The last time we were here at The Copper Spoon, it was before the pandemic. We had our first taste of their layered Cinnamon Roll. It was so amazing, we even tried to make it ourselves. Two years later, we are back again for more.

While there is no dedicated car park, there is ample parking space in front of the houses that line Heybrook Drive.
