’Twas the week before school started…

And all through the land, things were just a little quieter than usual.

Not dead.
Not deserted.
Just enough to make every small business owner look around and think…

“Soooooo… where’d everybody go?”

Was it the beach?
One last summer getaway?
Back to school shopping?
Or are parents simply hiding in their cars for five minutes of peace before the school bus arrives? 😂

We know this week. It’s the annual “cram every last bit of summer into seven days while simultaneously trying to get everyone ready for school” week.

So enjoy that last beach day.
Buy those sneakers.
Find the missing lunchbox.
Pretend you’re emotionally prepared for school to start.

And when the backpacks come out and the alarm clocks start screaming again…

We’ll be right here, ready to feed you.

Because let’s be honest…
Back-to-school season requires caffeine. Lots of caffeine.

A Just Because Post

We may not be open to the public today, but we’re still here catering and doing what we love!

And while we’re here, we just wanted to take a minute to say THANK YOU!

Thank you to everyone who walks through our doors, grabs lunch, orders catering, brings a friend, leaves us a review, tells someone about us, or simply keeps coming back.

Tina’s wouldn’t be Tina’s without all of you. We appreciate you more than you probably realize.

Now back to catering… because apparently we don’t actually know how to sit still.

We’ll see you soon!

A LITTLE R&R… FINALLY!

In lieu of taking a full week or two vacation like normal people, we’ve decided to do something a little different. We’re taking a few Saturdays off between now and Labor Day for some much needed R&R.

As most of you know, we haven’t taken a real break in YEARS. Between moving, rebuilding, Larry’s medical complications and getting Tina’s back up and running, I’ve pretty much been running on caffeine, stubbornness and sheer determination. 😂

But we finally feel like it’s time to breathe a little.

And honestly… Saturdays in August can be a little wonky for small businesses anyway with all the amazing local fairs and events going on. So you may just spot me out enjoying one of them, or you might find me beachside somewhere with my toes in the sand because I have officially given myself permission to take a day off! LOL.

Don’t worry, this is temporary. After Labor Day, we’ll be back to our regular schedule and pretending we know what a normal work life balance looks like.

Thank you for understanding, supporting us, and giving us the opportunity to finally take a little time for ourselves. We’ll see you during the week!

❤️ Tina

I know it's been a while, but yes... we're actually open today! 😊 If you're out and about, we'd love to see you. Stop in, say hello, and let us make you some lunch.

Our hearts are also with the family of Officer Simon today. He'll be deeply missed by so many in our community. We all have our own stories about Officer Simon, but what I'll remember most is how he built genuine relationships with people. Through his kindness, compassion, and the way he connected with others, he helped restore faith in our local police department for so many. That was a gift.

May he rest in peace, and may we all remember him for the incredible man he was. ❤️

Good morning everyone!

We're starting to think there's a conspiracy against the BLT. 😂 First it was the lettuce, now there's a bacon recall. At this rate we're expecting tomatoes or bread to be next!

In all seriousness though, we take food safety incredibly seriously. We monitor recall alerts every day and immediately verify with our suppliers whenever an issue arises. Thankfully, we're in the clear with this latest recall.

Today's Soups:
Cheese Tortellini with Spinach
Sausage & Kale
Texas Style Chili

We're also still serving our limited time Reu-Ben on Main, along with our refreshing infused waters!

Order online at tinascafe38.com, call us at 860-618-7215, or stop by and see us at 75 Main Street in downtown Torrington.

We're here today from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

We can't wait to see you!

Quick question, are you Team Reuben?🤔

If you've been waiting for our Reu-Ben on Main Street to make its return, I've got some good news...

**It's back for a limited time!**

Made with corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Thousand Island dressing on grilled rye, it's one of those sandwiches that people ask me about all the time. So we decided it was time to bring it back!

You can find it under Sandwiches on our website at tinascafe38.com, call ahead at 860-618-7215, or stop in and see us at 75 Main Street in downtown Torrington.

And while we're talking about new (and returning) favorites...

Starting today we're also offering fresh infused water!

So many of you have asked for healthier beverage options, and we've been wanting to add them too.

We're starting with:
🥒 Mint & Cucumber
🍋 Ginger & Lemon

The flavors may change as we learn which ones you love the most, so let us know your favorite or tell us what flavor you'd like us to try next!

Now I have another question...

If you had to choose just one... are you ordering the Reu-Ben on Main Street, or are you grabbing a refreshing infused water to go with lunch today?
