    We really had a wonderful lunch there after walking around the Pismo beach pier. The service was excellent and food was amazing. I had my two year old with me and when the host checked us in, she immediately providing my child crayons and drawing paper. The server was excellent and very attentive. Would definitely come back if I visit the area next time.

    Excellent Christmas Eve dinner and exceptional service. We enjoyed our dinner and drinks and even indulged in a piece of the lemon coconut cake. Everything was delicious. We actually went back this morning for breakfast and had waffles and bacon and eggs with the homemade biscuit and again everything was yummy and delicious. Highly recommend visiting the Copper Cafe for Christmas or anytime of the year.
