Dave has reopened between 11th and 12th on Oak. Under the parking garage and under a different name this time. Place seems a lot more… well just a lot more. A search on case net shows a lot of people after this guy so I don’t know how long he’ll last.

did they finally close the one @ 7th & broadway? last couple of times i’ve driven by the lights were shut off and blinds pulled. that’s a perfect location for a coffee shop but i wish dave would hurry up and get the heck out of there so someone with some staying power could give it a shot. i will not go back in there until he’s gone for good.

Dave didn’t even last a year at the 2nd downtown location. He is now on Broadway and I hear all of his vendors are still trying to collect from him. PAY YOUR BILLS DAVE!!! AND PAY THE HELP! And ask to see his health inspection before eating his food. He is one nasty man. He will scratch his…and then serve your food with that same hand.

You know, I LOVE when the owners of the business (dave) come to defend themselves because they get such low marks. I also will enjoy watching this guy crumble as he thinks he has the staying ability of Starbucks (and we all see how THAT is going..) to open a mere two blocks from his first downtown location. I give it a year… give or take a couple months.

I really wanted to support this place downtown because of their late hours. I became a quick regular, making it a point to go after 9 pm, sometimes staying until they closed at 11. Truth be told, I don’t go anymore and probably won’t. Three times, the drip coffee has been ICE cold. Once, my mocha had curdled milk that was chunky and chewy. And EVERY time I’ve been there, the man owner has been gabbing away on his damned Blue-tooth. I go up to the counter, order, and then he asks about the game Saturday, so I start to answer, low and behold he’s not even talking to me. VERY annoying, and I won’t return.

I did however enjoy the sandwiches and baked goods.

Too bad, they were about the only place in downtown with later hours for coffee.

Editor’s Note: This comment has been dramatically edited for politeness and spelling. Its content and message remain in tact.

You must not be talking about the same spot! it is some of the best coffee and service we’ve gotten at any coffee shop. Besides, we really don’t think of them as a coffee shop, as they do much more then that. Either you had a bad day that day, or its really not the coffee scene that you expected; they don’t fit the typical coffee house scene at all. Their coffee is very good. I have met both of the owners and I have never found a harder working pair that pays so close attention to details and to quality. Sorry you had a bad day.

I believe there is another Perk Up at Quivira and College in JoCo. Not sure if that one’s any better…
