Coffee and Bagel Day
Hey friends,
Due to hurricane Irene we couldn’t get our regular bread delivery today.
Dont worry - we are still open - but only offer bagels, coffee and salads.
Everything should be completely up and running tomorrow.
See you around

GOOD TIMES: Re-opening night.
There were times when we were sad
There were times when we were glad
After a month-long wait,
time had reached opening date.
After four weeks of intense work, we finally re-opened yesterday.
We lack the words to describe the excitement that the opening entailed. But, least said, It was quite touching to see all of you pour into Tiny’s; to see all of you enjoy your sandwich...
WE ARE RE-OPENING THIS AFTERNOON!
Ok guys, this is it. At 5PM today, the wait is over.
Please come by say hi, have your regular spicy rizzak, or a bunch of new stuff. That’s right, after staying the same for twelve years, we did add bunch of new stuff.
The only way to find out what , is to stop by.
We have been missing you. A lot.

What's going on?
Hey.
This is a post that’s not to update you about construction. Or… Sorry… Don’t get me wrong… Let’s say it’s about some other kind of construction, more like a creation.
At the same time as we are building in our shop, we are working on building other stuff that will be there when we open. Today, a series of tests were conducted in a downtown location.
Can you...
Progress report 2
He-hey, again.
Here’s a small update.
Paint job is done and today something fun happened.
We know our name is funny but other than our giant sandwiches for a relatively tiny price, we haven’t really made reason for it. Well, friends, that is about to change.
Tiny giant is a fun word combination and so we thought we would make a statement by placing something that would be...
A Tiny Progress Report
Hey friends,
We thought we would ease your pain and hunger by revealing the immense progress that is being conducted in Tiny’s right now.
Our hard work progresses quickly and we are sure we will open within the next ten days. We know it might sound like a long time, but the results will compensate for any inconvenience that has been caused.
Once again, you need not worry about our...
Spring cleaning
Dear friends, don’t worry…

If a salad and a sandwich were to shack up, the Veggiest of Them All would most likely be their offspring. Think of it as a portable salad with a whole grain bread wrapper.
