I was meeting a friend here for lunch - first stop was that it is very challenging to park here. No parking here because there were only a few spots and they were full. So I had to pay on the street! This was a bit annoying. Also don't forget to bring cash! I ordered chicken salad which was delicious - also comes with a muffin which I brought home. A very large portion indeed. We took our time with dining which was nice - we enjoyed it...no reservations ... read more

Always a pleasant experience. Lovely, friendly staff. The food is fresh and homemade. Everything is delicious. Save room for one of the in house made desserts (especially the chocolate cake). Be sure to take a trip to the "big" bathroom to see the seasonal decor. The little bathroom is worth a peak too. Bring cash. No credits cards are accepted here. Indoor and outdoor seating. Each table outside is like it's own oasis. The only downside of eating outside is that because the restaurant is not that large there is usually a wait for a table and people tend to "hover" while they are waiting to be seated. Street parking can be tricky to find at times. Restaurant hours are 11-4 Tuesday through Saturday. Closed Sunday and Monday. read more

Tin muffin is our go to! The servers are the absolute best and are super sweet and helpful! The food is phenomenal and they are constantly switching specials into the mix which keeps things fresh. The location is also perfect to sit outdoors and indoors the vibes are always great. Super unique spot in Boca unlike any other. Two tips if you're looking to try. Make sure to bring cash as they are a cash only establishment. read more

I really don't know why people think this place is that good, 4.5 stars is WAY over-rated. The food is just "plain vanilla". It's not bad, but nothing special. Plenty of places in Boca that are much better... read more

Stopped here for a late lunch before going to Mizner Park for a bit of shopping. The place is very quaint. While they were busy with many waiting for a table, it was well worth it in a sunny and breezy day. They had some amazing specials and everything was delicious. I opted for the chicken salad salad which came with a pumpkin muffin. The pepper vinaigrette was amazing. Other items ordered were post pie with salad and chicken pecan quiche with salad and a turkey sandwich with pea soup. Everyone really enjoyed their choices. The quiche was a decent size and the side salads were nice and fresh ! We shared a slice of banana cake and it was really good the cake was moist and the frosting was creamy and the right amount of sweetness. Our server Jennifer was awesome. She was cheerful, fun and smiled! Thank you Jennifer for taking good care of us! The bathroom was worth the visit too. Elaborately decorated for Valentine's Day. I hear they do an amazing Easter theme, Unfortunately, I'll be back in Ohio and won't see. Will check back on Yelp to see if anyone posts the next themed bathroom. Great place to visit ! Please note. They only take cash or check ! read more

Delicious menu, friendly service. On street parking easy. A little much eating lunch outside with all the traffic noise, but that was our choice. Excellent gazpacho, shrimp salad sandwich and fresh turkey breast. Yummy flourless chocolate cake. Just don't forget to bring cash (or check -check???). No credit cards allowed. read more

Lovely owners from Balto and most delicious food. Hard parking but worth the vibe and the delightful cafe

Decided to treat myself and have a lunch break every now and again. Walked on over to the Tin Muffin after getting several recommendations to try it. Cute little place with a family owned charm and warmth to it. We sat on-site and enjoyed the beautiful day. The street traffic is not too loud considering it's along palmetto. We had: *Chicken Salad Sandwich which was a good serving of Chicken salad on fresh bread. *Chicken Pecan Quiche my boyfriend said was absolutely delicious. One of the most unique quiches he's ever had. *Chicken Pot Pie was delicious as well *Chocolate cake was beautifully layered between the icing and cake. Not too sweet TIP go around any holiday! They decorate the bathroom to a whole nother level! OMG I wish I took a photo of their Christmas bathroom read more

Always so fresh and delicious! We have a million great restaurants in south Florida, but I find myself always craving Tin Muffin for the fresh, simple ingredients that are consistently delicious. I've been going for 3 decades and have literally never once had a meal or dish that was not perfection. It's a tiny little place that only takes cash, but once you eat there you'll be hooked. Anything you choose will be delicious but treat yourself to a slice of one of their homemade cakes if you want to treat yourself tastebuds to even more joy. read more

Tried The Tin Muffin Cafe for the first time today for lunch, and am so glad we did. Although small, they offer a delicious menu filled with homemade items from quiches to salads, soups, and of course desserts. My wife had the spinach & mushroom quiche, which was incredibly tasty, and I got the shrimp salad platter filled with incredibly fresh shrimp and vegetables paired with one of their homemade muffins, all beyond flavorful. The restaurant is small and intimate, but I think that's the value of it. Enjoyable place to hang out and indulge in great food. The service provided was attentive, quick, and helpful. This restaurant is CASH ONLY, so be prepared. TL; DR: The Tin Muffin Cafe offers healthy, fresh, remembrance-of-home, food with a quaint, yet vibrant atmosphere. Get yourself there! read more

