Fruity hand pies, cream-filled confections, and brunch
"Cupcake and hash brown fans have lined up every weekend since the Buttered Tin first opened in 2013. Breakfast is served all day, plus there’s a bakery counter filled with confections from owner and baker Alicia Hinze. Be sure to try the Twin Key, a scratch version of the famous Hostess snack cake. Online ordering is available for takeout." - Stacy Brooks
"A bakery noted for fruity hand pies and cream-filled 'Twinkey' confections, recommended as a final stop for pastries in Lowertown." - Stacy Brooks
"The second its doors opened in St. Paul’s Lowertown, the Buttered Tin became a local favorite for laid-back weekend brunches. Here, old-school brunch favorites are given new life: Try a Benedict made with Lake Superior walleye, banana foster French Toast, or a smothered breakfast burrito. The Buttered Tin also serves boozy brunch drinks, like Irish cream cold press, mimosas, and a sparkling rose, keeping things casual and comfy with counter service." - Justine Jones

"The layer cakes at the Buttered Tin are the platonic ideal of a birthday cake — the moist layers are held together with generous frosting. The hot fudge sundae cake is an exuberant confection topped with dark chocolate ganache, whipped cream, sprinkles, and cherries, and the TBT Ho Ho is a massive, gourmet version of the childhood treat. For a more subdued dessert, try the delicately-flavored lemon drop cake garnished with edible flowers." - Stacy Brooks
