"Enjoyed Sunday brunch on the patio. The waiter brought our dog a water bowl which was very nice and we liked the different mimosa options. I really liked the breakfast potatoes served with the croque monsieur"

"Visited on a girls trip. Peaceful, cute atmosphere! Wonderful service & delicious food!!! Good choice of music too. Will be back here again when in town!!"

"It was our first time and we enjoyed our experience. Eggs Benedict is a favorite and was truly enjoyed. I knew it had to be good when they were silent. I tried the elephant ear waffle, solely based on the homemade cinnamon butter. It was a perfect choice with a side of bacon, cooked crisp without having to ask! And for the most important for me, the coffee . . . it was hot and delicious. We're glad we stopped in before the lighthouse tour."

Located on Main St. in downtown St. Joe, MI. We’re in the same building as our sister restaurant, 221 Main, just use the door at the corner of Main & Pleasant. Opening a breakfast restaurant has been an idea of ours for a few years now. We’re so excited to finally bring The Copper Pot to both locals and tourists alike.
