Perc Place

A party of 6 of us visited Perc Place in Hartford for lunch. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of food, given the fact that this is a coffee shop. I had the Reuben sandwich and I really enjoyed it. The others in my party also appeared to have enjoyed their food. No one complained about anything which, for our group, was a positive thing.
What stood out to me was our server Victoria. She started out with a smile on her face and ended the same way too. She was extremely pleasant and polite and constantly returned to our table to check on us. I wanted to write this review in the hopes that the owners read it and know how pleased we were with our service.

Perc Place is a shining beacon of light in sleepy, dreary, little downtown Hartford. After years of hearing my great cousin, grandmother, and mother talk about Perc Place like it’s Disney Land, I finally had to try it myself.
My father and I popped in for a late lunch on a Thursday. I was immediately surprised at how busy it was. Not surprisingly, it was filled with retirees. Nonetheless, the place was buzzing.
We ordered a mocha, side salad, and a Black Forest sandwich to split. Our waitress was very charming and made us feel welcome. Our mocha came very quickly and the food followed not long after. The sandwich was HUGE and did not lack flavor or ingredients. The side salad was also a very generous portion. The prices were great for a lovely lunch (maybe I’ve been living in NorCal too long?!)
The atmosphere is unique, artsy, and eclectic. There are decorative knickknacks for sale throughout the location– the dining room almost doubles as a boutique.
I took a side trip to check out the coffee counter. There are great options for folks that are interested in a take-​and-​go cup of coffee or a snack like a traditional coffee shop. Of course, the abundance of seating lounging opportunities encourages folks to stay for awhile.
I may not be a fan of downtown Hartford, but Perc Place is truly a place I can appreciate!
