“ Adorable cafe with tasty treats right along the commuter rail. The interior looks like a historic train station still, and they have this phenomenal granola called Maple and Time. Their tea is, I believe, kilogram tea. My one complaint was that there was a customer there with a toddler, who was pleasantly going up to people and saying high and wandering the whole space. I backed away and told the woman that I have brittle bones and was anxious when her son came toddling quickly over to me (I get hurt moving the wrong way, and cats and kiddos have dislocated hips and sprained ankles as I have Ehlers Danlos syndrome). The woman said “no worries,” and proceeded to do nothing about her kid following me. I was waiting for food, otherwise I would have left (and I almost left anyway, because my safety is more important than a sandwich). I went to the opposite side of the cafe with a shelf in between me and the kid, but he kept trying to run around the shelf to get to me. The mom finally got up and got her kid and I said “I don’t know why he likes me so much.” She said “I don’t know either, but that isn’t a bad thing.” And said it kind of annoyed. I had been clear that I have a disability and need to stay safe, and it really bothered me that I had to play ring-around-the-rosie and get anxious and stressed rather than relaxed over coffee. That isn’t the store clerks fault, but it made me not want to come back, lest I be in that unsafe position again. That said, it is such a cute space and fully accessible (ramp and everything). Plenty of parking too, as it is right beside the commuter rail. ”
“ We had a very nice time today at this quaint coffee shop. Our coffee was fresh and delicious. Our food was delicious and hit the spot on a rainy day. Olivia was charming and very personable. The team was very friendly and accommodating. We will be back for another visit! Thank you! ”
“ Copper City Espresso - in the Canton Junction Depot, a beautiful historic building - is my favorite south shore coffee spot. The coffee, espresso drinks, and breakfast treats are superlative. The staff are friendly and efficient, and my favorite part is the charm an old building like this has. Tall ceilings, lovely details throughout, cool doors and windows and retro bathrooms, and a couple of separate areas to sit and work or have a chat. If you’re at all a train enthusiast and appreciate good coffee, this is the place; you can watch the commuter trains come and go and witness the occasional Acela train absolutely fly by on the center track. ”
“ Superb coffee and gluten free toast with jelly. The oat latte was a smooth chocolate flavor and the baristas and staff were great. ”
“ Had working training in the area so figured I try this place. Pleasantly surprised by a real fried egg sandwich that wasn't premade or microwaved. The breakfast sandwich and coffee were both very good. Highly recommend ”
“ Leave it to Canton to have this cool, hidden gem at the commuter rail station. Incredibly cool - cozy but a good amount of seating. The space alone is worth the visit - a repurposed old train station into a cafe??? Come on! Immaculate! But the food and coffee was excellent, the service wonderful!!! Thanks for a great morning! ”
“ The atmosphere of an historic train station is incredible and the manager is extremely knowledgeable of the coffee they have on hand. He’s able to get you any coffee beans they brew and bag for you specifically to your tastes/what roast level you enjoy. I would recommend to anyone looking for an incredible locally roasted cup of coffee ”
“ This is my go-to coffee shop in the area because I have received consistently excellent service and top-notch coffee for years now. Even if you're a coffee nerd, you will love their espresso shots, pour-overs or anything else they offer. Highly recommended. ”
