    Was just here last night for dinner and dessert and it was one of the best dining experiences I've had in quite some time. The workers were all so wonderful and very friendly, I ordered the cranberry almond chicken wrap and let me just say it certainly did not disappoint! My boyfriend ordered one of their salads, which was also very delicious and our wait time for the food to come out was prompt. And of course their ice cream was delicious, as it always is! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and very clean! I also really enjoyed hearing some of my top favorite worship songs while enjoying my meal. I can't wait to come back again, and I highly recommend giving it a try!

    What a cute spot to enjoy coffee and brunch with a friend or family member! My daughter and I wanted to try this spot while I was visiting from another state. We knew we wanted breakfast and hot drinks. We both tried the "tater bowl" and were NOT disappointed! It came out hot and perfectly cooked. My daughter loved her hot cocoa and I opted for a strawberry vanilla "low calorie hot latte"- SF syrups and almond milk. The woman who greeted us, took our order and walked around checking on everyone was very kind and personable. She seemed to be very passionate and genuinely cared about the guests. I feel she may have been the owner. The esthetic is very sheek and cafe-esque. I love that they are raising awareness of human trafficking. I definitely support their vision. I'll be back next time I'm in the area. Side note- they offer a loyalty program :)

    A ice cream lovers dream! Tin Roof Cafe n Sweets Upon walking in, the place is so beautiful and the service filled with cheer. You may choose your cup and fill it up with whatever soft serve ice cream/ custard ice cream you want and or get served and choose the ice cream at the counter. Then proceed to the toppings buffet to finish out your sundae cup. They also have food if you're looking for a bite to eat and finish with a delicious sundae treat. Our new favorite place to have some ice cream!

    I hadn’t heard of this place until today. I was in the area working and so my wife and I decided to try it. Holyyyyyy shnikees this place blew me away! The best ham and cheese sandwich I’ve had in a decade. Tin Roof Cafe has a really clean and chill atmosphere. The staff were kind and professional. Overall great experience. I highly recommend coming here if you’re considering it.

    Very pleasant atmosphere, good food, friendly service. We stopped by for dinner. It has a typical small coffee shop feel. The layout is open with a few tables and a set of sofas to relax on. It is well lit and pleasant, with background music that is soft enough to allow for conversation, but loud enough to hear. Service was very friendly - nice people. I got a Cobb salad, which was beautifully presented, although the bowl didn't leave much room to mix my salad together. They only gave me one little cup of dressing, but told me to ask for more if I needed it. I have mixed opinions on that. On one hand it is good to avoid waste and as a result I probably used less dressing (better for my health). On the other hand, I did need to go and ask for another, and probably could have done with three. The salad was good - not the best I've had but fresh and good combination of flavors. My wife got the grilled bacon chicken wrap, once again ending up with the better dish (how does she do that every time?). It was very good. Flavorful, warm, with melted cheese. She got fries on the side which had very good crunch and flavor. Could have used a bit more salt, but not so much to make me get up and get salt from the condiment area (again probably better for my health - if you can say that about fries). Next time I'll try their ice cream and toppings bar, but this time we were too full to try that out. It looked wonderful. Prices were normal to slightly on the high side for me, but still reasonable. Overall, great place. We'll be back.

    First time here. I loved the Christmas decorations and menu. I had chicken bacon ranch wrap and a sticky bun latte, so good. I will definitely come back.

    Love this place! Been here 3 times in the last couple of months. Food is always good, staff is always friendly and things are fairly priced. Today I spoke with Renee, I think she’s one of the managers/owners. She was willing to go above and beyond to talk to me about gluten free options. I will definitely be back again.
