Ordered two sandwiches. Absolutely horrible. Didn’t finish anything we bought. This used to be our favorite stop while in basking ridge. Very disappointing that it has fallen apart so bad. Top worst sandwiches I have ordered anywhere. Sad to see our old lunch spot gone so bad.
Update: I was asked to update per the response from Copper Kettle… thank you for asking for specifics. We ordered a chicken salad sandwich on a roll with lettuce, onion, and cheese. The roll was sub par. (Over looked that) By appearance the chicken salad was green. Which could be ok if using fresh herbs. The appearance wasn’t the problem so much it was the taste. It tasted like a literal salt shaker. Over done with the salt is not a thing that you can just eat anyway. Between two people took a few bites and couldn’t finish it. Second sandwich was eggplant parm. Eggplant had more “breading” than eggplant. Cut thin is a definite term here. It was over cooked and hard on the outside. The mozz was the opposite cut very thick and didn’t melt at all. The roasted peppers were fine but the only flavor of the sandwich. Again the roll was sub par. Bag of Utz chips with each sandwich lacked any salt which was ironic due to the salty chicken salad. (Not the restaurants fault. They are made by a company) Service was fine. We didn’t wait overly long (we were the only people in the place) and the guy at the counter was friendly. We should have read the other reviews prior to going in. When we lived in basking ridge we frequently went here. We will not return.

Food is clean and delicious, not heavy at all and everything is halal. Owners are very sweet and generous — I was attending an event at my mentor’s house nearby and they had turned off the grill, but when they told him they were hosting someone who eats halal-only, they made an exception and took my order fully, and THEN SOME. I never met them before but I definitely want to visit to meet them in person. High quality service and people. Will return and can’t recommend more highly 👏🏻

Excellent Place for lunch! Ordered Greek salad with grilled chicken and a chicken wings with a side house salad (instead of french fries). Very fresh taste! A lot of salad for the price! The wings were unusual, they were a deep fried which made them crunchier and just melt in the mouth. You have to eat them hot! Really loved Cooper Kettle. Highly recommended!

Wanted to try this place for brunch for the first time. We got coffees from barrister prior to going here because our 2 month old daughter was a bit fussy and we wanted her to sleep prior to sitting down for lunch. So we sipped on our coffee and walked the block until she slept. Once she did we went inside, there was not a single person inside besides the man working there. The man rudely said no outside food or drink permitted so we could not dine there because we have coffee from barrister. I was excited to try this place but did not like the attitude this man had. We left WITH our coffee and my 2 month old daughter strapped to my chest still sleeping and walked over to blue cafe where they were happy to serve us with our coffee in hand. We had a lovely experience at blue cafe. I never leave reviews but wanted to highlight this experience as we were excited to try somewhere new and support local small businesses as we have across basking ridge. This place does not have the same warm family environment as all other places in town so we will unfortunately not be returning.

Just ordered a burger and it was phenomenal. I was on the edge of coming here bc it was only 4 stars, but this place deserves atleast a 4.7, anything lower is criminal. Will be back!

What happened to this place? The food is still great- but rude service and depressing atmosphere. I used to go all the time -went in for soup and they didn’t have chicken noodle that day which is fine so I asked to use bathroom and he said “NO. You have to purchase something” the place was empty. Never again- unless they go back to what they used to be. I know things are rough since Covid. I wish them the best.
Good cheesesteak , first time going in and will give it another go

Unfortunately I cannot comment on the food but I will not be returning due to the attitude with service. Met some friends here for brunch and our party were the only ones there. There was a dairy allergy in our group and they did not have any non-dairy options for coffee. This person got a coffee from outside with plans for us to still eat breakfast here. The gentleman at the register heard us discussing this and did not say anything indicating this would be an issue. When this person returned with the coffee, we were essentially and rudely told to leave as no outside food is permitted. To be fair, there is a sign outside that states this that we had not noticed. One of the members of our party had used the bathroom during this time. We were forced to buy something before being forced to leave as the bathroom was for customers only. I completely understand the sign and the rules, and have no issue with that. However the way this situation was handled and the way we were treated and spoken to were uncalled for. Upon leaving, we bumped into someone on the street who mentioned they had also been treated with disrespect and no longer frequent this establishment.

Came here on the weekend to have breakfast but the guy at the counter was very rude and unwelcoming. It’s unfortunate we never got to try the food because he was so unpleasant. The place was empty which I’m guessing this is one of the reason why. We won’t be back.
