What a charming little find in Alden! The Alden Muffin Tin feels like something out of a perfect summer day, rustic hardwood floors, beautiful flowers blooming everywhere outside, and that warm, welcoming small-town atmosphere that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile. The food and coffee were absolutely wonderful, and the setting is just as special as what's on the menu. Surrounded by nature and tucked into this beautiful lakeside town, it feels like one of those places you're lucky to discover. If you're anywhere near Torch Lake or Alden, put this little find on your list! It's charming, delicious, peaceful, and full of that quintessential Northern Michigan summer feeling. We loved it and will absolutely be back! read more

Cute. Small. They had coffee and pastries. Tiny patio and prices were okay for a tourist town. Coffee was just okay.

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 really wanted to love it here but was disappointed. The scones were terrible the consistency was all wrong and the muffins were ok but not great. The coffee was great which was nice. We didn't do sit down service so maybe that would have been better. read more

Food and service is excellent. Try the muffin french toast or grilled cheese & tomato soup. 5/5 stars. read more

Pleasant outdoor seating. Creative menu. Caring servers. Reasonable prices. We usually get some of their muffins "for later."

Was here over the summer and had great service both times. Muffin was amazing and coffee was pretty good as well. Prices are on par with the area. Wish there were more places to sit inside as it felt crowded and was raining outside. 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

This was a GREAT meal! I want to come back way more often when we're in Bellaire; I can't believe it took this long to try it out! I had a quiche and a birthday cake "muffin" (it was definitely a cupcake, lol) and both were incredible. My boyfriend got the salmon bagel sandwich and also said it was really, really good. They also have a deck outside for outdoor dining when the weather is nice. We will definitely be back! read more

Alden Muffin Tin - Menu for lunch. - Bakeries Near Me - Alden, Michigan

This little shop is great! Their coffee is some of the smoothest coffee I've had in a really long time. We had a tomato soup, which was nice; a tarragon chicken salad sandwich which was very tasty, a quiche lorraine that was excellent and an assortment muffins which were tasty but didn't wow us. The oatmeal chocolate chip cookie however is phenomenal! read more

Wonderful breakfast! They were able to accommodate our son's dairy allergy. Bagel sandwiches and quiche were delicious. The muffins were phenomenal! We brought home 6 giant cookies with great texture! read more

No complains about their food and coffee!! I love the vibe of it. If I could change anything, it would just be the water, I think it's well water, otherwise, great place! I always stop here when I'm in town. read more

We were 4 adults and 4 small hangry children that descended on them for lunch today. Not only was the food DELICIOUS, the service was so kind and helpful. The cocktails were a treat as well. We will definitely be returning! read more

Cute little place. My daughter had the waffle and enjoyed it. I had the gluten free bagel and gluten free muffin, both were tasty.

The Muffin Tin is not what it once was. Disappointing selection of muffins on most days. It seems they don't understand that the muffins that sell out are popular and they should make more! Plenty of oat muffins in the case if you are looking for a boring breakfast. Staff is lackluster and not the most gracious. read more
