About
What it's like
A breakfast and lunch restaurant that opened in December 2025 in the Gulf Blvd building the Frog Pond left after Hurricane Helene. The menu covers omelets, platters, waffles, Benedicts, quiche and crepes, plus smashburgers and sandwiches later in the day. The owners say community requests shaped the menu, and it includes deli-style touches such as lox and blintzes.

The story
How it got here
Owners Alex and Nikki Victorero opened it after Alex spent 11 years managing the Frog Pond in this building. They could not get the Frog Pond name, so they started fresh as The Copper Kettle.
Helene & Milton, 2024
Since the storms
The Frog Pond's space here was wrecked by Hurricane Helene; it was rebuilt and reopened as The Copper Kettle in December 2025.
