The Copper Hen was such a great experience! The aesthetic of the restaurant is absolutely beautiful -- cozy, charming, and perfect for brunch. The food was amazing, and everything we ordered was delicious. Our server made the experience even better. He kept us constantly laughing, was super attentive, and made sure the bottomless mimosas were always flowing. The service honestly stood out just as much as the food. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to! read more

Definitely overhyped. I called my mom on the way home to talk over our experience and I'm not sure I'd go back. On paper: sounds great, supporting local, an area that needs thriving business because lots of things around it are...struggling or don't feel safe / look good. Beautiful restaurant if going based off of just aesthetics. They couldn't cram more tables in there if they tried so all those people must have different thoughts! I couldn't hear a friend talking 2 seats away from me. The irony of a 2 hour reservation for Sunday brunch and waiting an hour and a half for food. Maybe its because we had a group of 7 today but our waitress straight up refilled our water once and then avoided eye contact for the next hour 20. We had to ask other staffers after an hour where our food since members of our group had to leave shortly after scarfing their food down. Food: mixed reviews from my table but most agreed the bread pudding French toast was a dense blob. I ordered the farmers brunch and subbed a pancake for the French toast - the best decision I made. Bacon was worse than a drive thru: either burnt or straight up uncooked fat. Left it on my plate. The potatoes were the real star but not for a $20 meal. Anyways, go at your own risk! I don't eat out a lot for breakfast / brunch so this was supposed to be a treat for me but ended up being a waste of money. read more

Dang, we had a less-than-ideal experience here on Sunday. We wanted a spot with free parking nearby before going into a show downtown, so opted for brunch here. The noise levels in this space are quite high, and it can be hard to hear yourself or others. The staff seemed slammed - it took 15 minutes to receive my latte, and we were waiting quite a while for food too. Our server seemed very distracted and overworked/spread thin. She cleared our entire table before taking our card to get us our receipt and on our way, which was a bit odd too. Unfortunately, our food was a meh experience too. The $8 latte was the smallest I've ever seen, in a teacup almost. I got the skillet, and the potatoes weren't crispy, the pork belly was overcooked and tough, and the flavors were all the same. Other members of my party got the avocado toast and bagel. The price point was quite steep for the meal. Sadly I won't plan to come back anytime soon - I hope others have a better experience! read more

Parking was effortless - scored a prime spot immediately. Bathrooms were decent, but the awkward part was standing around in many people's way based on the layout - very frustrating experience. Service was good, though a bit impersonal given how busy it was. The food and coffee, however, were exceptional--easily the standout. Lacked a little polish however the food was extraordinary and the service was pretty good! read more

Have heard really good things about this place- I wish I would've gotten more of a breakfast forward item as I feel it would've been done better(I got the chicken sandwich) The hot honey sauce was very good and the seasoning on the potatoes was incredible- I love when my potatoes are super seasoned and crispy and those were just that. The piece of chicken I got had some gristly bits which threw me off a little & I wish there would've been more sauce to dip it in as some bites lacked flavor. Service was good especially for how busy it was! read more

Stopped in to celebrate a family member and was such a great time! We got their cinnamon roll to share and that is a must! The Bloody Mary was also amazing and perfect amount of spice in the spicy one. It can get busy so make reservations ahead of time if you can. It can be a little noisy when full but haven't had an issue with that before. Would highly recommend checking this place out! read more

This is a very cute place on eat street with a lot of great options. We went here for a friend's birthday dinner. We shared the bread basket and mozzarella sticks. I felt these were a unique twist on classic apps. I didn't love the bread basket personally but those I was with did. It was a chocolate rye bread and then I think a whole grain bread with horseradish butter, rosemary butter, and a sour cherry jam. The mozzarella sticks were 3 different types of cheese, 2 sticks each, and 3 different dips. For my entree I built my own flatbread with pepperoni and ricotta. Very good and lots of combination options for the flatbread. My friends all enjoyed their entrees as well which included the Mac n cheese, Caesar salad, steak, and chicken sandwich. You can't skip dessert, the cupcakes are super great! read more

