Top tier artisan ice cream with modern flavors in the middle of copper country? Not something I…read morewould expect, but The Copper Scoop is there to meet the challenge, churning out homemade ice cream right from the machines in the back of the shop. We arrived on a weekday evening, and although it wasn't particularly hot out, the shop was doing brisk business with customers moving in and out at a steady pace. The interior of the shop looks a bit sparse - only two tables and a non-functional freezer sit in the rather large customer area. When I first walked in, I thought the place had perhaps just opened but I was surprised to learn that they've actually been in business for a year. It's a good thing that the spartan ambiance has nothing to do with the quality of the ice cream! The Copper Scoop offer sorbets if you don't want dairy and also nut free and gluten free ice creams. Very forward thinking to appeal to a larger crowd. The only drinks available are Olipop or water, but it looks like they're working to expand their offerings. They also seem to have seasonal and rotating flavors, which makes it more enticing to visit again and again. Medium (2 Scoops), Cup ($5.5) - We tried a couple of samples before we settled on two flavors in this dish: Caramel Butter Pecan on the top and London Fog on the bottom. The caramel butter pecan is amazing. I am not exaggerating - so creamy, so rich, low overrun with no ice crystals whatsoever. It's thick and dense, staying together so well that my first scoop with my spoon accidentally flipped some of the ice cream onto the table. The caramel flavor is exceptionally rich and there's a distinct flavor and feel of butter on the tongue as it melts. There are pieces and halves of pecans mixed in that are toasted, adding a very nice nutty toasted element to the dish. This is easily in the top 10% of ice cream I've had (5/5). The London Fog is a slight step down, but it's still near a top tier ice cream. The ice cream is so fragrant that the strong citrusy spiced flavor of Earl Grey comes out just from the part of the Caramel Butter Pecan that graced the surface of the London Fog. I feel like they don't just steep Earl Grey tea leaves in the cream but instead they add additional bergamot essence, enhancing the overall strength of the flavor For some reason, this ice cream is not quite as dense as the former and it definitely feels like it has a bit more air mixed in (5/5). Both flavors are perfectly sweet - not super sweet so that the flavors really shine. Note: The flavors are quite strong. If you prefer some cream taste in your ice cream, you will be disappointed. The Cooper Scoop has some excellent ice cream and I would visit again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended if you're in the area. Bathrooms - One unisex individual room in the back. Overall rating of the food this visit: 5/5

The stuff here are things that are actually "authentic" Michigan- think yooperlite and socks made from local sheep, as opposed to a T shirt that says "Michigan" that was made overseas. Half of the store is dedicated to food that the owner made himself. There's a small bakery, but the main draw for me is the jellies, jams, and syrups. They're made from local fruits that the owner either grew and picked himself or sourced locally. Don't miss out on the thimbleberry jam, which is a UP specialty. There's also jams made from wild hops, Russian Ash, dewberry, and more which I haven't even heard the names of. The owner can help describe the flavor profiles. Do note there's a ~4% surcharge for cards, so bring cash.

It seems to me they run this place more because its a way to earn a living in a rather remote town, rather than something they have a real passion or gift for.

The Jampot was on my UP bucket list of places to visit and that came true today!…read more The Jampot is a bakery run by a community of Byzantine Catholic monks, known as the Society of Saint John. They are famous for their homemade jams, jellies, baked goods, and fruitcakes, which are sold under the name "Poorrock Abbey". The Jampot started in 1986 as a way for the monks to support their monastery, Holy Transfiguration Skete. Fun fact... the individuals that started the monastery had a black Great Dane. After a short wait, we were able to purchase a handful of goodies. Thimbleberry jelly is out of stock until late July but lots of other options were available. For jellies, I picked up a jar of rosehips jelly and sugarless wild blueberry jelly. For snacks, we purchased a carrot cake muffin, chocolate chip muffin, cinnamon sourdough bread, and a cream cheese muffin which was warm out of the oven. We purchased a couple of drinks too - cold pressed blueberry juice and cold brew illy coffee. The cream cheese muffin was my favorite! It was a combination of pound cake and cream cheese with hints of pineapple. How can you go wrong? Plus it was warm! The best! I really enjoyed the carrot cake too. It was full of nuts, raisins, and carrots. Very hearty, just the way I like carrot cake. There is parking, picnic tables, and a dog run on site. No bathrooms. Closed restrooms are 1.6 miles away. The monks were so friendly! Great place to stop in you're in the Cooper Harbor area. Just check the hours to make sure they are open.
