PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE hire more staff in the mornings! Local and loyal customer for the last 3 years with Tinys tipping every time as I have worked in the service industry in the past. Had the worst interaction after waiting for a family of four all with specialized drinks to finish. It was just about my turn until an older white guy walked in and blatantly walks infront of me and starts gabbing it up with the cashier. I said excuse me sir “I’m in line” he proceeds to say yeah ok as to disregard I was there first. The cashier totally ignored the fact that I had been waiting behind the family. I have had multiple interactions in the past with this cashier so I didn’t understand the disconnect. He then proceeds to make the man’s drink who skipped the line while having a whole conversation about music and shows coming up which is fine but I literally just needed a drip coffee. I felt that I had to defend myself and speak up and the rude old dude tried to act like I was leaning on a vending machine when I spoke directly to him I was in line. The cashier was caught off guard and gave me a free drip but will definitely not be going back if they want to choose who they give vip service to and not. As a community coffee shop with a lot of people working in that area there needs to be a full staff especially with tourists of families visiting...
Read moreTiny's is just a good place to grab a good cup of coffee or depending on who is making food that day, a sandwich or a bagel. It is never "bad," but I am surprised at the variation in quality. I ordered the same hot sandwich there three days in a row and discovered the first time that it rivaled something amazing I would expect to taste at Lardo down the street. Another time it was just fine and after another... I haven't ordered it again, but we shall see. The staff is generally warmest to regulars in true Portland style, so they seem to get nicer the more you frequent and don't act like a dick. Hanging out there is like hanging out the a living room of some twenty something jobless hipsters with the equivalent furniture, so if that ain't your scene... better get it to go. It can be smokey out the front and back and have indecipherable art on the walls. Generally, I just like the place and enjoy the staff who can sometimes be chatty and humorously sarcastic as well as friendly. I...
Read moreSuch a cute coffee shop and definitely a hidden gem. I found this spot while strolling to get lunch and was immediately curious. I decided to stop by and tried their spicy mocha, which was delicious and really hit the spot. I got it hot, but you can also order it cold if you prefer.
There is good seating inside and excellent wifi, which makes it a great place for anyone who enjoys working from a coffee shop. The owner also has a tiny museum filled with miniature items, which I thought was incredibly cute. It's part of a community engagement project where people contribute their own style, making this place feel very welcoming and community-friendly.
The owner was really sweet and lovely to talk to. I can’t wait to come back again....
