The Buttered Tin St. Paul (lowertown)

We visited this charming little bakery in the lower town for the first time, and we absolutely loved it! The food was incredibly fresh, and the service was outstanding. The owner even gave us some delicious melt-in-your-mouth treats to take home for free as they were closing, not wanting them to go to waste. I highly recommend this place!

Fantastic spot for brunch! My partner and I visited around 1 PM, and it was quite busy, so we opted to sit outside. The staff were friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and arrived reasonably quickly. The mimosa flights were excellent as well, with a generous size for each selection. The only minor issue was that I received the wrong type of meat (bacon instead of sausage patties), but I was too hungry to say anything. This place has a casual, self-serve vibe, which I appreciate, so don’t expect to be checked on constantly.

We ordered the lavender lemon mimosas, which had a unique and bold flavor. The caramel roll was absolutely amazing, and the iced caramel latte was delightful! I had the buttered tin hash, and my only complaint was that the roast was a bit dry. My friend really enjoyed the huevos rancheros, although she did encounter a decent-sized eggshell. Despite that, she loved the dish overall.

Food is amazing and they bake everything in house, make sure to get a caramel roll or biscuits, both are great. They have different specials every day which tend to be very good in addition to a solid breakfast and lunch menu. Diner style place. Youorder at the counter and your food is brought to your table (you seat yourself). They've added a lot more seating of late andsome patio seating as well.

While the portions are generous, the combination of high prices, cramped space, and long wait times can make you crave a simple, traditional breakfast without the extras, which isn't what this place offers. Surprisingly, when our food arrived, we were left without silverware, so we had to wait for service to bring us some. With a 20% surcharge already included in the bill, it seems this restaurant has a target clientele in mind.
