    First things first: brunch on Thursday! Im a huge fan of getting the weekend started early. My spinach scramble came out hot and perfectly prepared, fluffy eggs, robust portions and served up with an adequate house coffee. Speaking of serving, I counted no fewer than five people on the floor, waiting on maybe three tables of customers. 'Course, there were also a couple of outside tables, but almost every one of the well-trained servers checked on us during the meal. If I sound blown away, it's probably cause I'm used to an indifferent, distant or just understaffed restaurant experience in Portland. No eye-rolls here. The layout is low -key but clearly a fancier, more cafe-style spot than your average diner. You got two proper bar areas with modern updated finishes (the only one was being used) and the bathrooms are modern and clean; In fact, I think this place changes over to a steakhouse --- or at least it shares part of the space with the next-door 221 restaurant-- in late afternoon, which makes sense. From what I can tell, this place is only open mornings into early afternoon. The menu we were given had the usual breakfast staples; omelettes, Benedict's and crepes, with mimosas and Bloodys also available. Not gonna lie; good, freshly prepped food, super attentive service and reasonable prices win me over every time.

    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

    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.
