"The Copper Hen, Eat Street’s bustling brunch spot, answers the eternal sweet-or-savory brunch dilemma by pairing its farmhouse-style breakfast dishes (think braised short ribs with poached egg; pork belly skillets; biscuits and gravy) with a la carte sides like sticky rolls, buttermilk pancakes, and beautifully dense, inch-thick bread pudding French toast. Brunch cocktails include the usual Bloodys and mimosas, plus Irish coffee and gin-spiked cider." - Justine Jones, Eater Staff
"Ordering a cake from the Copper Hen is the dessert version of a choose-your-own-adventure novel. Start by selecting the cake design (options include a crisp minimalist icing, an arrangement of fresh berries, or lavish drips of caramel with a rose petal garnish, to name a few). Next pick a serving size, from four-inch to 12-inch. Finally, pick out a flavor — maybe carrot, vanilla raspberry, or champagne — and voila. (A gluten-free chocolate cake is available, too.)" - Stacy Brooks, Eater Staff
"The Copper Hen’s chocolate chip skillet cookie, topped with ice cream and caramel, comes hot from the oven. Other highlights are fruit hand pies, S’mores pots de creme, and the famous mason jar cakes, some of which are served with a little pipette of liquor." - Justine Jones, Stacy Brooks
"The Copper Hen Cakery & Kitchen is a charming little bistro with a short list of dishes and a lot of love in the offerings. The café is pleased to offer market-to-table cuisine and the decor is a little rustic and very friendly. They have a full bar and a case of delicious looking mason jar cupcakes for those that are looking for a treat. It's a great place to have a sunny lunch with a friend or return at night for a simple romantic dinner." - Light Grey Art Lab
"The Copper Hen’s event space has a rustic-chic feel. The brick walls are whitewashed; the bare wooden beams are easily wrapped with red pine garland and strung with fairy lights. The best part is the Copper Hen caters wedding cakes, too." - Justine Jones, Alex Lodner
