2025-04-24 18:30 - 20:00
Reserved. It’s National Pigs In A Blanket Day but CO puts their pigs to bed at 2 PM, the same time when they stop serving breakfast. So we’ll have to come back on another day for that. I thought they had closed, but they hadn’t, they only changed management. It’s been a while since we were here last, but their menu is still the same: https://copperovencafe.com/menu. And they serve the best Sugar Free Coconut Cake. It’s also National Bucket List Day, perhaps, as a conversation starter, we should answer what is still on our individual bucket lists?
