Central Perc is in a wonderful location on Far Hills Avenue in Oakwood, tucked between other quiet storefronts. It makes a wonderful setting for a charming, little cafe. The menu is simple, but tasty. The food is pretty average and basic: ham, turkey, egg salad,...and tuna sandwiches. However, a few of the sandwich combinations are fascinating! Two of my friends both ordered combos that included egg salad, meat, and other assorted stuff that you wouldn't think would go together, all between two slices of French bread. They both said it was delicious. My turkey sandwich had chutney and slices of crisp apple on it, and it was tasty. They were also serving borscht on that particular afternoon, which I have on good authority was quite delicious. There is a rather standard breakfast menu, and, of course, what British cafe would be complete without scones? We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch here, and we'll definitely be back. I can't wait to check out their high tea!
Next time, I will remember that they ONLY ACCEPT cash or check. NO credit cards! The $10 in my wallet almost covered my whole meal and coffee (it's a very affordable place), but not quite. Fortunately, my friends had their checkbook with them.More
