Amazing latte, great ambiance, and I found a movie soundtrack album I've never seen at larger stores, so 10/10 would recommend!

I would give this place 6 stars at least, if I could. The food is outstanding! The Reuben is a must have, one of the best ever!! So many fun things to explore. Great vinyls, fun mugs, great quality Tees, coffee, and more. The atmosphere is fantastic. Comfy seating both to eat and just enjoy a hot mug of coffee. The owners are amazing! . Love this place!

We are on a cross-country road trip and stumbled upon The Tin Snug. This, by far, has been hands down, the BEST breakfast food and coffee since we left Michigan. We had eggs, toast, red skin potatoes, and coffee. I was about to ask for salt and pepper since there wasn’t any on the table but, no need! It was seasoned to perfection. The toast was grilled, the potatoes (with onions and peppers) were so tasty and were not greasy or overdone. The coffee was delicious and strong, just what we needed before getting back on the road. The atmosphere is contemporary but also cozy. It was fun to be able to see breakfast being prepared. The bathroom is nicely decorated and so clean. At the back of the cafe is a vinyl shop with loads of great music to choose from. The staff was friendly and we had an enjoyable chat with one of the owners. This was our first stop in Idaho and it was a welcomed one. If we were locals, we’d be regulars. I have rarely ever been moved to write a review, but really felt the need to after this visit. Thank you, Tin Snug for the sustenance and ambiance. Bravo!

This place is a cozy and relaxing atmosphere! The fresh baked goods each day are wonderful, you cannot leave without trying one. The staff is so kind with great hospitality. The best place to spend good quality time with a friend or a date.

Excellent! We came for lunch after hiking the Polanski Tunnel Trail. The Reuben, Irish Cheese Steak, and turkey sandwiches were all some of the best we’ve had and certainly at the best prices we’ve seen in years. We came back later for ice cream and coffees. Between the food, beverages, and more than friendly and happy staff, The Tin Snug is hard to beat.

Such a fun little spot! Always the most friendly service and tasty food/coffee/tea. I adore this little spot!

I've come in here a few times and have always had a great experience, the reason for the review is that today I had maybe the best sandwich I've had in my life - the Irish cheesesteak. Wonderfully seasoned, great portion, excellent price - this is what other sandwiches should be compared to and is definitely something to be proud of. Service here was great as always, and it is a very cool place, but if you're in town and have never had an Irish cheese steak before, that should be the only reason you need.

Great coffee and incredible vinyl collection! I really appreciate the hard work that went into labeling each release in the store with pressing info, variant info, and accurate grading. This isn't just a coffee shop that happens to have some vinyl as an afterthought. It's a well laid out collection full of gems! I wish I had more time to dig, I'll be checking out their online store!
