Jamsen’s Bakery is a quaint boat shack coffee shoppe & bakery that’s a must try if you’re staying in Copper Harbor. I recently stayed at Trails End Campground 5 minutes west and like many others stopped here waiting to board the ferry traveling to Isle Royal. I ordered a medium roast coffee, the native thimbleberry glazed donut, and a sausage, egg & cheese biscuit sandwich. Everything was delicious and the view of Lake Superior made it that much better. Definitely recommend and look forward to it on your next visit to Copper Harbor.
We absolutely loved this little coffee shop and bakery located right on the water of Copper Harbor. They have a walk up window to order and some picnic tables to sit at We were able to park our class C camper right up close which was nice. They also mentioned that you can park pretty much on any street without any trouble. We ordered a couple coffees and some of their donuts and pastries. Their donuts were especially delicious as they use thimbleberry frosting which was unique; they even have Finnish pancakes which were great. The view from here are is serene and beautiful. Very close to where the ferry leaves.
Great pastries and great coffee. Nice waterfront location to boot. The wild thimbleberry turnover pronounced excellent. I had pannukakku (Finnish pancake) topped with the thimbleberry jam. A custardly treat that should have been reheated just a little more but was still awesome. The black coffees strong and flavorful as promised.

After the long drive, this was the perfect spot for a cup of coffee. A thimbleberry glazed donut was on the menu with other bakery items with a local spin.
It’s not fancy—a walk up window with picnic tables and a fabulous view.
I will always make this my first stop. It’s not far from the campground which is something to note!
Great bakery with great views. Right next to the dock for the boat to Isle Royale. The chocolate cake thimbleberry frosted donut and the cheddar bacon chive scone were fantastic. Great coffee, too. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area.
Great bakery at the ferry boat dock! Line moves quick. Thimble frosted donuts and Michigan blueberry muffins were great. Coffee hot!
Jamsen’s is THE place to grab a quick breakfast while you’re in Copper Harbor.
The thimbleberry cake and the CBC scone were our favorites, we’d always have them as long as they were not sold out. Coffee and the biscuit sandwich were delicious as well!
The place has a couple picnic tables with a really nice, calm view of Lake Superior.
Can't wait to go back <3
Fast service. Inexpensive pasties, pricey breakfast sandwich. The decaf coffee was fine. The thimbleberry icing on the donut tasted mostly of vanilla. Great morning views by the water.
I had an excellent cup of coffee, and totally yummy cake donut with THIMBLEBERRY FROSTING! Also, probably one of the best spots for sunrise in Copper Harbor. Thank you for a wonderful morning!
I wish we could have caught them open, but we ran to a few gentlemen prepping for the season, and they indeed pointed us in the right direction. It was a great experience going to the northernmost point of our Michigan Air Force territory. Thank You Again!!!
