Fort Lupton breakfast spot inspired by Dad’s restaurant

The Copper Hen celebrated its grand opening with a ribbon-cutting for a new restaurant and opened its doors in Fort Lupton on Nov. 7, offering a variety of comfort food.

“We have lived in Fort Lupton and built and grown our family here since 2017. Opening a business in the community we call home makes this venture especially meaningful to us,” Lizeth Gomez said.

The Copper Hen staff cuts a ribbon to celebrate their grand opening with Fort Lupton Councilman Claud Hanes and the Fort Lupton Chamber of Commerce. Fort Lupton Chamber of Commerce Gomez and her husband Richard Garcia officially opened the breakfast spot Oct. 30.

She said the inspiration behind the Copper Hen comes from both her upbringing and her personal love of coffee and breakfast. Her dad owned a Mexican restaurant in Brighton for about 15 years.

“I spent my teenage years working there,” she said. ”Growing up in that environment shaped my work ethic as I became a nurse, but it also left a soft spot for the restaurant industry.”

The Copper Hen specializes in breakfast fare that combines Mexican-inspired dishes, classic American comfort food, and handcrafted specialty coffees.

“More than anything, we wanted to create a welcoming place where people could enjoy a quick coffee in the morning, meet friends for brunch, or sit down for dinner with their families,” Gomez said.

“We’re incredibly grateful for the support and encouragement we’ve received from the community. Starting a new business is both exciting and challenging, and seeing people walk through our doors and enjoy something we’ve worked so hard to create means so much to us.”

The Copper Hen is open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Sunday. They are located at 737 N. Denver Ave.
