This place was cutie batoodie. I had the gf muffins and bagel. I also had the quiche. All was so good. I also had both a hot and cold latte. They could definitely work on their micro foaming, but, hey, say la vie. I drank the latte on my pontoon, which was elite vibes, so let's not get that twisted. It was still good. The service was great and the waitresses were very considerate. read more

I was excited to try this place while vacationing near Alden. We drove past the Muffin Tin on the weekend and noticed a line out the door, so we decided to come back on a weekday. I ordered the quiche with roasted tomatoes, and it was out of this world delicious. My husband and daughter got waffles with fruit and bacon. The waffles were tasty, but very rich and a bit too greasy for my husband's liking. I would not recommend adding on bacon or fruit if you come here. It's a pricy add on and the quality wasn't great on these items. The bacon didn't look fresh and it tasted like it was heated up in a microwave. The fruit was going bad, and it was mostly made of green grapes. The orange juice is expensive and we literally saw the server open a bottle of Tropicana and pour it into a glass behind the bar (and we were charged extra for a refill lol). We spent 8 dollars on two cups of OJ. The service and atmosphere is lovely, I just wasn't "wowed" by the quality and value of things for how much we spent on breakfast. This was one of the most expensive meals during our trip and it fell way short of expectations. read more

More than just muffins---well worth a stop on your next trip around Torch Lake! In addition to muffins, this iconic little Alden joint offers a delicious selection of coffee/tea drinks, as well as a terrific lunch menu! My family has been enjoying the Muffin Tin for many years and it just would not be Helena Street without it. Owners Butch and Cindy are a delight, their food is terrific, and visiting is a highlight of trips to our favorite Torch Lake town. In the past couple of years, we've really grown to love eating lunch on their deck (which I swear has the best view in the whole town). The wait staff is friendly as can be and the menu is always sure to hit the spot. Or just grab a drink and set up in the cafe to read, work, and watch the people go by! read more
