I chose Copper Star because of the good reviews on Yelp. It truly did live up to its reputation.
Lets start off with the decor. Its a converted gas station so that is just cool. The garage door is all glass now so it has great natural light. There are a couple of sofas, a few big tables for large parties and a few smaller tables. However there is limited seating overall because hey, old gas stations just weren't that big on the inside. There are a few outside patio tables with misters to keep the heat down but the misters on the right side of the door seemed to be leaking or something so sitting on that side would be like sitting by your yard sprinkler while its going off, effectively eliminating that side of the patio for seating options.
They have a good selection of coffee and non coffee drinks I had a frozen toffee first and a cookies and cream next. My husband had an iced chai. All of the drinks were super yummy, the cookies & cream being my favorite. If you want something sweet & caffienated then this is the drink for you. My husband said he really enjoyed his iced chai too. They had a good selection of pastry type items. We had the cookie brownie which was both tasty and monstrous in size. I saw an award up on the wall in which they were voted best cupcakes.
They do also offer breakfast and lunch type items, eggs, sandwiches and the like. While I did not partake this time I definitely would. They had a nice open kitchen which was clean and tidy.
The service was awesome! Everyone raved about the service in previous reviews and they lived up to it. Whatever they are doing in terms of hiring and training it is working. The staff is genuinely nice and seem to care about what they do. Kudos for that in this day of crap customer service.
The bathrooms overall were clean although the small trash can for putting towels in had begun to overflow and was in need of attention.
This is a good coffee place for everyone. The snob, the teen, the middle agers, retirees. No one would feel out of place here.
I drove 24 miles to have coffee there and would definitely do it again. Well done Copper Star! Well done.
