    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.

    Chicken pot pie

    Such a cute place, food was amazing, and our server was very friendly and so helpful. My chicken pot pie was so delicious. If you go soon, check out the bathroom

    Delicious food! Service a little haphazard but it's a quaint hole in the wall. Cash only so don't forget! Will be back. Closed Sundays.

    What amazing treat just came back from my workout. I walked to the beach and on the way to the beach. I passed the Tin muffin cafe and I said I have to come back the staff the owner this place is filled with Love and you Feel like you went back in time and you feel like your grandpa or grandma made you breakfast and lunch. I just had a chicken salad sandwich. I actually had a half a tuna and a half of chicken salad sandwich And everything was five stars and then they surprise me with some beautiful dessert Brett thank you so much and thank you so much for your team and this place is the best.

    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 !

    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

    Would definitely come back, coffee was terrific with a hint of vanilla! I usually Love avocado toast but this version has an olive oil before and after taste. Not to my liking but the presentation,salad and fruit was delish!! Went with a friend, staff very friendly! Fun atmosphere for a lunch time experience with a friend in Boca!

    The most scrumptious pumpkin cheesecake and DELICIOUS coffee

    It's like we walked into an episode of Gilmore Girls. An amazing chicken salad sandwich and fantastically yummy gazpacho soup!!! Oh and their iced tea is sublime

    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!

    Festive and pretty place for a holiday lunch!

    YES! YES! YES! YES AGAIN!…read more My boyfriend and I had date night last Saturday, and it was our first time dining here. The staff was really nice, the restaurant was super clean, and the ingredients were fresh. I had the spicy Taiwanese soup base. My boyfriend had the Coconut Tom Yum. We enjoyed a nice selection of different meats such as pork, lamb, and beef. Seafood options include shrimp, squid, and octopus. Quail eggs, frog legs (if you're into that :), and tofu. The conveyor belt was super fun because you could watch it as it went by and pick up whatever garnishes you wanted. Green onions, mushrooms, parsley, cilantro, cauliflower ... I could go on and on. We also had dessert. My favorite is the red bean and macha ice cream! Can't wait to go back! ***ALSO order the tea***

    This place is in a outdoor shopping plaza. Plenty of parking lot parking. We came at about 5:30 on…read morea Saturday and we're seated right away but by the time we left around 6:30 the place was poppin' and there was definitely a wait. This place offers a set price for Hot pot and is buffets style as well as conveyor belt delivery for veggies; you just swipe what you want. You start by picking a soup of choice and then you gather the food you need, cook it yourself in the pot and there are instructions and available on the wall for cooking times. It's relatively straightforward. Be careful with how much you grab as they will charge you for any excessive leftovers. I got the tom kha and my fiance got the tom yum. He found his soup to be a little on the lemony side for his taste but I think that's just a preference not a reflection of the quality of the soup. I loved my coconutty tom kha. Our waiter showed us how to operate the dial and gave us information about cooking time recommendation. We ordered some hot tea and had a wonderful time. The buffet appeared to be clean and the food fresh and well kept. I tried a variety of meat as well as seafood. The shrimp had a little bit of a previously frozen kind of taste but the scallops were excellent. I think in the end I'm not a big fan of the red meat even though it cooks quickly and tastes fine I just think preference wise I more so enjoyed loading up on the vegetables and noodles. The best thing I had there was the gyoza, so freaking good, highly recommend. It is worth noting that my fiance love the meat, so the great thing about this place is the variety and how multiple people can sit down and enjoy what they like, together. Drop by!

I ordered an omelet with bacon, tomatoes, and cheddar, along with well-done hash browns and a scooped, toasted everything bagel with scallion cream cheese. My best friend got a whole wheat everything egg sandwich with American cheese. The bagels are perfectly baked--crispy on the outside and soft in the middle.

Nothing else in that whole Mizner-adjacent area was open yet -- not even the diner down the block, which doesn't start serving until 7. The bagels looked pale, so I asked if they baked onsite. Answer: no, the fresh bagels usually get delivered later in the morning. That immediately told me everything I needed to know and saved me from making a bad decision. The bakery case looked decent enough -- black and white cookies, pastries, etc. -- but since nothing is actually made there, I have to assume most of it was yesterday's inventory. Ended up ordering a Taylor ham, egg and cheese on a Kaiser with a large coffee. Fifteen bucks. Look, I understand East Boca commercial rents are insane, especially anywhere remotely near Mizner. But $15 for a breakfast sandwich and coffee from a place that isn't even baking its own bagels is absolute highway robbery. To be fair, the sandwich itself was solid. The Taylor ham ratio was right, eggs were fresh, and the Kaiser roll held up. But the whole operation feels less like a real bagel shop and more like an early-morning survival outpost for caffeine-deprived Boca commuters.

I ordered a classic breakfast with eggs, bacon, home fries, and pancakes, and it was underwhelming across the board. Our waiter mentioned he's rarely seen anyone finish it, and I'm not convinced that's due to the portion size. Nice atmosphere, but the food could use improvement.
