Cafe Perks - Eggs Benedict - American Near Me - Longwood, Florida

Cafe Perks offers a solid breakfast, served by nice people for a great price! I was having my car windows tinted around the corner at Precision Window Tinting and needed a place to wait for 45 minutes. I spotted Cafe Perks in a run down strip mall, but despite the exterior, it seemed quite inviting. The crowded dining room reinforced my interest all the more, so I ventured in. What Cafe Perks lacks in elegance, it makes up for with charm and no-frills comfort. It reminds me of places I would visit 50+ years ago with my Dad after we went golfing in Northeastern Massachusetts or Southern New Hampshire. You went because you were hungry, wanted a good meal and staple foods. Cafe Perks delivers on those needs! My Dad might have called Cafe Perks a "greasy spoon" but one of the revelations about Cafe Perks is that my breakfast of scrambled eggs, hash browns and rye toast was not greasy at all. Yes, there were fats, but nothing too extreme (although the butter on my toast might have been a bit more than I would have used had I been buttering the otherwise tasty rye). Cafe Perks was clean and the price was great, at less than $10 for my breakfast (before tip). read more

What a wonderful experience! At the moment we entered the doors, we were welcomed by both staff and even patrons with tremendous enthusiasm and hospitality treating us like family. We had the special Irish Benedict and home fries with ample amount of Hollandaise sauce. Also shared hubby's cinnamon roll pancake which was divine. Our waitress was fantastic and personable. Please try their homemade hot sauce as it is great. This cafe is a jewel not expected to be found. The ambiance was amazing with 70s classic music. read more

Good service, but nothing else good to say. The place is old as can be and very dingy. All the food tastes like it comes from cans. The potato soup had one piece of potato and clumps of flour in it. The grilled cheese was barely cooked with plain white wonder bread and square plastic cheese. Nothing like the diners up north for sure! read more

Food was good. Staff and customer service was above and beyond. We had the opportunity to meet all of the cooks and serve. Lisa we will be coming back. You made our experience very enjoyable. read more

My favorite local breakfast spot. It feels like going to spend time with family. The service is warm and friendly. There are so many delicious choices for breakfast and lunch. The prices are reasonable enough that you can go regularly. I've been about 5 different times in the past 2 years and there is always the same friendly ladies working. read more

Typical diner fare that you'd expect from a restaurant in a strip mall. We drive by it daily, and decided to try it. Our waitress super nice and very attentive, she came by with water quickly. The coffee was piping hot and she came by and refilled it several times. We ended up switching tables after arriving, as a beetle was on the table and it freaked me out lol. Once we got out food, it was pretty good. They up charge for cheese and even though we stated "scrambled with American", it was just a slice on top. I hate that. The home fries were so delicious, the pancakes were the best we've had, and the bacon was crispy and salty (a preference lol). We will probably be back, but it's not really on the very top of our list lol read more

Y'all know I love my diners! I've been here before but under two other names. This one is my favorite! I was greeted with a sit wherever you are comfortable! I chose the 1/4 lb cheeseburger with everything! It was so good!!!!!ill. It came with delicious fries and slaw. I myself like a creamy slaw so didn't really care for the slaw but the tasty fries more than mad up for it! Can't wait to go back! read more

This place is so hidden yet it's Amazing! All the servers are friendly in a Southern Hospitality type of way. I love it. My server suggested I order the Corn-beef hash Omelet that isn't on the menu. This omelet is stuffed full of the best corn beef hash. They flavor is amazing. Just like how they take care of their read more

Cafe Perks - Corn Beef Hash omelette. Not on the menu but suggested by my server so damn good! - American Near Me - Longwood, Florida

Typical diner experience in a run down plaza. Our server was very aggressive at first and you could tell she was having a bad day. She made us feel very rushed. She became nicer as the meal went on, but it was still a turn off. The place was empty, but she told us it would take a while to cook our food. No big deal. My chicken fried steak was decent, but the fries, green beans and salad were nothing to rave about. My boyfriend got the chicken pita. I had a bite and it was really good. My friend also enjoyed her meal. After we left our waitress came running outside with a cell phone, but it didn't end up being ours. That was very nice of her. Just a place I wouldn't think of coming back to. read more

I can't say enough good things about the fish. I have had a couple of meals here. I had the burger, which was good, and it is funny that people wait in line for a burger that is not as good in the Wendy's in the same strip mall. Sally recommended the fish, even though it was lunch. It was surprisingly good. Delicate flavor, not fishy. It was so lightly breaded it took me awhile to realize it had any breading at all. She said lots of the regulars get it with breakfast. I don't normally get fish. I did not see it on the menu, so it must be limited quantities. If your waitress suggests it, get it. It is a single fillet, so you may want another entree. They had real hash browns. Eggs sunny side up cooked just right. I had rye and pumpernickel toast. It was always busy but the service was fast. I took a cinnamon pancake back to my boy, who loved it. It was caramelized on the griddle. Prices on the menu are quite reasonable. Proper diner decor with pics of the regulars on the wall. I have to mention the fish fillet again. Get it if they have it. read more

Cafe Perks - Caramelized cinnamon pancake to go. - American Near Me - Longwood, Florida

Let's start by saying I ordered my meal by phone 15 min early. I get there 20 min and nothing is ready. I wait another 10 min, Just for biscuits and gravy. then I finally get to work and eat. They cut up the biscuit's, WHY!!! Now everything is soggy. The gravy was as thick as mashed potatoes. Had to throw it away because it uneatable. Gross meal never going back. Now I'm sick throwing up. read more

So glad I came back. Service was back to being on point. Food was always delicious and still is. I saw some new servers so that might be the change this place needed. Super stoked to have my fave local spot back! Woot! read more

