A disclaimer up front: My friends, John and Cynthia own the Perc Place in Hartford. I have considered a Blog about this great coffee shop PLUS for many months but have deferred doing so because of my friendship. John is now in the final stages of his battle with cancer and it is time for this Blog.
The Perc Place is on Main Street in Hartford, 47 North Main to be exact. Given the work on Hwy 60, the route to Main Street is a bit complicated, but the trip is well worthwhile. I’m sure they’d be happy to tell you the best way to find them if you call them (262-670-6950).
The Perc Place serves breakfast and lunch items that are not your usual fare. They serve Alterra coffee and all the rest of the items you’d associate with a place using Perc in its name. There are none of those “barista” people, just customer-conscious folks who’ll probably remember you the next time you’re in.
The food is delicious including great sandwiches and salads; the deserts are wonderfully rich and tasty and the atmosphere is unique. There is occasional entertainment booked for evenings and they’re open seven days a week. And a bonus: if you use the restroom, you can read the walls while you’re otherwise occupied.
Check it out when you’re next in Hartford…or just make the Perc Place your reason for going to Hartford. I think you’ll like it. And, by the way...stop in a few doors south at Stacia's for a really great selection of different home decor and gift items. That shop is located at 37 North Main.
