Copper Kettle Cafe

This Café is very big and spacious compare to the other neighbourhood café. Lots of tables and chairs to do work and for small group gathering. the décor is very simple and somewhat industrial feeling.
Love the openness of the whole place, surrounded by ceiling to floor windows on 2 sides. The kitchen is also open concept, you can see and smell the apple fritters.
Coffee is very typical, not the best. But they have a nice selection of brewed coffee and tea.

I have such mixed emotions on this place.
Their food — meh. It’s just not good for what you’re paying for. Some members of my party didn’t even finish their meal.
They make a solid latte — but when they serve it to you it’s as hot as liquid magma. I could barely hold the cup walking to the car.
Good live music some nights.
Like I said — mixed emotions.
I like to support the little guy but they need to step up their game a bit.

I come to Brown Dog often. It has everything you want in a coffee shop, including lots of tables and seating, wi-​fi, a sofa area with silent BW movies playing endlessly. Washroom are clean. The windows are nice and great to gaze through when you get tired of studying or listening to your companion (oh hope my companion doesn’t read this review ;).
Love apple fritters. Never get tired of them. Also enjoy their coffee, lattes and often get the hot apple cider. Sandwiches are good. I’ve never had a bad eat or drink experience at Brown Dog.
they are usually open until 10pm. Which is later than starbucks in waterdown.

This is our benchmark Café. For some reason we didn’t find it until this fall and we have been back several times for coffee and different pastries. I enjoyed the fritters and we have tried the scones and sandwiches as well. My favourite is the scones. There is plenty of space and comfy chairs so you don’t feel like you are jammed in. They also have a frequent buyer card to redeem for coffee.

I’ve come here quite a few times and overall it’s a good place. I usually get a huge Kilimanjaro (coffee) to go. I’ve only had food once, sweet potato fries with Russian dressing. They were soggy in a brown paper bag, came with Russian mayo and it wasn’t very tasty. I often order sweet potato fries with dip and these were the worst I’ve ever had.

Just went for a take away for coffee and muffin. Both taste fantastic. The décor was very nice too. I had a peak at what people were having for lunch. The soups and sandwiches were so tempting. Defo going to come back to this place for a more proper visit :)

Super cool café!!! I love the decorations and the cool idea. Latte and lemon juice are so good

Thank you Brown Dog for the BEST apple fritters I’ve had in my life. Seriously! I also enjoyed your maple leaf Skor latte which was absolutely decadent. Perfect end to a hectic week. Customer service was fantastic. Please bring a location to Yonge and Eglinton in Toronto!

Brown Dog is right at that mid-​point between café and restaurant, and they manage to pull off both sides better than almost anyone. The coffee is good (even the decaf, which is called Neutered Dog… fabulous), they do a variety of food things like soups, salads and sandwiches, all of which are prepared in-​house in their open kitchen. Two sandwiches really stand out: the Portager and the Egg Benedict. No idea why they call it «egg benedict» considering it’s boiled, sliced eggs and stacks of ham, but it’s good. Really, really good. For the asking price of $ 5, I defy anyone to find something more delicious to eat for lunch in the whole town.
Two other things they’re well above average at: muffins and apple fritters. They deep-​fry the fritters when you order them, and so are served hot and soft (unlike, say, a Tim Horton’s apple fritter, which you probably won’t ever want again after having Brown Dog fritters) and make for a great dessert or afternoon snack.
The service is usually very good. Despite being a busy café and me only going there 2 – 3 times a month, the long-​time employees treat me like a regular. Good décor, too, even in the bathrooms, and there’s Waterdown’s Most Comfortable Couch to top it all off. Heck, this place is even laptop-​friendly, with several plugs along the walls and free wi-​fi. I rarely see people working solo on laptops though; the crowd here is more a mix of friends and families.

This is a very nice café to stop in for a sandwich or your morning coffee. I had the Portager sandwich which was nice. Coffee is great. Next time I’m going to save room to try some of their pastries

Great place to grab a sandwich & something sweet! Never tried the coffee bc I’m not a coffee drinker…
Their apple fritters are to die for! U can even watch them make urs hot & fresh thru the glass at the station. Yum!
A bit busy on weekends so not always ideal if looking to dine in but the seating is rustic chic tables & comfy couches in one area.
Pay them a visit, get a bunch of fritters!!!
