At The Perked Pierogi, you’ll discover a menu bursting with flavors that pay homage to traditional cuisine while also introducing a contemporary flair. The star of the show here is, of course, the pierogi—a beloved Eastern European dumpling filled with various delicious ingredients. Sink your teeth into the dill pickle pierogi, perfectly smothered in sautéed onions and crispy bacon, served alongside a dollop of sour cream that adds just the right amount of tang. Each bite is a soulful journey that evokes cherished memories of grandma’s kitchen, as echoed by longtime food enthusiasts like Bill Dandie, who says, “Once I discovered Grand Valley had a newly opened Pierogi Emporium, I was that excited child again!”

If you’re not in the mood for pierogi, fear not! The cafe also offers a range of delectable breakfast options, including the savory breakfast sandwich and delightful egg bites. Pair your meal with their renowned coffee, and perhaps experience one of the amazing lattes that make this place a standout, as shared by satisfied customers like Katie Cheesmond who raved about the atmosphere created by their lovely staff, particularly in “bringing a smile to our face on a grey day.”

The dining atmosphere is incredibly inviting; it’s cozy and creative, adorned with local art that adds a touch of charm. Many regulars mention how the staff quickly become friends, knowing them by name and treating them like family. Derek Lackenbauer highlights this sentiment beautifully, noting just how the lovely ladies behind the counter make every visit feel like coming home.

The Perked Pierogi is more than a cafe; it’s a community hub where everyone is welcomed with open arms. There’s even a thoughtful “pass it forward” wall for those who might need a little extra kindness. This spirit of generosity truly sets this cafe apart—a perfect spot for anyone looking to enjoy delicious food while supporting a local business.

If you find yourself in Grand Valley, make sure to stop by The Perked Pierogi.

These ladies are killing it! Food is fantastic with a wonderful home made flavor and flair that keeps you coming back. And for most of their customers, they know you by name and are treated like family.

An amazing stop… before a celebration of life! Meg is incredible, she brought a smile to our face on a grey day, not to mention an incredible latte and the best egg salad sandwich (don’t tell me mom). Her art that adorns the walls is next level (no pictures out of respect). A subtle pass it forward wall for a drink and snack on difficult days, or the ones you forget your wallet. A comfortable, calm space, with the best energy! We will be making a drive just to visit.

I've driven past this little gem in Grand Valley so many times and it was never the right time to stop...well today was the day, and it was well worth the wait. We had the dill pickle perogies smothered with onions and bacon, and a side of sour cream. While we got them for the road, we still enjoyed the friendly and cozy atmosphere while our order was cooked up. We will definitely be stopping again when we pass through Grand Valley!

I've been a worshiper of pierogies or their Ukrainian counterparts, pedaheh for close to 50 years now. My grandmother would have our family over for Sunday dinner and I'd dive into a mound of these delicious, potato dumplings! Once I discovered Grand Valley had a newly opened Pierogi Emporium I was that excited child again! Stephany, Meghan along with The Perked Pierogi provide a very authentic, delicious and mouth wateringly satisfying pierogi experience that I highly recommend putting on the top of your "We gotta eat here list"! Well done ladies and thank you!

I recommend the pierogi in this place. In my country (Poland), pierogi are very popular and well-liked. In "The Perked Pierogi" they serve pierogi that are just as tasty! Very friendly service, dishes prepared right there - this makes it a great place for a hot snack and more...
