Tin Bin Alley is my grand- daughter's favorite little shop. We stop by a few times a month and she is as excited each time as if it were her first visit ❤️. The home made chocolates are her favorite. Their fudge is delicious, and we always make room for an ice cream cone. The shop is bright and amazing to walk into. The employees are always so friendly and helpful.

I called looking Cooperstown winter carnival buttons for my collection. The lady who answered the phone was very friendly and even offered some ideas of places to check. 5 star customer service. Thanks again

What a wonderful store! They have the best souvenirs, from mugs and candles, to stylish bags and the funniest socks and dish towels. Oh, and they have ice cream and little pastries too!

Cute kitschy place to go visit. Has a good mix of Knick knacks. There is a good chocolate assortment to buy. However nothing really struck me as a must buy.

I come to this shop every once in awhile as I live in cooperstown. I love their fudge there its pretty good in my opinion. However, their candies and store items are in fact a bit expensive I'm not gonna lie. If i could give them one piece of advice it would be to lower your prices! Their items are almost 4x the price of any other store, but it is Cooperstown and prices do tend to be a bit high especially during the baseball season. The only thing I can really say is be prepared to spend some money....

This is the best little shop in Cooperstown Lil' Main Street. The staff is friendly and helpful, easy going and not stalking you like she just spotted you in Unsolved Mysteries. There are things to get in all price ranges and plenty of Cooperstown Swag and just neat Swag you can get for any occasion.

But the star of this place is the Ice Cream. There is an uncanny amount of ice cream shops in Cooperstown. Not sure if there is a permanent vortex of sub Saharan hot air being pumped into the Town. But their ice cream was creamy, not airy and delicious.

Our family of 4 tried 3 different flavors of ice cream. They were all so good, we couldn't decide which one was best. Super friendly service. We will be back again!

This is easily the cutest store I have been to. There is a walrus plushie that greets you as you walk in, and there are socks with curses censored out with tape by the store owners. They sell ice cream in a multitude of flavors, and is so sweet and creamy. The cone is the perfect crunchy texture, and is perfect after dinner or as a desert.

This place is great! The owner is very nice a welcoming. The fudge is very good. We got a kick out of the beer and wine fudge! Great tasting too. The raspberry cheesecake fudge is the best. We will definitely stop in every time we visit Cooperstown!

Not only souvenirs, candy, chocolates and fudge. Amazing adventure awaits you when you enter this establishment. The wonderful woman who gave me a sample of fudge reminded me of my younger years. Wonderful place to explore.

My recent trip to Cooperstown was during the off season so many stores weren't open. I was very glad to find that this one was. A lot of cute Coops memorabilia and many adorable trinkets. The fudge is AMAZING! The woman who waited on me I believe was the owners Mother and she was super helpful. The only negative part is that is a bit pricey.

This place was cute and hella awesome. They had adorable little knick knacks in the back room, COOP memorabilia and fudge and candy! We got some great deals on Valentine's Candy, we were there like a week after. The fudge was AMAZING. I had beer fudge, infused with Ommegang brew. Sounds weird, but I loved it.

All in all, a great store. Amazing ice cream, good fudge, great candy. Quite overpriced, and during checkout, one of the (much) older employees had register troubles. Then, they began to bicker with one of the younger employees on how to fix it. Very unprofessional. Checkout took about 8 minutes, for 4 items.

File this one under "tourist trap." So long as you're OK with just looking around, Tin Bin Alley gets the job done. Buying any candy though? That's another story...overpriced tins, so-so fudge priced at $16/lb, and $18 for 6 truffles? No thanks. Their saving grace is a handful of area crafts and non-baseball souvenirs...

Nice candy store on main st in Cooperstown. They have a wide selection of candies (classics and newer ones) and chocolates, some of which they make in the store. They also have lots of knick knacks and crafts in the back of the store. It's nice to have a candy store in town and the beer fudge is pretty amazing!

Tin Bin Alley has been my favorite store in Cooperstown for the last 20 years! They have it all: retro candy, homemade chocolate and fudge, gifts, cards (extremely funny!), etc! (My personal favorite is the wide selection of Jelly Belly Jelly Bean flavors- especially tuttie frutti!)

The family who owns the place is friendly and happy to help with anything! The entire shop offers a very delightful shopping experience!
