This place truly is a gem! My girlfriend and I came here for the first time today, and we were both very satisfied. The customer service is amazing, and the food is very good! The donuts at the end were just a bonus. Will definitely be back here soon

Great place to eat. French toast almost done even after my daughter ate already. Clubhouse gone even after having a full breakfast, lattice fries and burgers are so delicious. Affordable to boot. Thank you Kerry from #campcherokee for reccomend this place.

I LOVE this restaurant. First of all, GREAT customer service. The mother & her little son as the servers. Really fun energy to be around especially when the little son is giving you the cutlery & desserts & cleaning up the tables after. Really fun company to be around. Great energy from the other people that go here especially the family. Local spot with a great selection of food. The Green Smoothie was PERFECT, vegetarian is all that I can ask for today. The Rye Bread with the sweet pink sauce is so nice. The Ultimate Skillet didn't impresss me but I'm very grateful for having tried it once. Nice home family vibes. That's what makes this place so awesome. Thank you Copper Spoons!

Copper Spoons in Peterborough is a breakfast lover's dream come true. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The decor is charming and cozy, perfect for a relaxed morning meal. The menu offers a fantastic variety of breakfast options, catering to all tastes and dietary preferences. Whether you're in the mood for classic eggs and bacon, a hearty omelette, or something sweet like their delectable pancakes and waffles, Copper Spoons has it all. Their use of fresh, local ingredients truly sets them apart, and you can taste the quality in every bite. One of the highlights of my visit was the friendly and attentive staff. They made sure my coffee cup was always full and were more than happy to accommodate special requests. Their service is prompt, yet they allow you to enjoy your meal at a leisurely pace. Overall, Copper Spoons is a must-visit for anyone in Peterborough looking for a top-notch breakfast experience. The combination of delicious food, welcoming ambiance, and excellent service makes it a standout choice. I'll definitely be returning and recommending it to friends and family!

Must try hidden gem and not to be missed. The friendliest MOST delightful little spot. Food is fantastic. Must try is the Loaded Benedict with the cubed hasbrowns. By far better than any other Benedict I have ever eaten. We also had the pancakes which were fluffy and flavorful. Then if that couldn’t be better, they end your meal with a fresh and piping hot mini donut! 10 out of 10! Well worth the drive from anywhere.

It's a small diner style restaurant, very well executed. We had heard from friends how good this place was but this was our first visit, a Friday at the end of March Break. Got there about 12:30 and despite almost all 30 seats being full, we had our food a little after 1. The fries were excellent as was the crispy chicken burger special. Pictured is the regular Turkey Club. Great bacon & cheddar slice. If you like lots of mayo, ask for extra. And the DONUTS! Warm, sugar dusted & delicious.

Low key, the best breakfast I have ever had. A small cozy place which filled up fast on a Friday morning, but we got a seat no problem. The pancake was fluffy, the maple syrup was warm, the hash browns were crisp, the eggs were over easy, the doughnuts were fresh and hot!(And they actually have copper spoons.) The service was friendly and warm and playful. Highly recommended little nook!

We were in Peterborough for a hockey tournament. I Google breakfast places This restaurant had amazing reviews, so we decided to give it a try. And I can see why. The atmosphere was cozy and homey. Service was amazing. And food was very good, and flavourful. Everything was homemade Would definitely give it a 10 we will be going back to try out their lunch menu. It was also reasonably priced.

Best place to go for Breakfast or lunch ! Ive never had a bad experience, Very good Customer service and amazing food. Small Restaurant but its perfect. When ever I go there its always a great atmosphere. The prices are very good, I always find you get what you pay for and always leave full. I think after eating the food when you are served the homemade donuts they are so good. I recommend Trying the BLT or even a Breakfast pizza ! Truly you cant go wrong with what ever you choose. Added Bonus they have a kids menu ! Ill be a forever customer !

Ive been meaning to leave a 5 star google review for the staff and owner of Copper Spoons. We visited Peterborough and were looking for a great place to have breakfast. We chose this restaurant based on the positive reviews and they were right! Small space but so full of charm and lovely staff who made the space fun with their customer service and friendly banter. Great food, and a surprise at the end of the meal on our first visit with fresh out of the fryer donuts! When we visited for the second time the only thing we were hoping for was a table, LOL. Either way, we would have waited our turn. Please go support this small business, highly recommend for a yummy breakfast! Keep up the great work, Copper Spoons!

