    The food was really good. Server was so sweet and i got her rec and it didn't disappoint! You have the option of sitting outside or inside. Nice menu options and reasonably priced for the portion sizes.

    Eggs benedict

    I tried the eggs benedict, biscuits and gravy, and a small orange juice. The food was mostly good but I did not like the hollandaise. It was very lemony and there was just a tiny amount. It was too lemony to have any more than what was on it, but the best thing about eggs benedict is the sauce, so it needs a lot more of a different sauce. Service was friendly. I would try some other things here. I stopped in again for eggs casino and blueberry pancakes. I like that they have sugar-free syrup. The cheese sauce is better than the hollandaise but the egg was a bit undercooked and I would skip the tomato next time. Pancakes were good. I prefer the eggs benedict at Bistro and Oaks Eatery.

    Very very good brunch. Both meals were excellent, and service was very quick. Small place that fits a lot of people. Highly recommend as a decently affordable option for brunch in STJ.

    Got seated very quickly - the indoor and outdoor area is nice. Menu has a good variety of choices; just no alternate meat options. Got the food fast and was really good!

    Breakfast BLT
    Jessica P.

    We were a party of 5 and come for brunch Saturday morning around 10:30. The hostess told us it was an hour wait and to come back in an hour. This process seemed odd to me, what if it was less or the groups ahead of us didn't show up? We sat outside, there were quite a few bees but the umbrellas were nice and provided some shade. Our waitress was so friendly and gave great recommendations! We started with the "Fur-the- table" which was a bottle of champagne and it was served so cute. I had the breakfast BLT which was a generous portion and very good

    This Egg Florentine was on point!  7 more Benny options to try!

    The Copper Pot Breakfast Café is a fantastic breakfast spot in downtown St. Joseph, Michigan with elevated breakfast fare. We also like their outdoor seating. If there is a line, be patient...they are very efficient and it's worth it. One of the unique features of The Copper Pot is their coffee/espresso bar which also has alcohol options. As I sipped on an Espresso Martini, I was taken with its smoothness. The Barista explained that the smoothness and rich flavors come as a result of cold brewing espresso beans, resulting in a drink that is less acidic and bitter compared to traditional hot espresso. The three espresso beans floating on top symbolize health, wealth and happiness. I also noticed the cocktail menu read MIMOSA FUR-THE-TABLE - a carafe of OJ, a bottle of prosecco and miniature frozen OJ paws at the bottom of each glass. The owners contribute $5 to the Humane Society of Southwest Michigan for every Mimosa Fur-The-Table ordered. If you are an Eggs Benedict fan, The Copper Pot has eight "Benny's" to choose. We sampled the Eggs Florentine which had rustic, country toast as the base instead of a traditional English muffin. Piled high was sauteed spinach, avocado, sun-dried tomato, and poached eggs, bathed in a delightful scratch-made hollandaise sauce. The exquisitely balanced hollandaise presented slightly sweet undertones and the tangy acidity of the sundried tomatoes made this dish "pop." We watched as pancakes, French toast and waffles paraded from the kitchen to other tables, and all looked visually appealing. We split the Copper Pot Waffle, which was golden brown, crowned with lemon confit and served with house-made amaretto syrup. The delicate aroma of freshly cooked batter tantalized the senses, inviting anticipation with each bite. The waffle held a decadent, buttery taste complemented by subtle notes of vanilla, almond, and, of course, lemon. These flavors complemented the subtle sweetness of the cake but didn't overpower. You can add little bites of the lemon confit to boost the intensity. I could do another review on the house-made amaretto syrup. My wife is not much of a drinker, but she adored this syrup, which unquestionably elevates the waffle experience with its wow-factor. This is a 21+ dish. The Breakfast BLT is a massive sandwich consisting of jumbo slices of rustic bread enveloping two eggs, thick bacon, roasted tomato, arugula, and horseradish mayo. Initially uncertain about horseradish mayo on a breakfast sandwich, I found it to be pleasantly subtle yet undeniably superb. The bacon was on point...thick, meaty, salt and smoke balanced, and cooked to crispy perfection. Roasting the tomato and utilizing the peppery taste of arugula were brilliant culinary choices. This champion is served with The Copper Pot's famous Morning Potatoes. The cubed redskins were tender yet slightly firm in texture, with a golden-brown exterior that offers a satisfying crunch. Each bite revealed a velvety interior, infused with savory flavors from the seasoning.

