I enjoyed a lovely lunch at Copper Spot Cafe and Eatery and would definitely come back to try some other items on their menu! However there are some rooms for improvement at this cafe!
I experienced friendly service and prompt seating and serving. I ordered a tropical smoothie and the spicy chicken burger which came with hashtag fries, tomato sauce and aioli.
I asked the waitress what fruits were in the tropical smoothie and she mentioned mango, passionfruit, pineapple and banana. Unfortunately, my smoothie did not taste "tropical" at all and tasted like milk with a hint of banana and coconut. There was a piece of dried strawberry and a couple of pieces of dried banana inside my smoothie and the glass rim had coconut flakes stuck on it. The smoothie was also white (as seen in my photo), even though I was expecting it to be yellow or orange due to the "tropical" fruits mentioned by the waitress.
I was really looking forward to my drink and was disappointed that it did not look or taste "tropical" because it lacked the appropriate fruits. Paying $8.50 for a milk and dried banana smoothie was not worth it!! :( Next time, if the staff knew there was a fruit shortage, they should tell their customer and ask if they wanted a different smoothie instead.
The spicy chicken burger and hashtag fries I ordered were very yummy and made me feel better after my not so impressive smoothie. The chicken was tender and crispy and the rest of the burger fillings complemented each other well. My only complaint about the chicken was that it was not spicy at all. The hashtag fries were crispy and flavourful.
Proudly our new breakfast and coffee spot. After living in Albany we struggled to find a good local spot before we found Copper Spot! Awesome food, great coffee and a super friendly team! A++++
Got the eggs Benedict with salmon, and was very satisfied with the meal. Plating was aesthetic, eggs were perfectly runny, good amount of smoked salmon, soft and buttery scone. The things that were different about this dish were the potato hash, beetroot relish, and crumbed courgettes: these 3 added more texture and flavours and complemented each other as well as the normal ingredients very well.
