Fabulous food, homey atmosphere, family business. Very friendly, and reasonable prices.

Excellent breakfast. Great prices. Fast service. Very personable people working there. Will go back next time we're in the area

They are doing a great job, they are committed, and they want to be the best in town. I see their efforts, before, during and after work hours. They are a real positive to the community. read more

Stopped through on our way to Denver. Great customer service. My husband loved the Huevos Ranchero! Very clean. Great comfort food.

Stopped in for a late lunch, Hannah and Larry were fantastic people. Double bacon cheeseburger came out super quick and was delicious, fries were crispy and delicious. One of the better small town cafe's I've been to! read more

La Junta-home to a major agricultural center of Colorado, small town atmosphere and the best local breakfast cafe anywhere in the state. From the moment you enter the narrow rectangle cafe, you are made to feel welcome by a friendly staff, honey is a key word in greeting customers.Great value in $4-7 breakfast items, great green chili, blueberry pancakes, steady coffee, a mix of farming, retired, local customers whom all know each other quite well. Copper Kitchen was also shown on the Food Network featured by Alton Brown (that food guy on Good Eats) for its counter with swivel chairs and old cafe style. Here, you take the bill to the cashier, the friendly owner rings you up and asks where you are from, and gives you suggestions on local activities (we went to explore the dino tracks in Picketwire Canyon) and he gave us a ton of printed information. Good food, local style service, great value, we ate here twice and enjoyed both breakfast meals-a must if you are in La Junta. Good Eats) read more

After reading the 5 star reviews I came to the Copper Kitchen on my travels across Colorado expecting something worth while. What I found was worse than disappointing. The only positives were friendly staff and clean atmosphere. The coffee was terrible and only non-dairy creamer available. My father's poached eggs were uncooked and slice of ham was pre-packaged, processed, cheap, fatty, and COLD. My omelette was not an omelette. It was eggs cooked on a flat top with uncooked, cold ingredients folded inside. This from a diner in the center of an agricultural town? Disgusting. read more

I was told this place was great but my experience was horrible. I ordered a hamburger, and asked fro no cheese. They bought me a small not great looking burger with cheese. I asked if they could get me hamburger without cheese. By the time all my friends were done eating they bought me the same hamburger with some of the cheese scraped off. I was actually very hungry and kind of irritated about this. The waitress did not make any effort to make this better. I had to go back to class and went hungry all afternoon. The other peoples food only looked okay to me. read more

My family is in La Junta for my husband's work. We've made the Copper Kitchen a Sunday morning tradition. The food is excellent and it literally makes it to the table in minutes! Its always busy but don't let that put you off. Its a very homey feel and after two times of being in there the staff know my family by our names. We went on Mother's Day and every mom that came in recieved a flower. Also every kid gets a quarter and a cup for the candy machine! Its really a hometown, everyone's welcome kind of place! read more

This is how you run a business!!! If you're in La Junta, don't pass this up. Excellent food and great service! One of the best salsa's I've had, nice and hot. read more

Jewel of La Junta! Even though it was almost a full house, our delicious breakfast was on the table in minutes. Our waitress was genuinely nice and made us feel right at home even though we were obvious out-of-towners. The gentleman that took our payment was absolutely delightful and even gave our son a quarter for the candy machine. We left this restaurant feeling wonderful and the staff left a smile on our face. read more

One of the best breakfast places I've ever been! Highly recommend it to anyone! They fill up your plate and the staff is wicked kind. I also just like the place and the environment. Always full of locals. You almost look pretty strange when you're not from around there, they all seem to notice. read more

Great place to meet the locals... Came in at 2am, with no one around, left at 11 with a full stomach, laughs and lots of hospitality! The food was really good, friendly service and the salsa is really good! read more

This place is amazing! My son and I were in town for a baseball tournament and needed a place to eat in between games. The staff could not be friendlier! Greeted as soon as we walked in and were catered to from the moment we walked in. We had a chicken fried steak sandwich and their version of a slopper. I also bought some green chili to take back home. Anytime we are near or going through La Junta we will definitely stop by! read more

Great breakfast joint right off of Highway 50. Excellent food and quick service. The Western omelette is one of the best I have had!

