The owner and staff were amazing. He was very friendly and knew we were not from the area *my cousin and i are here for my bestfriends wedding* he gave us a free esspresso and it was amazing. The food was hot and delicous. However. I did get sick(cross contamination). I would go back again and order something that isnt cooked, like a salad or smoothie. The place is enjoyable and very good atmosphere.

Great little coffee and sandwich shop with many breakfast and lunch options. I had a delicious latte and fluffy gluten free pancakes. The owner, G, was wonderful and took time to explain that most of the sandwiches could be done gluten free. I ordered the pancakes and bacon. You are able to watch them prepare your food because of the open grill area. I had a delicious meal with my friend and did not get sick. Definitely will be a regular stop.

I was in DE for a trip and decided to give this place a try for breakfast and it did not disappoint! I was able to get GF pancakes, GF toast and eggs, coffee! They are a small local coffee shop but take the time to clean everything down, changes gloved and make sure your food is safe. They do not have a GF toaster, but they cook GF bread on a cleaned off grill where they only cook your GF food at the time they are making it. The pancakes were to die for, I never get those out and I just can't get them right at home. They aced it they were light, fluffy and made me double guess the GF of it but they assured me and they were right I am now hours after eating and no gluten response. I have Celiac and I will stop back at this shop anytime I am in area!

Perfect Cup is the definition of a local coffee shop, where the owners remember you!  They go above and beyond to make each customer happy!  They cater to food allergies.  My daughter has Celiac and there are NO other local food establishments that are willing to cook her a safe gluten free meal, except for Perfect Cup. The gluten free pancakes are absolutely delicious!  They don't taste gluten free!! They spoil my children so well!  I have never had a better Blondie coffee and omelette!!! I highly recommend this restaurant!  Good food and amazing kind generous owners!!

Great gluten free pancakes - fluffy and delicious! The took good care without celiac daughter. Rest of the family loved their food - we ate breakfast there and everything was fresh, well-prepared and delicious! If we were locals, this would be our “go to” place!

The food was really good. The hash browns were amazing and it's so great to be able to get pancakes and waffles outside of home. We will definitely come back.

They can make their entire menu gluten free including.pancakes and waffles. They frequently have gluten free soups. Let them know when you order if you are Celiac or what your allergies are. They offer grilled tomatoes on lieu of toast for their breakfast platters.

I was a little underwhelmed by the order-at-the-counter service. It was noisy and the chairs were very uncomfortable. But, in all fairness - my visit was about a year ago - maybe it's better now. I just wasn't impressed enough that I felt the need to return.

Options are brownies, French toast, and pancakes. People there are really good about cross contamination- they steam clean the stove and all. A small quaint little place. Food was ok. Would go again.

Offers GF bread substitutions for sandwiches. Bread is from another great local GF bakery. My son enjoyed the GF pancakes and husband loved his GF sandwich. We felt well taken care of. Kitchen was informed of GF order and I heard them announce changing of gloves before preparing our food. Nice cafe option!
