The Buttered Tin - Smothered breakfast burrito and the Damn Good Breakfast sandwich - Bakeries Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

This is such a cute breakfast/ brunch spot. Great location on the corner and the vibe and atmosphere inside is so fun. You go up to the register to order your meal and then wait for it to be called out so you can go and grab it. They have lots of dining/ seating space. I got a club sandwich it was amazing I also tried the chicken tortilla soup which is also very great. For dessert I finished off one of the cinnamon rolls, they're to die for a must have. I would highly recommend this place! P.s. try the lavender lemonade you won't regret ! read more

I finally got the chance to try The Buttered Tin today for brunch with a friend. I've heard of this place a few times and was interested to see if it were any good. I have to admit seeing all of the reviews about their breakfast items being bland completely turned me off to breakfast so I tried the Chicken Salad Sandwich with a side cup of the Tomato Basil Soup, both of which were superb. The sandwich was perfect, chicken salad was moist and flavorful, even had crispy shallots which were a nice touch! This was some of the best tomato basil soup I've tried, packed with flavor, pretty thick, but fresh and even a little bit spicy. There were tons of flies swarming around the inside of the restaurant which made me gag. They could probably benefit from some pest control measures, flies were landing on their bakery items that were uncovered ... Overall, not the vibe. read more

Mellow atmosphere, light and airy. Breakfast was good. Sausage was over-seasoned for MY taste, I like my breakfast sausage relatively straight. Eggs were fine; hash browns good. Wheat toast was good, jam was very good. Coffee good. The yucky fruit garnish was a bit of a turn off. Service was Very fast. read more

The Sammie's were better than any biscuit sandwich I've had in the south--and that's saying something. The Thyme have it a nice touch. Pancakes with the bacon fat were not for me as it didn't like the flavor of the bacon fat and touch of cornmeal (just not my style). If you're going to order coffee, order a regular American coffee not a latte--it was weakly made and not at all strong. I had to order two shots of espresso to help it taste better. Server was very nice but the wait was very long as they may have been understaffed. 45 minutes to sit, even though there were empty tables. Heads up: 20% gratuity is already included in your bill. I'd come back to give their breakfast items another shot (just not the espresso). read more

Great brunch spot. You order at the counter and find a seat after your order is placed. Place is always pretty busy and you may be worried about seating, but by the time you are able to order, a table will have been cleared if you have a smaller group. I love the tomato basil soup- very flavorful and has a nice kick to it. I've also tried the biscuits and gravy, which was nice because it wasn't too heavy and you can really taste the sausage. The chicken salad sandwich is also amazing, and the cherry hand pie hits the spot. I definitely want to try the cinnamon bun and other menu items the next time I come. I've been twice so far and the experience has been fairly consistent. read more

Visited 7/5/23 (3.5/5 stars). It's been awhile since I've dined at Buttered Tin. Last time I was here they did table side servers and now it's order at the counter and find your own seating. I ordered the mimosa special and the biscuit breakfast sandwich. Service at the counter was solid. The sandwich itself was decent and I loved the pimento cheese and biscuit components, but the turkey sausage patty was a bit tougher and dryer and the sandwich would've been better with a different protein or just with egg. I know the house salad with vinaigrette is the signature here, but I do wish there were options for side substitutions written on the menu because I'm not a huge salad in the morning kind of person. read more

Ah the buttered tin. How I've longed to come back to you as a full fledged man worthy of your hospitality as opposed to my merely whimsical youth I last departed you with? The buttered tin. A staple of St Paul breakfasts. If you haven't gone, please do so. I first went back in 2019 when there was wait staff, but since then, the place has changed a little bit. For the better in this humble yelpers sincerest opinion. You order at the counter, receive your drinks and a number, then skip off to your choice of table or booth. All excellent options. Now, before I get to the food, I know..I know. You all are desperate to know my rating of the cappuccino. 4/5. Let's cut to the chase. Every cappuccino this place produces is excellent and let's be real, when you aren't making the cap it's that much better, am I right?! But it's good! I also felt adventurous and got a turmeric latte which is something I usually don't do. Fabulous. Exquisite. Delectable. It's different, but worth it! My biscuit sammi was great and on the smaller size which was preferred. Reason being is I had like half of my wife's breakfast burrito which was great! All the food was delicious. I did try our friends banana French toast which was super sweat!! Overall, this place is dope and a must if you're in St. Paul looking for breaky read more

This place is a true gem. Delicious bakery goods and an awesome menu. As the staff was bringing a variety of plates to different tables, every single dish I saw I wanted! I ordered the huevos rancheros Benedict and it was a delightfully creative dish marrying huevos rancheros and a traditional Benedict. Cornbread was used as the base instead of a muffin and it was so yummy. Service was quick and kind. It is a order at the counter and then bring to your table set up. Throughout our meal two different staff came to check in, which is usually not the case at places with the counter order set up. They had a big window where you could watch them decorate cakes which was fun. I would love to come back and try some bakery items next time! read more

The Buttered Tin - Huevos Rancheros Benedict - Bakeries Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

This place has lots of potential it you can get the bakery items fresh. We came in on a weekday morning. The cinnamon bun had a unique caramelized flavor, and the frosting was deliciously rich--not fake. Unfortunately, the dough tasted a little old, dry, and chewy. Dunking it in coffee helped. The biscuits and gravy sauce had great flavor, packed with herbs and large chunks of tasty sausage. The biscuits themselves also had very tasty seasonings. Unfortunately, the entire plate was served luke warm, and again, the biscuits texture was old and stale. I wonder if we were eating leftovers from the weekend? I had been here once before the pandemic and thought the food was slightly better quality then. Hoping it was just an off day. read more

