, Toast, and now Perc Up). She's big on healthy, fresh ingredients and doing things the right way, which I love.
The coffee was great, the southwest breakfast burrito with bacon was awesome, and with her picture of her dog and warm personality made me smile. This is just the type of place I love going to - locally owned, cozy, and friendly. I'll certainly be hitting it up several times a month.
