Perk Up Kitchen

After taking a walk around the mall, wanted to find someplace new for breakfast. Again, a Yelp search did me good! This space is so adorable. Open and bright, I can imagine it's even nicer when it's not negative infinity outside. Our server was so friendly and helpful as well.Our breakfast was fantastic. I got the Perkarito (breakfast burrito) and was able to substitute the meat for turkey sausage. The fact that they serve non-pork breakfast meat here is a huge plus. The burrito was a little messy, but so yummy. The pineapple jalapeño pico was just delicious. Hubs had the lemon ricotta pancakes and, I'll admit, I had some food jealousy going on. Had I been in the mood for something sweet, I would have probably stolen his food. I did steal a bite, though, and those were OMG good. And they are plate-sized and you get 3! I did have my eye on the cinnamon rolls as well, but my belly was just too full.Looked at the lunch menu as well and will definitely make a return trip to try those offerings as well!

This is such a cute gem in Bloomington! We love the relaxed atmosphere, darling decor, good food and great service.My friends and I were able to get seated right away for a Sunday lunch. We enjoyed Bloody Marys, cocktail drinks and yummy brunch and lunch food! We'll definitely be back!

So happy to have such a cute new breakfast spot in the neighborhood! I had been dying to try this new spot since it opened so a friend and I'd decided to visit for a quick brunch. Did you know this used to be a brueggers bagels? With this beautiful revamp, you would never know!! I love the open concept with the open kitchen, the clean white look is always very sleek, and the wood accents are a very nice touch.We chose to sit bar side, and service was wonderful! Both of the women that waited on us were very kind and conversational. Both were very knowledgeable on the menu, drinks, and their pastries.Whenever I go to brunch I have to have an espresso martini. Out of the martinis I have had in the past I would give this one a 3/5. The flavor wasn't bad but the drink kept separating and there was quite a bit of ice in it as well. I also tried their Carmel Apple martini which was delicious! Tasted like a sweet boozy Carmel Apple juice.To start our meal the bartender suggested we try a cinnamon roll. I know it's hard to make a cinnamon roll special, however this one was one of the best I've ever had! She warmed it up nicely and it absolutely melted in your mouth. It was fluffy flavorful and plenty of icing. it also was easily large enough for us two to share.For our main meal we split the breakfast poutine. With this meal you have the option to choose gravy or bearnaise as your sauce. We opted for a traditional gravy poutine. We also requested to do over easy eggs instead of scrambled. This meal was also delicious! I love a good savory breakfast, and even though I'm not often a poutine fan, the mix of sausage, eggs, fries, and gravy, was a huge hit!Overall I think this is a fantastic addition to the neighborhood and can't wait to try move from them!

We met a friend here for Saturday morning brunch, and there was about a 20 minute wait. It ended up being over 40 minutes, and my 1 year old stayed patient enough so we could thankfully still try it. It was worth the long wait. Great fresh coffee, friendly service, super cute atmosphere, and an amazing breakfast! A little more over the normal breakfast budget in my opinion, but it was a nice treat for us. My hubby enjoyed the chicken and cornbread waffle combo and I loved my pesto breakfast sandwich. The kids meal options were perfect for my son as well. My friend had ordered the biscuits and gravy which she said was also really good. If you are in the area then I'd highly recommend this spot. They also have a nice lunch menu, and during the weekdays free coffee.

The chicken salad sandwich was unique and tasty. I really appreciated the GF bread.I want to come back to try the GF pancakes.Breakfast is served all day. They have alcohol and mocktails.Very cute place, but smaller so better for small groups. They have a large parking lot.Service was quick and friendly. They gave a QR code so you can pay when ready.

We really enjoyed our late brunch at Perk Up Kitchen! The decor was beautiful! Very much like a modern kitchen throughout. Our wait staff was extremely friendly and helpful throughout our time as well. We started with a mimosa flight, which was a fun way to begin our meal. When we come here again, we'll go straight for the Blood Orange Mimosa - so good! We split the Caprese Sandwich and Strawberry Cornbread Waffle. The Caprese Sandwich with fries was delicious!! I could eat it every day and not get tired of it. The Strawberry Cornbread Waffle... not so much. It tasted like a normal waffle with strawberries. I have nothing against a waffle, but the strawberry compote tasted exactly like skittles. Not something I wanted with my waffle... We'll definitely be back to Perk Up Kitchen, but we'll probably stick with the savory items going forward.

The food was delicious!! I had the avocado toast with a side of bacon. The maple vinaigrette on the salad was extremely tasty. I usually don't like arugula, but the dressing made it scrumptious. The service was phenomenal and the owners are super nice. The blood orange margarita was tart and a great way to round out brunch. Took one of their popovers home, too! Call ahead to get on the list! (Trust me!)

Such a cute meet up spot to go with friends! Two of us got the breakfast sandwich and one of us had the bruschetta. We all enjoyed the cinnamon roll which was large and very good. The iced coffee was alright, wish there were dairy free milk choices to add in. Our server was great as was the management.

Every time I drove by Perk Up Kitchen, it looked busy, so I was really excited to try it. It did not disappoint! Cute interior, great service, and a tasty meal. The Breakfast Skillet was delicious! Coffee was $5 including refills and jam was extra - worth it to have with the buttery toast. There was a line of people waiting for a table when we left, so this spot is worth visiting early!

Adorable spot, and amazing food and service! I LOVE that they have outdoor seating. I've been wanting an outdoor breakfast spot in this area for a minute and they pulled through. I got their classic breakfast, and it was delish! Their drip coffee is also lovely. I'll definitely be coming back! I love that it's so close to Hyland, makes it easy to stop by after a workout or ski!
