Tiny Taiga

I had a great experience. I will be back to spend more time in the store. I was in a hurry and I was able to get everything I needed quickly.

After developing scary debilitating vertigo and balance issues out of the blue, I went to an ENT specialist who performed some hearing tests and an Epley maneuver, and sent me home, undiagnosed, and 90 dollars poorer. So I came to try my luck at Tiny Taiga. It’s just a few blocks from my house, so I had been in a few times before, to peruse for raw chocolate, tea, essential oils, and general advice on how to take better care of myself. The owner, Blake, also hosts lots of community events here, showcasing local producers, artists and jewelers, so it’s become a watering hole to mingle with other East Siders and learn about locally and sustainably produced health and beauty products. Anyway, I talked to Blake about my symptoms and what might be causing them (I had a bad cold a few weeks before, and it likely caused an inner ear infection) and she loaded me up with teas, turmeric, vitamins, and advice on how to use stuff I have handy at home (like garlic and apple cider vinegar) to tackle the inflammation. Long story short, within 2 days my vertigo was a lot better, and within 5 it had completely disappeared, without a single antibiotic, and for a lot less than what I paid to see a «specialist». Tiny Taiga is a brainchild of someone who clearly cares about helping people maintain their health naturally and safely, and nurtures a community around a common cause. It’s a little Feel-​Good-​Happy-​Place that we’re lucky to have in our neighborhood.

This thoughtfully curated little place is less a store and more a little healthy refuge with chocolate and natural body care and superfoods and teas and essential oils and herbs and jewelry and most importantly the perfect guide. Blake knows her stuff without making your feel like an idiot when you don’t. There’s always something interesting and timely to learn and try. Sometimes, if you are lucky, there are bubbles. Love this place!

I go to Tiny Taiga to shop, to decompress, to share, to buy gifts, to listen & learn and to baby step my way toward a healthier me. Blake carries the natural skincare line I love, the raw chocolate I crave and the superfoods, teas, herbs and supplements that have transformed my body and soul over the past year and a half.

i love this special shop. Blake is friendly and welcoming. i appreciate the healthy and holistic products and good energy in this shop. glad to have this shop in east austin.

Blake shares her knowledge of alternative health, whole food supplements, and other sundries, to support the hearts & minds of all who enter her lovely establishment. I’m lucky enough to be a neighboring business, so I can visit as often as I like with ease-​and it’s always a treat!

Lots of cool stuff in here! All sorts of super-​foods, including different brands of raw chocolate… I got some yacon and LOVE it! Tiny Taiga is full of cool stuff and yummy treats. I got this amazing smelling lotion from As You Wish Apothecary; it’s chocolate with spices! Yummy smelling (wish I could eat it, that good! Not that fake chocolate smell) and very hydrating to the skin.
I can’t wait to go back and try more goodies!

Blake at Tiny Tiaga is there to help fix what ails ya with all natural-​remedies … or maybe you’re there to get some super healthy snackerdoodles? Or you don’t know about the super healthy snackerdoodles? Blake will show you the way…

One of my favorite stores in Austin! Blake really knows her stuff. Every time I go there I find something new.

This is no normal «health food store.» It’s more like a collection of lovely treats, tastes and experiences. Blake treats each person who enters as a hostess would treat her most treasured guests. It’s a soothing experience and I always leave Tiny Taiga with a bag full of goodies, feeling more knowledgeable about nutrition and a healthy lifestyle. Go explore, enjoy.

This awesome not-​so-​tiny little store has tons of healthy lifestyle products, from foods to books. A gem on the east side!

I love this place.
The array of healthy and wonderful products and treats is astounding.
Blake is lovely host and knows her stuff.
Just go there. you will not regret it.

Tiny Taiga is a warm welcoming place to hang out, wander around and explore all of the hand picked items that fill every nook and cranny of this cute store. The owner Blake, exudes health and knowledge and loves to talk about each product all while being stunningly beautiful, inside and out.
Go, stay a while and sip some tea.

Tiny Taiga is a magical shop that operates like one of those «choose your own destiny» books! For my first experience, I went in with the desperate need for an «immune– boosting-​kick-​a-​virus-​in-​the-​arse-​and-​come-​out-​feeling-​stronger-​rather-​than-​beaten-​down-​like-​western-​medicine-​often-​does» session. That’s what I got. Blake listened, I talked and all kinds of lovely things went home with me, including Spirulina and Chorella to feed the body. Goji berries to ensure I was getting high quality Vitamin C. Homeopathic seasonal allergy treatment to make sure I didn’t get hit with allergies while my body was down… and the list could go on… Three days later I emerged healthy and kickin’. I find out, that what I was given wasn’t just ailment for a sickness, but mind and body fuel that I continue to use daily. I feel great. I have clarity and I’m ready for my next lesson at Tiny Tiaga, essential oil and tonic learnings!

This store has a little bit of everything that you might need for your emotional, spiritual and physical well being so WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR???
You had ME at locally sourced, natural chocolates… nom, nom, nom!!!

First off, don’t let the address confuse you like it did me. The front door is actually on Lydia street, yes… only about 5 car lengths from 11^th, but I found that confusing. It was worth the confusion. Tiny. yes but it is packed with a lot of really interesting things some of which you can find in larger shops and some, like the small batch California olive oil I got, are much harder to find. The owner, Blake is so incredibly passionate about what she does that it kind of rubs off on you. I like just poking around in there and seeing what kind of cool things are new.