I can't believe I've never been to the comprehend. Probably reflects the fact that it's hard to get me to go across the river in Minneapolis. But I am so glad I did. One of the many amazing restaurants Eat Street that everyone should go patronize, especially for the support they have been providing the neighborhood lately. I love the aesthetic. It's very cozy yacht a little industrial with the exposed brick walls. I would be cautious about sitting next to a wall when it's extraordinarily cold. But otherwise you're fine. Even though they were very busy, our server was very attendant. Brought me all the coffee refills I needed. I just had the drip, but it was excellent. I ordered the avocado toast. I thought it was a little high priced until they brought it. I could not get over the size of my meal. It was so huge. But more importantly it was so tasty. I don't often gosh about avocado toast. But this one was really good. Thick cut bread. Avocado salsa that just really held its own up against the toppings. There's a little bit of a kick of heat. Eggs were done just the way I asked. It was so large. I ended up cutting it in half and bringing the rest home to eat later in the day. What a wonderful brunch. I can't wait to go back. read more

Fabulous brunch spot! We had the chilaquiles and farmers breakfast plate. My friend got a mimosa. The portion for the chilaquiles was generous and loved the crispy potatoes. Though we didn't have any this time, the desserts looked great and would love to try them on a future visit. I made a reservation via Open Table so we were seated quickly. I really appreciate that the Copper Hen takes reservations because the brunch spots I frequented in CA didn't. Loved the vintage wallpaper. Service was friendly. Looking forward to coming back! read more

This restaurant was the cutest! We were looking for a cute brunch spot to celebrate our daughter's birthday and this was it! I loved the vibe and the decor - so cozy, lively, and welcoming! The service was nice and friendly. The menu had a variety of items for everyone in our party. The entrees were unique, creative, and absolutely delicious! We tried the short rib criollo, the pork belly skillet, the quiche, the copper benedict, pancake, bacon, and the cinnamon rolls... everything was delicious! The cinnamon rolls were the best we've ever had - amazing!! This is a great spot to check out! read more

Very good Happy Hour spot. Atmosphere is always lively yet quaint. Bar seating for Happy Hour is spacious in the main dining room and not in the way of wait staff pathways. It's nice to be able to sit at the bar and not feel in the way or smothered by being in a direct pathway. Happy Hour pricing is the real stand out it's incredible we had a bottle of wine, steak sliders, fries and broccolini and bill was just over $50. read more

Ordered: Farmer's Brunch (~$18): scrambled eggs, breakfast potatoes (substituted) & sauce ranch crème fraiche, bread pudding French toast, and Ferndale turkey sausage Aya's take: Classic brunch spot in Minneaopolis. The Copper Hen has a very rustic vibe and a fairly standard menu, so you'll definitely find something for everyone. After some deliberation, I went with the Farmer's Brunch since it had a good variety on the same plate. The scrambled eggs were cooked well, I enjoyed the crispy and seasoned breakfast potatoes, and the turkey sausage was a great non-pork option. I love that bread pudding French toast is included in this dish. The bread pudding French toast was dense, sweet, but very tasty. I love a sweet & savory combo so this was perfect. For all this food, I thought ~$18 was a steal! Decent spot for brunch if you're in the area. read more

I rarely give 5 stars - but this place was excellent! Visiting from Houston and took my daughter - who lives in MN - to brunch before leaving - we decided on the Copper Hen. We ordered a few things and shared + she had leftovers for the week. Cinnamon roll was overly DELISH!! We split the biscuits and gravy - be warned this is a full entree. Ordered the daily quiche - fresh flavors and delicious. Our last dish was the pork belly skillet. We topped everything off with a champagne cupcake. AND the breakfast potatoes are OMGoodness! Wait staff were fabulous and friendly! The decor is modern rustic cafe - very cute. read more

I had a wonderful experience here for brunch. The service was great, and they were willing to split checks for 6 people which I really appreciated. I ordered the smoked salmon plate, which ended up being enormous!! The cream cheese was especially good. Next time I plan to order pasties ahead of time, because by the time I left around noon most were sold out. I also love that this is on a main bus line, as I value places that are accessible by public transit. read more

