The Frog Pond moved out of that spot after being destroyed by Hurricane Helene last year, but has since opened two locations in St. Pete Beach and Redington Beach. <\/p>\n<p>The Copper Kettle is owned by\u00a0Alex Victorero, The Frog Pond\u2019s manager of eleven years. He and his wife and co-owner, Nikki, are keeping the comfort breakfast food tradition alive with an extensive breakfast and brunch menu including seven egg omelets, platters, waffles, bennedicts, quiche, crepes, smashburgers, sandwiches and much more. <\/p>\n<p>The Copper Kettle is open from 7 a.m.-2 p.m. Monday-Saturday and 8 a.m.-2 p.m. on Sundays.