    Classic eggs Benedict

    Want to start off by saying I don't mean any harm with this review and I hope the owners will grow from the feedback. I only want success for all of our downtown businesses! With that being said, the good...excellent customer service and love the location/ambiance. My rating is based on my food experience alone... I'm a Benny connoisseur so I was really excited to see such an extensive list of Bennys to choose from...I went with the classic. The ham and English muffin were great, nice thick slice of REAL ham...the egg didn't seem to be poached (as you can tell from the picture it's pretty "formed") and the white part was very runny/watery/undercooked...what should've been the star of the show, the hollandaise sauce, was straight up awful (I'm sorry)...best way to describe it is bitter and kinda spicy, it basically tasted like mustard and mayonnaise mixed together and it was THICCCC...like the consistency of pudding and custard mixed together (notice how in the picture the upside down fork has a glob of the hollandaise on it...stays there and doesn't fall off the fork). On the bright side, mi daughter had the crepes and while she didn't care for the whipped cream (it had a funny taste, we couldn't put our finger on it...thought maybe there was coconut in it? Didn't taste BAD, just a weird flavor profile). Other than that she loved them, the berry compote was very good. I'd definitely give this place another try, maybe it was an off day for whoever made the hollandaise? If/when I go back I'll ask for a sample of the sauce before ordering...if it tastes the same, I'll just order something else.

One time, I managed to leave my Fanny pack in the restroom and didn't realize until much later in the day.

I was pleasantly surprised by the Mediterranean grain bowl. The side baguette was also SUPER fresh! This location was quite busy - even Sunday close to closing - so maybe that helps too!

My favorite sandwich hasn't been on the menu in about five years, the broccoli cheddar tastes more like cream of broccoli, and the soda options have always been limited (as well as being on the expensive side to be honest). When I do come here I tend to just stick to the turkey sandwich with the tomato removed, which is honestly over priced for what it is, or the Asiago bagel with cream cheese. The bagel is one of the few things I've gotten from here since I was young and hasn't changed or been removed from the menu. My parents would often buy bagels from here when family came to visit and the Asiago bagel was always my favorite, but I have a different place I tend to go to for bagels, so I don't end up coming here for bagels often anymore. Overall, this location is a good one, but there are better places to get soup, a sandwich, or a bagel in town.

It's a lovely place for a restaurant and we've been able to find comfortable seating for a large group. We visited on Black Friday and had a nice experience! Our server was attentive and fast, drinks were handled very well with everyone getting different coffees, teas, etc. and we were all ordered with the food out within 15 minutes. One dish was delayed but the rest came out on time. The food is pretty standard for an American brunch spot- it's 4/5 stars when it comes to seasoning/quality in my opinion, and comes at a higher price point- but I think you're paying for the view which makes sense! The windows over the water are beautiful and the decor is cozy and comfortable. So all in all, this is a great choice of a spot for a date night or family meal. The menu has all of your standard brunch options- a Benedict, pancakes, several omelettes, a classic breakfast, a hash, etc. I ordered the garden omelette and it left a little to be desired- potatoes weren't all the way cooked/ sat in a lot of oil, eggs were well cooked but the veggies were cut in large chunks/on the more raw side. This is what I meant about being 4/5 stars. Large portion sizes though, and something for everyone on the menu. The pizzas and sandwiches always look really good! And there's an extensive drink menu as well as a holiday drink menu. I imagine this place would be amazing in the summer when Benton Harbor comes alive but it's charming in the colder months as well. We will keep coming back when we're in town visiting family!
