Our story
From a coffee cart to the corner of Example Lane
Ten years of slow mornings
The Copper Kettle started as a single coffee cart at the Saturday market, run by two friends and one very temperamental espresso machine.
Today we have four walls, a very large oven, and many of the same regulars. We still keep it simple: good coffee, food made from scratch, and a place you're happy to sit for an hour.