This was my first time here as we came for my daughter's graduation dinner this past weekend. To say our party of 12 was blown away is an understatement. Our host Michael was absolutely awesome, he was very quick and tentative and the food was delicious, so good I ate it all and forgot to take a picture lol. We also ordered our cake from them too which was equally delicious. Myself I order the steak with mashed potatoes and have been thinking about it ever since. The restaurant itself is nice and cozy and would be perfect for a date night. I already have plans to visit again next weekend. If you haven't been here yet, GOOOOO! You will not be disappointed. read more

We arrived to our reservation early, but they were able to seat us immediately! We were here to celebrate a birthday, and we got a free cupcake because of it, which was very sweet. The servings were all very large, everyone easily took home leftovers. On a Sunday evening, vibes were great and just quiet enough to hear each other talk which I always love. Will be here again for brunch! read more

The Copper Hen - Soft Pretzels & Beer Cheese Basket** - New American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Ugh, I was really hopeful for this place but our night was just a little off. The waitress forgot a few things but I'm assuming positive intent and that she was just having an off day. She seemed really nice! The wine, was delicious, Predator Six Red Blend. I ordered a chicken pot pie, perfect for a gloomy night. The crust was great, could have used more vegetables, the kicker was there was a whole chicken thigh in the pie, not really that appetizing. The potential is there though! Lastly I was excited for dessert, white cake with champagne frosting in a little mason jar. The cake tasted like corn bread and was not very fresh. I prefer copper hen for breakfast. read more

The best thing about our experience at The Copper Hen was our server, Dominique. Everything else at this place is a question mark, so I'm going with three out of five stars to land squarely in the middle on the experience. I tried the brioche cinnamon roll and a side of the bread pudding French toast. To drink, I went with the bottomless mimosa...and let's start there. Here's my thing with a bottomless at most restaurants--I always feel like I am getting the shaft on the bubbly. The first mimosa hit the table and it had the distinct scent of "too much OJ." There was just a hint of prosecco or champagne (I'm not sure now which one was purportedly in each glass), but not nearly enough to get even a hint of a morning buzz with the first drink. As I was finishing the first glass, I wanted to signal that I wanted a pour with something even sort of resembling actual prosecco in the glass...but Dominique swooped in with another round of the mimosa. On the one hand, love the service...a person who orders a bottomless should never have an empty glass. On the other hand, I wasn't looking to have four glasses of orange juice this weekend without any bubbly. So, I sat there in silence, drinking glasses of mostly orange juice, cursing to myself. The meal was fine. The single slice of French toast that came out initially looked like it would be too light to be called a meal, but two bites into it, the density of the slice really kicked in. It was tasty, but nothing I would order again. The cinnamon roll was also tasty but it didn't have enough frosting for my tastes--this is ironic, because I asked if the roll would have enough custard and I was assured that it would--so we left half of the roll on the plate because we ran out of frosting, leaving a mostly dry, dense roll to sit by itself. My 11-year-old got the pretzel and a side of eggs, and seemed to enjoy themselves. My other family member got a veggie omelette and had mostly good things to say about it. We all agreed that the breakfast potatoes were the best thing we ate at the meal. I didn't mind the rustic feel of this place, and again, service was great. But I'm sure there are better brunch spots in Minneapolis and I am excited to try those on future trips. read more

