“ Been here various times throughout the year and every time I’ve been given great service by both Thyme Kitchen and Hallowed Grounds coffee co.! Today I had the creme brulee french toast and their signature potatoes and both were cooked and seasoned very well but next time I think I’ll get their avocado toast someone else bought because it looked and smelled PHENOMENAL. One thing I would recommend is coming here for breakfast or brunch during early hours of the weekdays to avoid crowds since the space is small (but cozy) but even on the weekends their service is great. ”
“ Beautiful aesthetics! Comfortable environment! Loved the outside eating. I will recommend to everyone! The woman at the food ordering station was so helpful, she helped us make great decisions. Food was sooo delicious!!! ”
“ My daughter and I went here and everything was delicious! We both got drinks from Hallowed Grounds - I got the cream refresher with strawberry and she got the smore's latte which she was so excited about! The lady serving us was very kind and allowed us to make customizations on the drinks. Both were so good! Also got the shaved pork roll sandwich with potato-so good and filling. Outdoor seating is nice as well. Would go here again! ”
“ Thyme Kitchen’s food is so amazing ! We have had every item on the menu and each one is more flavorful and amazing than the next one ! We love the family owned business feel and they are always so welcoming!! It’s always a plus when you’re getting top notch food from a chef expert because you can tell by how well he puts together his entrees! We recommend them to all our friends and family! If you want more like us, he also does catering for parties, events and private dinners!! ”
“ This place was a surprise at the recommendation of friends. I tasted the maple bourbon pork belly and sausage and gravy. The place is small, but their skill at cooking is off the charts. The tenderness of the pork belly was level 10, and the flavor profile came with layers. The sausage and gravy is right up there with the best I've ever tasted. They are on my return list. ”
“ Exceptional food in a cute and casual environment. I stopped in for coffee from Hallowed Grounds, which shares the location with Thyme Kitchen, and I left with a great coffee but the lasting impression will be the incredible food from Thyme. The food is all made in-house, is fresh, and so good. I’d go as far as saying the avocado smash is the best avocado toast like dish I’ve ever had. ”
“ I had to leave a review ASAP. I came in with my baby for a coffee date and we might have to make this a regular thing. I got the Pot O Gold iced coffee (banana and mocha, and somehow not overly sweet) and a smashed sausage breakfast sandwich (I can’t say enough good things but I’ll focus on the hot honey, cheese and bread. 100/10). It was my first time and they guided me towards some great picks, but honestly I don’t think you can go wrong. The service was super friendly, we ate outside in the little patio area and it was very cute and clean. I’m super excited to come back! ”
“ I tried this place for the first time a couple weeks ago and since then I’ve been two more times. The maple bourbon pork belly sandwich tastes as good as it looks, definitely a must. The potatoes were a little salty to my taste but that’s just very subjective. Staff is super nice and you don’t have to wait too long for the food! Will definitely keep going back! ”