Once you get past the well used booths you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the friendly service and well prepared country cooking. I decided to go with the country ham with my eggs, bacon, and grits. Great choice! It was perfectly salty and nicely prepared. This will be on my rotation of weekend breakfast stops! read more

I am so happy I came here. I had waken up all gloomy and therefore cranky; the rainy day didn't help neither. So, I decided to take a drive and 15 min away I found this Friendly, Excellent and very Experienced customer service Restaurant staff. The food was tasty, flavorful, well cooked and served. The attention to detail of the waitress was splendid. She even asked my name and made it so welcoming. I LOVED THIS PLACE! Definitely coming back, even if is a little farther from me to continue breakfast and to try the lunch menu. Thank you for changing my day to the better. read more

I just recently moved to Longwood and was on the hunt to find a quick and reasonably priced go-to spot for breakfast. After a few failed attempts I finally made it into Cafe Perks!! Man I wish I made it here earlier. The portions are huge and everything was perfectly cooked. I was seated very quickly and the server greeted me within just a minute of sitting. Can't wait to go back! I had the Super Bowl which was later upon layer of yummy goodness. Potatoes, corned beef, biscuits, gravy, eggs.... my mouth is watering thinking about it! read more

Cafe Perks - Eggs Benedict - American Near Me - Longwood, Florida

Tried this place for the first time this weekend. While it wasn't bad, I can't really say it was great either. When we walked in we were told to sit where ever we wanted. That's normally not an issue, but it was pretty busy and we had never been there before, so we kind of stood there for a second wondering where to go. Obviously, this is only an issue for a first timer. We sat at the one place I could clearly see was open, which was right next to the front door. That was a bad choice, as it was hot as hell in that spot. The service was fine. We didn't have to wait long for drinks or anything. No complaints here. The food was fine I guess. It was probably on par with something I could have easily made at home. That's the issue with breakfast... everyone's making the same stuff, so yours better stand out. There was nothing that stood out with this food. I ordered the "2-2-2-2" with french toast. The sausage was pretty bland and the bacon as a bit over cooked. The eggs and french toast were ok. Nothing really noteworthy. It's not so much that this place is bad or that there's something wrong with it... it's just not as good or any better than the 15 other breakfast joints that are within 2 miles of it. I can think of 4 or 5 places I would rather go to that are within a 5 minute drive from here. read more

Cafe Perks - 2-2-2-2 with French Toast. - American Near Me - Longwood, Florida

Cafe Perks is what I would consider to be a perfectly serviceable diner. Is Guy Fieri going to be showing up on their doorstep? No. But neither will you leave here feeling dissatisfied. The service was friendly and attentive. The restaurant was clean and the food was basic diner fare at a reasonable price. It was obvious that they have already cultivated a crowd of regulars at this most recently opened location. It was nice to hear servers addressing them by name. If you are passing by and wonder if you should stop in for bite, I have no reason to dissuade you. read more

My husband and I found this little cafe after moving to Longwood two years ago. We go once a week now and we're so glad we came across this place. There are so many breakfast spots to choose from in the area, and granted, some are bigger on atmosphere but this one has a reasonably priced menu; ample servings that are cooked just right; fast and friendly service. And you can't beat the home fries. We always peruse the lunch menu which also looks good, and say we need to try lunch sometime, but always seem to return for breakfast. If you're looking for a diner-type meal, this is the place. read more

We love coming here for breakfast. They moved off of 17/92. Love the new space. We've come the last 3 Sundays in a row!! Staff is nice & they make a great omelette read more

This is by far my favorite breakfast place in the area... it's cheaper than McDonalds and better than Dunkin' Donuts! They have a breakfast special for $3.99 3 eggs, potatoes, and toast. Jessica, Debbie and all the other servers are amazing, and you can be in and out most days in less than 45 minutes! read more

This place wasn't that great. I highly doubt we will be back again. The service was incredibly slow and the food was just "ok." The restaurant looked like a hurricane had just come through, our waitress was polite but incredibly forgetful and slow. It seemed like she was in the weeds but there were tons of staff members working the floor. The waitresses couldn't have had more than a few tables each. We sat at a dirty table (which they sent us to) for at least 10 minutes before someone came by. The other tables around us were getting beverages and menus within moments of being seated. If the food was better we'd probably try it again in hopes of getting a different waitress but it was pretty bland. It also tasted like it had been sitting in the window for a bit before they brought it out. There are plenty of other breakfast joints in the area that serve similar dishes that have more flavor and are fresh. It's unlikely that I will stop by here again. read more

One word....cinnamonbunpancake!! And the cornbeef hash are my go to Never had a bad experience in our favorite hole in the wall diner. Always end up here atleast once when we have guests stay with us. read more

Tried this little hole in the wall since our other local joint has had an ownership change and has not been the same since. The staff was extremely friendly and you could tell the regulars knew the staff well. A couple walked in and the lady at the register called out their drink order to the back. We orderd one item off the specials (cinnamon almond french toast)and one staple breakfast (2 eggs with corned beef hash). Botg were great! The french toast was really delicious and the corned beef was nice and crispy on the outside which is exactly how I like it. Great prices as well, we will come again. read more

We've been hearing good things about Cafe perks, for quite a while now. We finally got around to giving it a chance for breakfast, and I can safely say, that I was extremely impressed.

I have no idea how this place has 4 stars; I couldn't wait to get out of here. Service was slow, food was hot but gross. The bacon was even tasteless as if the grease hadn't been changed ever. French toast was gray and tiny. The place's decor reminded me of a truck stop with zero decor. read more