Great place for brunch. The butter tin location can also be your weekend combo if you want to visit the St Paul Farmers Market. The breakfast items are good, environment is outstanding. Friendly staff and if you sit outside with your pup, you will be greeted with lots of other pups. We enjoyed our dinning experience there. read more

Our breakfast experience at this cute little spot was great! I had the bananas foster French toast, which might be the best I've ever had, and my husband had the pancakes with maple bacon butter which he also enjoyed. The service model is clever, order at the counter and then seat yourself and they bring it out. It was quick and friendly. I would go again in a minute! read more

This used to be a good breakfast jones spot (before Covid). We swung by to grab some goodies one morning (just pastries). We waited in line but when it was our turn, we somehow must have become invisible! Two servers stood behind the counter, talking to each other and ignoring us. Perhaps this was their training time? Hmmmm...not MN nice Butt Tin. Currently, they are charging a "Reasonable Living Surcharge" of 20% on ALL of their items. Usually, I'm happy to help everyone make it BUT NOT servers who can't bother to at least acknowledge customers who have been patiently waiting. At least eye contact. Our total was $15.73 for 2 cupcakes & a cherry turnover. Hopefully, they can improve their service to earn the 20% surcharge. read more

Extraordinary breakfast spot! There's lots of seating inside, and expect long lines if you go in the morning on weekends. The crab cake benedict was out of this world. The poached eggs were absolutely perfect! They were runny when you cut into them, but they didn't just absolutely explode like a bubble. The Yolk slowly oozed from the center. read more

Holy cow was this place good! Almost makes me wish I lived here again. We had the pot roast hash with egg and the pot roast sandwich so not a lot of variety to share with you, but what we did have was over the top amazing! Everything and I mean everything here is made from scratch with tons of love. Seriously you can taste the love they put into their craft. I cannot wait to come back to this charming space after their remodel to check it out. There seems to be plenty of metered parking for this breakfast/lunch spot so no excuses! read more

The food was tasty. We split the daily special that came with a side upscale salad, split a cinnamon roll with cream cheese frosting and each of us had a large OJ. The total came to $42.24.

Maybe breakfast is better, but the lunch was very overpriced for the quality of food. We did takeout and it took longer than estimated. We ate less than 5 minutes later and the food was already cold and soggy. Pretty disappointing overall read more

Always an amazing spot for breakfast! No reservations as it is an order at the counter and first come first serve seating. We arrived around 830-9 and got a table right away, but when we left around 1030 there was a long line at the counter. The food itself was tasty good portioned. Diner vibes minus the counter. Street parking. read more

I'm a huge brunch fan so I was excited to try a new brunch place! We came on a Sunday with a party of 6. To my surprise we didn't wait long to be seated - maybe 5 minutes. The menu is pretty unique with many different options: breakfast sandwiches, a seasonal choice, your typical American breakfast, and so on. I went with the Banana Foster French Toast since I've never seen that on any menu before. It was very flavorful and very filling for a brunch meal! I did find it a bit odd that our meals all came out at different times. My meal was one of the first out so by the time all of our dishes were served, my French toast was a bit soggy. As much as I liked my breakfast, it was drenched in caramel sauce which made it a tad too sweet for me. Just a few things to note for your trip here - there isn't a parking lot, so street parking might be your best bet. Also, they tack on a 5% fee/surcharge onto each order, but mention that it is not gratuity so it was a bit confusing as to whether or not an additional tip was necessary. Overall, I would probably come back but not regularly. read more

It'd been a long time since I last went to Buttered Tin, but they continue to put out bangers. I got the loaded hash browns, which features different ingredients as a daily special. Today was tomato and mozzarella, which had a pesto hollandaise. It was super tasty and a little decadent. Plus, kudos to them, because it takes a lot for me to enjoy a salad for breakfast, and they did it. read more

Receipe for a perfect Saturday morning in Saint Paul. A sunny warm day, hop on your bike, a stop for fresh flowers at the Saint Paul Farmers Market, an outdoor table at the Buttered Tin, retro jazz music playing on Pandora, the walleye egg Benedict, rich, a little heat, a touch of pickled and those addictive home fries, finish with a deep dark roast mug of steaming coffee. Perfection. read more

I've been a handful of times and each time I've ordered the biscuits with gravy. It's always good, flavorful, a good amount of gravy, and the egg poached well. I'm glad they've expanded the place as it makes finding a table a bit easier. Granted weekends are still tough, but imagine how much harder it was before. The coffee is always good, and like most places includes free refills. What's nice is they don't mind putting that last fill in a to cup. Overall nice breakfast spot! read more

I like going to this place for lunch. I've had their lemonade and I can say it tastes very concentrated. The cinnamon roll with cream cheese frosting is also delicious.

I think I am being generous with two stars. Bacon is burnt to a crisp, sausage Pattie's could be used for hockey pucks. Eggs were cooked well as were the hash browns. Sausage gravy had a ton of turkey sausage which means it had no flavor. Order from the counter, self serve coffee and water The "fresh fruit" is anything but. Hard pass. I should add, $60 for breakfast for two is a bit much. read more

You can taste the quality of a restaurant by its simple less expensive offerings such as the hot quinoa cereal in fruit dusted with cinnamon sugar. It sounds too healthy but it's actually tasty. The granola & yougurt was really good for 2 reasons. The yogurt was not sour and the fruits complimented it well. Both were under $8 The next too were heavy entrees The buttered tin hash is a good dish. It's served with 2 slices of toast buttered & jammed. It comes with potatoes, onion, red pepper, egg and sausage in a skillet. It is savory, salty and provides variety in each bite. The biscuits with gravy is better than average because the biscuit does not crumble easily which means you get to taste the biscuits on its own as opposed to it just blending in with all the other ingredients and that's a good thing. I would come back here. read more