Ooooh. I LIKE it here. They absolutely nail the rustic chic aestetic. Picture the most Instagrammable farmhouse wedding ever--that's what it looks like. Lots of wood and stone, beautiful, warm lights, a neat dried hydrangea chandelier, and touches of vintage ephemera came together to make an extremely welcoming and comfortable space. Add in some great tunes and awesome service, and I am already sold. There's a parking lot right across the street, which makes parking easy as pie, too. The menu here is impressive. With a wide range of dishes for palates and preferences of every kind, you're sure to find something that pleases. Massive praise for the vast selection of vegetarian friendly options and the zero-proof beverage menu. Adore. While I was strongly tempted by the mocktails, I ultimately landed on the lemonade. I'm not sure if this is a new TC beverage trend or I've just gotten lucky lately, but I have seen creative lemonades appearing on menus, and I have never been disappointed. The Copper Hen has a handful of flavor options, and thanks to their complimentary refill on lemonade, I got to try two flavors--lavender and rosemary. (They're both really good, and they're very pretty.) We ordered some shareables to start, including the ratatouille and the sweet potato pierogies. They were both SO GOOD. The pierogies are fried and come served with a tasty creamy sauce and browned butter. It was pure comfort on a gray and rainy day. They were chewy and just the right blendu of sweet and savory, with a healthy dose of nuttiness thanks to the browned butter and Parmesan. Yum. The ratatouille had a beautiful presentation and was bright in both color and flavor--the squash and eggplant held their shape, and the tomato sauce had the lovely bite of garlic and pepper. The cheese on top added flavor and texture contrast and was a really pleasant addition. (I absolutely recommend them both.) For my entree, I had the loveliest Parmesan tortellini: served in a spicy vodka sauce, it was cooked to a perfect al dente. Topped with basil and Parmesan, this dish is sure to please anyone who's a fan of pasta. The presentation and flavors were just flawless. As you'd expect from a place that has "cakery" in its name, The Copper Hen does dessert, and they do it well. With a huge selection of cupcakes and mason jar cakes always on offer, it also features seasonal takes on several classic desserts, including the two that we went with: the hand pie and the crème brûlée. The hand pie is available warmed and with ice cream (highly recommend), and this evening, was berry. It was just want you want in a pie--sweet and flaky and made with love. The brûlée was maple and came with candied pecans. It was really, really good: there was exactly the right amount of brûlée, the pecans added additional crunch, and the combination of flavors made for the perfect amount of sweetness. The Copper Hen would be a great place for dinner with friends, family, or a date. It's very conducive to conversation, and it's a really comfortable space to be in. This really is a great find! read more

One of the few brunch places that had reservations available for 8 people on a Sunday at 11am - booked the night before! Parking very easy right outside. Our group got tons of dishes on the menu and they were all great. The potatoes had good crisp, the meat good flavor. Sorry but I don't remember any specific dishes! Super reasonably priced. We got maybe 7 dishes, it came out to only $31 per person. read more

Sat outside for a recent Sunday brunch. Enjoyed a spicy "bloody hell", which arrived with olive and a muffin garnish. Veggie omelette with Brie was on point. Farmers potatoes weren't available but oven roasted potatoes substituted were delicious. Others enjoyed the Hot honey chicken sandwich, the chillequiles, and the quiche. All plates were beautiful and service was great. Limited outside seating in the bright Minneapolis sunshine was delightful. read more

Now is the greatest time to support our neighbors running and working at restaurants on Eat Street, and this place was phenomenal. The service was excellent, it was so easy to make a reservation, and I was delighted by their selection of gluten free offerings. The music was a comfortably low volume, and the space wasn't too echoey, so conversation was easy and didn't require us to yell! I'm excited to come back and try their dinner menu sometime. The amazing folx here closed their doors for a number of days to support the amazing people protesting ICE in the last week and doing ICE Watch, and provide street medic assistance to those who need it. This is a business well deserving of your support right now!! read more

I was excited to try this place but the food fell a little short. My favorite item was the short rib, the rice was tasty and the short rib was tender. The farmers breakfast was alright. The potatoes tasted a little stale and the eggs were a little rubbery and didn't taste like anything. The bread pudding was very dense and I personally like my bread pudding to be a little more moist. The sandwich was fine and the potatoes were crunchy. The batter on the chicken was also crunchy but tasted unseasoned and flavorless. I liked the pickles in the sandwich. The bakery items were very good, I think that's where this place really shines. It's a shame because the space is really cute and the staff seemed nice. read more

