Perc

Perc has two Atlanta locations—one in the Highlands and one in East Lake. At the Highlands location, natural light bounces off of their pastel green, blue, and pink surfaces. It feels like a small-town coffee shop as you approach the curved counter. Yet, signature drinks, like My Morning Jacket (a latte with vanilla, black walnut bitters, and spices) feel a bit more city slickish. Those aren't the only tempting flavors on the menu—Perc also has waffles that are basically desserts, like their Waffogato, a half waffle with vanilla ice cream and a shot of mild espresso. We always try to snag the table by the window for excellent views of the main strip.
