    Converted and renovated old gas station to a coffee lounge. Hip and cozy inside beautiful outside w/ waterfall in the garden. Oh! And, the coffee is soooo good. 😉

    Unconventional drive thru; you drive over a gas station "door bell rope" and a barista comes out to your car. Bonus? Free pastry on your first visit!

    While they don't sling the absolute best espresso in the city, this place is full of happy people drinking coffee that beats the socks off Starbucks. Come in once and feel like a regular.

    Mention the name Donald Trump, and the look on the barista’s face will heat your latte to exactly the perfect temperature.

    Nice place! It's has a very rustic, hole in the wall kind of feel. Staff was very friendly also. Try the Peppermint Americano!

    Typical coffee options pair nicely with the homemade baked goodness. Copper Star also offers a variety of lunch options, including smoothies, and the tasty lemon sesame Ginger tuna salad sandwich.

    I'm not a vegan but the vegan muffins are delish! Less sweet and real fruit. Blackberry coconut is my fave.

    Nuts: cranberry walnut scone (flakey, butter & heavy cream); banana walnut bread (nice crunchy crust). Neither are doughy.
