Iconic San Diego Highway-Side Diner Perry's Cafe Closing Its Doors After Nearly 40 Years In Business

Perry's Cafe has been serving the community near the junction of Interstates 5 and 8 in San Diego's Loma Portal/Old Town area since its inception in 1985. Founded by Greek immigrants Constantine "Costas" and Margaret Georgakopoulos, the cafe quickly established itself as a beloved destination for locals and tourists alike looking for classic American diner fare, generous portions, and friendly service. The cafe's iconic retro decor, featuring leather booths, a diner counter bar and nostalgic memorabilia, creates an ambiance that harkens back to a bygone era.
