Tiny Empire

Tiny indeed
i was craving my banana /​pb /​coconut water smoothie from juice generation but ended up stopping here instead. I got something that closely resembled what i was craving, and actually turned out to be better. This felt healthier — goji berry, almond butter, vanilla extract, coconut meat — with the added jazz. And, cheaper.
The staff was really friendly and more personable.

I was reluctant to try because all raw food/​juice venues seems the same: organic avenue, juice press, etc.
Pleasantly amazed. Tiny Empire’s prices are a bit less without compromising quality.
The raw offerings here are fresher & better tasting.
Staff is wonderful.

Like its sister in Brooklyn, this is an all around legit juice shop.
Tiny Empire excels in the smoothie department, where they are mixing up a lot of truly inspired creations. (#3 is my favorite) I think this place falls down a little bit in terms of the prepared foods, but it is well worth a stop if you are too far south for Liquiteria.
The juices are very solid, if not a bit run of the mill. Very cleansy, with lots of celery, parsley, ginger, and colloidal silver. Not a bad angle. But the smoothies are sick. #3 is Raspberries, Banana, Almond Butter, Raw Cacao, Dates & Almond Milk.
The #2, Blueberries, Banana, Spirulina, Raw Cacao, Maple Syrup & Almond Milk, and #10 Blueberries, Banana, La Colombe Coffee, Maca, Dates & Hemp Milk are also so amazing.
I have to say the oatmeal and acai bowls here are both kind of fatty and weird. But whatever, the smoothies are like when Full House is on and you start watching it and you just feel really glad, like time is something that barely exists, or does exist and just doesn’t matter compared to love.

Juice wars!
Tiny Empire just opened in an area of Lower Manhattan brimming with emulsified fruits and vegetables, but with the searing hot trend showing no signs of slowing down*, perhaps a rising tide raises all ships.
Tiny features some unique flavors I’ve yet to see at their competitors. Specifically their no. 7 with cucumber, dandelion, collards, kale, lime, cilantro, and jalapeño. Tell me where else you can find that combination of plants and I’ll eat my hat. It’s only happening here. Plus they feature both savory and sweet meals that are completely devoid of dairy or eggs, so if you’re vegan and have a hankering for «cheesecake», you have a new destination to satisfy your sweet tooth.
It’s right off the 6 train at Spring, so pop off and do something awesome for your body.
*no signs of slowing down unless you’re Organic Avenue. What the heck happened there?

Tiny Empire is an organic/​vegan/​gluten-​free/​juice-​cleaning/​delicious/​expensive spot in SoHo.
I am the anti-​juicer, craver of food in all its textures. So that I won’t comment on but MAN the smoothies! One of the girls there recommended the #3: raspberries, banana, almond butter, raw cacao, dates, and almond milk — it was delicious and perfectly creamy, with bits of dates and cacao nibs. Much like bubble tea, I prefer my drinks with some chew and this smoothie delivered it, subtly but just enough to satisfy me. Only downside– it was $ 10. But, I’ll order a $ 10 cocktail to make me equally happy (okay just slightly happier) and they did take a solid while to make it (I’m talking like 5x slower than Jamba speed), and it was delicious so just treat yourself accordingly.
And hey, they also have a delicious array of full-​chewable food/​snacks/​desserts that are the same price or less (guess that’s the idea). I tried the following and loved them all. The ingredients speak for themselves:
*Portobello Summer Roll* — Portobello Mushroom, Collards, Carrot, Cucumber, Daikon Radish, Lime, Basil, Cilantro, Sesame Oil, Tamari, Sriracha, Almond Butter, Garlic, Ginger, Rice Wine Vinegar, Agave & Honey
Spicy Thai Noodle Salad: Kelp Noodles, Cashews, Collards, Carrot, Cucumber, Cabbage, Tamari, Sesame Oil, Rice Wine Vinegar, Red Pepper Flakes, Thai Chilies, Scallions, Black Sesame Seeds & Himalayan Salt
Cheesecake with Seasonal Fruit (Figs, Strawberry): Cashews, Almonds, Coconut Oil, Lemon Juice, Agave, Coconut Oil, Coconut Sugar, Vanilla, Cinnamon, Himalayan Sea Salt
Definitely worth a visit and since they’ve only recently opened, they’re giving out these lovely durable canvas totes which actually have a flat bottom — props for that!
