"The second its doors opened in St. Paul’s Lowertown, the Buttered Tin became a local breakfast favorite. Here, old-school breakfast favorites are given new life: Try a Benedict made with Lake Superior walleye, hot honey apple French Toast, or a smothered breakfast burrito. The Buttered Tin also serves boozy breakfast drinks." - Justine Jones, Stacy Brooks
"The layer cakes at the Buttered Tin are the platonic ideal of a birthday cake — the moist layers are held together with generous frosting. The hot fudge sundae cake is an exuberant confection topped with dark chocolate ganache, whipped cream, sprinkles, and cherries, and the TBT Ho Ho is a massive, gourmet version of the childhood treat. For a more subdued dessert, try the delicately-flavored lemon drop cake garnished with edible flowers." - Stacy Brooks, Eater Staff
"Breakfast, lunch, and brunch are all served St. Paul’s Lowertown location (brunch on weekends). The daily soft scramble is always a good bet, and the pastry case provides plenty of choices for kids with small appetites. (Cupcake Wars winner Alicia Hinze’s enticing treats might catch their eye.)" - Alex Lodner, Eater Staff