Food was okay, the atmosphere itself is really cute and well designed, but the service was incredibly poor. Our waitress took a while to take our order and didnt say a single word to us afterwards, not a single check in on the food or offer a coffee refill even though we finished our coffee early on. Very odd experience and did not feel welcome or comfortable eating there. Wont be going back.

★★★★★

I m not usually one to go out for breakfast, but my family loves going to Copper Spoons (yes, I know they have more than just breakfast). Prices are reasonable, food is good, portion sizes are great. Yes it can be busy at times, but that s a sign of a good restaurant! Jess is amazing and so welcoming. I love the banter with other patrons. I keep returning for the top-notch service. And the delicious fresh-made jam. And the complimentary fresh doughnuts!

★★★★★
June 22, 2024

Hands down the best breakfast restaurant Ive eaten at and Ive been all over the world. The service is phenomenal, the food is worth going out of your way for and the presentation is immaculate. The only flaw is its not local to me so I only get to go when Im working in the area. Definitely a must try!

★★★★★
June 22, 2024

Our first visit as it came highly recommended from several folks. We were blown away by every aspect of our experience. Firstly, every table (save one) was occupied and there was only one person serving the entire floor (she is quick, knowledgeable, and friendly) and she greeted the person behind us in line by name. We had a very short wait and, once entered, sat down at a nice clean table and began looking at the gloriously versatile menu. Truly something for everyone. I had the loaded eggs Benedict and my husband had the loaded avocado toast. We were pleasantly surprised at the serving size not to mention the quality of the ingredients (perfectly fresh) and everything was prepared to perfection. I had to take part of mine to-go! We finished our meal with their signature sugared donuts (a MUST!). The patrons were friendly, the staff is phenomenal. The food was impeccable and the price was right. Thank you Copper Spoons for a lovely experience.

Its cozy, but full of regulars and fun banter, the service is fantastic and the food is amazing and so affordable. The owner is always there and always remembers our order, even though we dont get the opportunity to go that often. I recently made the switch to gluten free/dairy free and was thrilled that CS could not only accommodate my diet, but serve the best GF bread Ive ever had. There is a reason there is always a lineup out to the street. I guarantee its worth the wait!

my FAVOURITE breakfast spot in ptbo!!! highly highly recommend, a very small but cozy restaurant with excellent food and great portions. good prices too! their homemade jam and toast is amazing - homefries always soooo good - lattice fries and dip are amazing - fresh fruit and (when they haven t run out) they give you a free warm homemade mini donut!!! i recommend booking ahead with a reservation since it gets quite packed inside. but overall so yummy - i always leave full and happy! they seem to have lots of regulars as well, the waitress greets a lot of folks by name :) edit: not wheelchair accessible - a few stairs to walk up to get inside of the small restaurant. also, only street parking available but there s usually always a street spot closeby or on one of the nearby side streets Vegetarian options: They have a vegetarian tomato ravioli vegetarian soup occasionally (soups change every day and some have meat in it). Gravy is not vegetarian, but still a good amount of options like fries, veggie sandwich, avocado toast, pancakes waffles etc!

Wow! We were driving through and stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant with amazing reviews and thought we d check it out. My husband said it perfectly, places like this don t exist anymore . Incredible food - quality and portion size over exceeded our expectations. Waitress was a one-woman show with one cook and her dad doing dishes. Every customer seemed like a regular by the fun banter and the waitress knowing what her locals normally ordered. There are stairs to the washroom so if you need accessibility this would be a challenge. We will definitely recommend this place to our friends and family and we will be back!

A solid 4.5 stars... I really wish our Google overlords would make the rating out of 10 not 5. I have a real issue with giving 5 stars. That said...the only reason that Copper Spoons gets the 4 is because it was a busy Saturday and service was the tiniest bit slow...and I prefer to leave a little room for improvement. Breakfast Pizza... absolutely loved this. Coffee...a proper mug, not bitter but a bit stronger than most. Kim loved the Clubhouse...and the request to remove the middle slice was greeted with a smile ... Ambience is comfortable & homey. We have recently started to visit Peterborough...this will be our breakfast stop. Great food, people and reasonable prices. Thats a great recipe.

