Copper Lane Cafe and Provisions

"More than you expect! Coffee house, little bit bakery, wine selection so grab a bottle or 2 to relax after skiing, snacks, over the counter medicines, souvenirs. Easy stop on way to catch shuttle back to condos"

"After spending $14 for a roll of paper towel and a 4-pack toilet paper (all of the lowest quality) plus a soda, I asked if they had plastic bags (which would be great considering it's a very wet snow season), the lady behind the counter rolled her eyes and said "Oh we don't do plastic bags here." Then, the pos machine asked for tips starting at 18%, which I don't believe many have ever seen at a convenient store... Just yet another moment that reminds me why I left California... Follow-up to the reply of the owner: Apparently we have different definitions of quality of toilet papers. With thin toilet papers, in order to avoid getting your hands soiled, one needs to use more layers and that won't save the environment. Regarding plastic bags, plastic can be almost 100% recycled with modern technologies, and they don't require cutting trees. As for the pos machine, California is the citadel of software engineering and it's just hilarious that pos machines here can't tell cafe customers from supply shoppers based on what they are buying. Finally, trust me, if I had a choice, I'd rather never return to CA."

"Sure there is a Safeway and a Raley’s close by, but sometimes you just don’t want to get in the car. Very convenient location. I think we went twice a day while staying here! They have a lot of items that fit several diets. I am wheat, soy and peanut free (minimal dairy) and they had plenty of things I could buy there. The iced chai latte with almond milk is delicious. My husband ordered an iced mocha everyday! He doesn’t drink coffee but once a month - maybe! I tried a sip, hands down best mocha I’ve had. My husband and friend had breakfast there one day and they said it was also really good. Prices are what you would expect for a specialty market in a resort village. I don’t mind paying extra considering how convenient it is - and how good the drinks are! *I also shop at Whole Foods - so I wasn’t in price shock. Dee and Sarah and very friendly!"

"During our week stay at Northstar, we stopped here every day. All of the employees were very friendly and very helpful. Also, the chef made us the most delicious tofu breakfast burritos. The food in the village is pretty mediocre overall, so I was pleasantly surprised by the food at this small cafe/grocery store."

"Mini grocery market and cafe for quick snack and drinks, limited seating, not my first choice here to sit down to have a bite or a drink, convenient store right next to lodging and in village but at triple the price."
