a new cheese shop called tiny’s
Blair Lebsack (RGE RD) and Ryan Arcand (Iconoclast Coffee) have opened a terrific cheese shop called Tiny’s (12017 102 Avenue) in the Exchange II Building right behind Kind Ice Cream. Walk down the alley between the original Exchange Building (which houses Iconoclast Coffee and Odd Company Brewing) to a sweet little square with a ping pong table and some chairs (are we in Paris?). Look left to find Tiny’s, the bijou shop filled with high-quality cheese accoutrements and a curated selection of small dairy cheeses from Quebec, Alberta and Europe, for now. Check it out!