Checked Yelp for a location in Minnesota that had good bottomless mimosas and food and after scrolling decided to try The Copper Hen. Super cute restaurant that uses locally sourced food and ingredients. My waitress was super attentive and had knowledge of the menu. I ordered coffee, bottomless mimosas, and farmers brunch (scrambled eggs, roasted rosemary fingerlings with garlic green sauce, bread pudding french toast & ferndale turkey sausage. I devoured my food! Everything was delicious! It was busy (the restaurant was completely full when I left) but not overwhelming. You could hear chatter from all the conversations. I left full and smiling ! read more

Delicious! Went on a Sunday for brunch. Made a reservation and glad we did. Place was hopping! A bustle of energy. Be ready for tight spaces and loud atmosphere. Parking is in a lot across the street - shared by multiple establishments. We got lucky and got the last spot otherwise it's street parking. Had the Farmers Brunch. Do you like bread pudding? Do you like French toast? Can you imagine French Toast made out of Bread Pudding? AMAZING! Scrambled eggs and bacon were good too. The breakfast potatoes were also quite tasty. Many other good items on the menu and what I saw at other tables they likely didn't disappoint either. Service was great. Attentive but didn't feel rushed. YUM! read more

Went for brunch with a party of 6 and had a lovely time! The cocktails and the bottomless mimosas were probably the stars (though they are very strict about not sharing sips with other people). The food was very very good, but was missing that little extra something that's kept it from being spectacular. I ordered the Farmer's Breakfast with a side of creamed spinach and kale, and everything was yummy, but the flavor on the potatoes could have been stronger and the texture of the bread pudding french toast was just a little too stodgy for me. Our server was very friendly and fairly attentive for how busy they were (Saturday brunch, it was packed). 4.5 star review overall, and I would definitely go back! Parking can be a little challenging, as there is only street parking available. read more

Superb ambiance giving France energy mixed with uptown hip. The online reservation process was simple and service was quick. My table had a variety of espresso and coffee drinks, 1 omelette, 1 Farmer's Breakfast and 1 pancake. We all split the giant brioche cinnamon roll. The food was seasoned well and the space allowed for great conversation with big natural lighting from the windows. Rating this a 4 because the area has went downhill and parking is not the most convenient. In addition, the front entry gets super tight when entering that it's hard to know who is in line before you. However, don't let these things deter you, rather give extra time and be aware. Enjoy! read more

Some friends & I came to the Copper Hen for brunch; the place is really cute! Parking was a bit of a pain, there's a lot across the street but it seems to fill up fast. Once we were seated, our server was fantastic. The restaurant was really loud, though, it was kind of difficult to hear each other. I also sat in a chair that was against a pillar, so there wasn't much wiggle room. Our food, though, was delicious. I got the farmer's brunch, which was a ton of food. The French toast was so dense, it was the consistency of a zucchini bread or coffee cake. I also really enjoyed the creamed spinach that it came with. We all also shared a cinnamon roll, which was huge & so tasty. I'll absolutely be back, maybe next time on the patio! read more

I chose this of the many breakfast options in Minneapolis because I was desperate for hollandaise sauce, which is naturally gluten-free but not gluten-free in many restaurants because the commercialy produced kind uses wheat as a thickener. I ended up getting the pork belly skillet because it had everything I wanted (though i considered subbing poached eggs, which i love). My dining companion got the copper benedict, which was beautiful and delicious. My hollandaise was flavored with bacon, which made it quite salty. Somewhat ironically, my dining companion thought her sauce was bland, while mine was just right for her. This is a reflection of our preferences, not the quality of the sauces, which were both excellent. We just got regular coffee even though they sell a lot of delicious-looking coffee beverages such as lattes. The plain coffee was very good Our server, Dominique, was lovely and kind. My only complaint is that the pork belly was rather tough - i'm used to it being a bit more melt in your mouth. That is a minor issue, and I would certainly return to try more dishes. read more

Best brunch place!!! I have been here before for brunch and it was delicious, but decided to stop by for an early dinner. I had the French dip and it was DELICIOUS. Those sweet potato fries might be my favorite thing ever. They're huge and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. In the pricier side but worth the vibes (and the food).