If you read no further, know CASH ONLY! I have passed by many times and my friend Holly highly recommended The Tin Muffin to me, so I decided to stop by for a quick lunch after a movie in the area. They have very limited parking but on a weekday there was plenty of street parking and unlike Miami, it is all free. If you are looking for quaint and cozy, they have both in spades. The cafe is co-owned by Phillip Thomas and Brent Bartkow who were inspired to open the Tin Muffin from their families cooking. You can find it next to a jewelery shop on Palmetto Park Road, east of Downtown Boca Raton. Their motto is "Happiness is Homemade". Tin Muffin offers both outside and indoor seating. The menu is filled with the kind of food that ladies who lunch like, tea, lemonade, quiche, salads, pot pies, and sandwiches in an Americana decorating scheme. They have their regular menu plus a board of specials that had things on it like lobster rolls and chicken sandwiches. I started with the mint raspberry lemonade. It looked like a Florida sunset in a glass and was refreshing on this hot Florida day. For lunch I ordered the pot pie and salad special which came very quickly. A small steaming pot pie filled with creamy chicken and vegetables was accompanied by a lovely fresh salad with a delightful home made honey mustard dressing. The Tin Muffin Cafe seems to be very popular for their chicken salad. I saw several people come in to get it for takeout. You could take some to the beach a short drive away and have a wonderful beach picnic. I saw a chicken salad platter with their signature muffin delivered to another table and it looked so good I would order it next time. One thing I especially liked here is that they take a lot of care with presenting the food, with details like fresh fruit garnishes and arranging the food attractively to make everything look its most appealing. Everything was picture perfect and deliciously home made. I ended up taking a slice of their epic chocolate cake home with me. It was a dense fudgy delight. The service could not have been better. They were extremely attentive and everything was delivered quickly. They even made sure I had a refill of lemonade to take on the road with me which was very much appreciated when I had to get in my 100 plus degree car. Note, they will also take checks but I haven't written a check in years, probably around the same time I last used a payphone. This was a nice lunch treat and I want to come back to try that chicken salad! read more

I love this place!!! It has been years since my last visit, but we were in the area so I thought it would be a perfect spot to grab lunch...it was! The food here is fresh and delicious, feels so healthy and is beautifully presented. The staff is delightful and attentive. The decor is adorable on the inside but of course what you can't miss are the bathrooms!! The little one had a funny little snowman insulting me the whole time. The big one was spectacular, as you would expect, filled to the brim with holiday cheer. You can't miss this place!! read more

Another delicious lunch! I absolutely adore this cafe and looked forward to returning. I got the shrimp salad sandwich again as well as a bowl of tomato soup and finished every last bite. So good!!! I usually like to switch it up but was craving that sandwich again lol. The service was excellent and my food came out within minutes. I got the minted lemonade again as well, I can't think of a more refreshing drink on a hot summer day. I wish I lived closer but will always make a stop when I'm in the area! read more

Cute breakfast/lunch restaurant! I had a late lunch with two friends so we shared a few items. We ordered spinach & Swiss quiche- so good!! I had egg salad sandwich and tomato soup, my friend had the curry chicken salad, both good. Our meals came with a muffin that was fresh, warm and not overly sweet. The staff were all sincerely friendly. The menu is limited but they have a lot of daily specials so you will find something for everyone. The inside is very small so you might have to wait for a table but the outside dining is nice. When we went the bathroom was decorated top to bottom for Christmas. *cash only* read more

This place is so cute and delicious food and excellent friendly service. The portions were perfect size and plated so beautifully. It's a small but quaint place but has tables outside as well. I had called a few days ahead to see if they could accommodate 7and Jennifer said yes but we may have to wait a few minutes. The day of our luncheon Jennifer called me to confirm we were still coming and the table was waiting for us when we arrived. You have to check out the fun and unique restroom. It's one of a kind The only negative is parking, but don't give up on a spot, you won't be disappointed read more

Really extraordinarily noisy. Our food took almost an hour 2 b served. Level of concern 4 diners non- existent. My crab cakes were cold on the inside. They load ur plate with French fries. Had 2 wait 4 bartender 2 notice something was wrong. Obvious no one manages the kitchen. On my way out, went 2 ll adues room. The woman who I was waiting b4 me, said she would never go back. She waited almost an hour as well. If u want a good fish etc. restaurant which is more reasonable than this one, go to City Fish Market, J Alexander's or Outback. read more

On a return trip to Florida I stopped by the Tin Muffin, which was a weekly lunch place for my wife and me for years when we lived in Florida. I can't believe I have never written a review of the Tin Muffin, so let me just say I have never had anything at the Tin Muffin that was not wonderfully prepared and tasty. In addition to the amazing food and desserts the staff is terrific and friendly. Phil and Brent who are the co-owners take pride in everything they do including the seasonal decoration of the women's bathroom (a must look and see when in the restaurant). Go and enjoy a wonderful meal and don't forget to save room for one of the calorie worthy desserts. Of note, park on the street as navigation of the parking driveway is a bit of a challenge but one of the guys will gladly help you back out. Oh yea, it is CASH ONLY. read more

My first time trying The Tin Muffin Cafe and it did not disappoint and this restaurant has the nicest, friendliest and most embracing staff which really makes the quaint cafe a good choice for lunch. A sandwich we tried was fine but was served on what seemed like a very basic commercial bun. The fruit garnish accompanying the sandwich was really excellent and usually I don't eat much of the fruit (and view it as a plate filler) but here it was fresh and I don't know if it was just being in season luck but it was great. The Chicken Pot Pie may have been the best I ever had and I would go back just for that. We tried two of their recommended made in house cakes and I thought they were both a little too sweet (and yes I know this is subjective) but it almost overwhelmed the other ingredients. However the texture on both cakes was very good and the cream and fruit fillings were addictive. The restaurant is a little snug and when we were there it was full so it can feel a little tight. I love and support small local restaurants (well at least when they are good) and I will be going back. read more

Lovely spot for lunch in East Boca. My friend and I had a nice table outside under the awning. There are hanging and potted plants that make it very pretty. Service is friendly and attentive. We got our drinks right away and placed our order. They have daily specials that include quiche and soup. My friend said she always has the quiche which comes with a side salad. It looked great and was a large portion. I had the salad with shrimp salad and curried chiclen salad.l which was around $15. The salad was mixed greens with carrots, tomatoes, zucchini. The shrimp salad had large shrimp with artichokes and mayo. The curried chicken salad was delicious with big pieces of white meat. It comes with a muffin, too. Love their muffins. Overall, I was really happy with this cute little spot and will.come back soon. Parking can be challenging but just park on the street and walk. read more