I am reviewing Copper Spoons somewhat reluctantly. Reluctant because once you find this hidden Gem, we will end up waiting for a table when we go there. That is OK because this restaurant deserves to be a huge success and your go to place for breakfast or lunch. I am a vegetarian and have a hard time finding a breakfast place that I wouldnt hesitate to go back to. I had the Vegetarian Skillet and my partner had the Sunrise Special which is served between 7 - 10 am. It came with 2 eggs, hashbrowns, toast, (Rye is 50 cents extra), choice of bacon, sausage links or turkey bacon, PLUS coffee or tea. This Special was only $6.99. Try getting all of that elsewhere!. The portions were generous and hot. Our server was Jess who was very friendly and prompt. I love finding restaurants that are unique and Cooper Spoons is unique. Cooper Spoons is in a residential area and I would bet that most people drive right by it and dont realize that they just passed a great little restaurant. It is small and quaint, but very cozy. A real friendly place. Looking forward to being a regular patron. Thank you for the great food and service. Wishing you great success. When Jess brought us our bill, she also gave us a complimentary, still hot, freshly baked old-fashioned cinnamon sugar donut.

Bespoke off the main street and well hidden rustic gem that delivers an off beat but happily polished experience and fun breakfast diner setting. Feels like it has a European influence and was glad to have escaped the main street to try this quirky little familyplace. They take reservations and would suggest you make one as it was super busy the entire time we were there on a Saturday. Clearly well known by locals at this point. Wait at the door and friendly staff will help you when you arrive. Food was well varied and delicious.

I have been here many times before. Excellent food homey atmosphere. This morning was different . Had a reservation,watched while more than one group who had arrived after us were instantly given menus, cutlery etc and we were still sitting waiting for a menu. Eventually I got menus myself and still we waited. Finally we left without anyone having come near our table. I was disappointed because I was taking someone who had never been there before. I doubt she will ever go back. I probably wont either, but I sure wont be raving about it any more.

Ordered two vegetarian omelettes with gluten free bread as well as gluten free french toast. The bread was so light and fluffy and tasted homemade.

Was passing through town on our way up north and needed a breakfast stop. My wife and I are big supporters of support small businesses. The people and food was fantastic. The homemade jam alone is reason to stop in. Big portions, quality ingredients and as I mentioned the owner and other guest were so friendly. We managed to sit beside a table of locals and enjoyed good food with good conversation.

I found this gem of a restaurant while in Peterborough for the day. Initially I chose it for its proximity to where we were, but quickly read the positive reviews. It did not disappoint. The owner served us and was lovely, accommodating, and efficient. While we were there it was clear this charming little place is a hot spot for regulars. They knew peoples names and orders and that in itself was refreshing. Aside from the atmosphere, the food was excellent. Everything was made to order and very fresh. Then- once our table was cleared- a large tray hot fresh donuts appeared! She said everyone gets a donut! My kids were thrilled, the donuts were delicious, and it was the best surprise. Truly an excellent experience. We will be sure to go back when in Peterborough again! Parking: Street parking but plenty.

Our favourite spot for breakfast and lunch. Quick service, affordable prices and delicious food. The restaurant is clean and they are conscious of my dietary restrictions (food allergies).

We absolutely love coming here! We used to live in town, very close and we frequently would visit any chance we could! We now live outside of town, and this continues to be our go to spot. We have tried other spots in town of course, but Copperspoons NEVER disappoints! We have had breakfast menu items and lunch, nothing has left us unsatisfied in presentation or flavour. We have always been treated with respect when we come in, and the duration of our visit we get treated like family (shes rolled her eyes at my husband, and I instantly knew we were coming back to this place FOREVER!) lol Dietary restrictions: I have had a couple of medical issues over the years and the restaurant has always been able to accommodate me. Even if it meant altering my meal to make it smaller, or just picking a few thingsto make my own combo of items Parking: Street parking out front, or along side streets Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly

The servers are very rude. I am on time, dont blame on late delivery because I can post my reviews for the skip. All skip drivers deserve respect. If you can not give then turn off skip from your restaurant. We all work up to late at night after you close. We also work in heavy snow. So you dont have any right to talk with anybody like this way. You can not say *not thank you*

Breakfast perfection! Delicious food. Good coffee. Amazing service. Terrific value. Super cute decor. Classic and creative menu options. Our absolute hands down favourite breakfast spot. I chose fruit instead of potato today and was surprised at the beautiful colourful selection of fresh deliciousness. Oh did I mention fresh hot mini donut? Yep. Insanely good. Only downfalls are it can be hard to get a table because it s so great it fills up fast and we wish it were open Sundays, but we get it . Everyone needs some family time! Thanks for being awesome :)

Copper Spoons is an amazing little diner and it will not be Peterboroughs best kept secret for long! This is a dining gem tucked away in an established neighbourhood. The owner/operator, Jessica, has boundless energy and welcomes regulars and new customers as if they were family.

Fast, hot and scrumptious food served with attention to detail; it doesnt get much better!