A favorite breakfast stop for my family. The green chile and breakfast menu in General is yummy. Great prices and the staff is so friendly. They're like family to us! Caroline and Kelly are two of the best waitresses you'll ever find. Caroline is always on top of refills and any needs or concerns and she will make sure you're taken care of so if you stop in, you'll be sure to know one of them. I love this place. read more

Stumbled into this place while driving through town and were delighted by our experience. Both staff and other diners were chatty and extremely friendly. Food was well-executed, simple, diner fare. Being travelers passing through were also happy that the food was very quick and we were able to be back on the road after 30-40 min. read more

Breakfast and green chili that is amazing. Lunch is ok but the breakfast is where it's at. Def a must stop and check out place if you passing threw la junta in the morning. It won't disappoint. read more

Local joint with very friendly staff. My veggie omelette was good but the pasteurized American cheese was not. Hashbrowns were crispy. Co-worker ordered a breakfast burrito and said it was good but the green Chile was a little bland. read more

You'll find no better place to eat that the copper Kitchen in La Junta fast friendly great food

I came through La Junta as part of a group of 16 Boy Scouts and adult leaders. We stayed overnight at the Koshare Indian Museum (great show!) I planned for us to eat breakfast at the Copper Kitchen versus the other options in La Junta which is fast food. Our group of 16 was seated immediately and serviced promptly. The service was good and they were nice enough to split our checks. I heard a lot of good things about the food from our group. I had the Huevos Rancheros with green chili and it was excellent. Several boys ordered cinnamon rolls and they were fantastic. My son ordered a side of corned beef hash and it was mediocre. Skip it if you are a hash fan. If we are in La Junta again we would definitely eat there again. read more

If you can stumble in to a place and it's packed with locals you know it's good! My family and I absolutely Love Larry and the gang at Copper Kitchen. My children, husband and myself are all greeted by name and when we leave my kids are always offered a cup and a quarter for the candy machine. This is a gem in La Junta and I urge you all to stop in and get a glimpse of the hospitality that La Junta has to offer. read more

We chose Copper Kitchen based on Yelp reviews, and we concur entirely with the other reviewers. We went for breakfast, which was beautifully cooked--neither too greasy nor too salty. The service is excellent and the staff were very friendly. This would be a good restaurant in any town. read more

A quaint little local diner. Lots of space, bright lighting, and attentive service. Overheard conversations about hauling hay and rodeoing...and everyone knew someone else. Bathroom needs a remodel but is serviceable. LOVE that coffee was just a dollar! read more

Great hometown restaurant. Wonderful service - probably the best we have had in a while. Food was great and came out quickly. Just passing through, but so glad we ate here instead of a fast food or franchise restaurant. read more

Go here to get hearty breakfast and a hometown American feeling! Food was always good here.

Fantastic home-style breakfast. Super friendly wait staff. Obviously a hometown favorite. A great stop.

Okay so the customer service was good here. But the food lacked any kind of excitement. And the owner didn't lie qhen he said nothing had flavor. So I would not recommend this cafe your better off buying a tv dinner at the local grocer. read more

Wonderful friendly staff and good food. The gentleman at the counter went around greeting everyone including myself (out of towner). Will definitely come back when in the area. read more

Traveled to La Junta with our daughter for her work and found this perfect cafe for breakfast, while waiting for her to finish. Breakfast was delicious with best pancakes we've had for a long time. Brought our daughter back for lunch and had turkey melts and husband had a Rueben. Sandwiches came promptly and were delicious. The staff was welcoming and friendly. read more

If you're on the road and you happen upon this friendly little town, you should stop in here at Copper Kitchen. The breakfasts are absolutely the best and the staff is so friendly and accommodating. If you like yummy and spicy ask for the house hot sauce for your eggs. read more

Excellent breakfast and service. I like my bacon crispy and it came out perfect! And fast! Carolyn was our server and she was fabulous! We'll come back next time we're in town! read more

Amazing diner in a small town. Everyone who worked there was especially nice and courteous. Our waitress Carol was so sweet to my family. We got huge portions at a VERY good price. My son loved his Eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns. My older two boys devoured their French toast and Chocolate Chip pancakes. I had a delicious Chicken fried steak/ eggs/ hash browns/ toast. My wife loved her Blueberry pancakes. After we were done, Carol asked each of my sons a history question that they each got and she gave them a quarter from her own tips for the gum machine or just to keep. My sons loved this great little diner so much they bought a T-Shirt that was sold promoting the Copper Kitchen. Yes, it was THAT GOOD. Very friendly atmosphere. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. read more
