Thyme Cafe Bar — Restaurant in Gold Coast City

Ah, where do I even begin to express my adoration for this place? Thyme Cafe has captured my heart in more ways than one – from its inviting atmosphere to its warm and welcoming staff, and of course, the mouthwatering food that keeps me coming back for more. My partner and I have made it a ritual to visit twice a week for breakfast, and each time we arrive, we're greeted like old friends returning home.

First, let's talk about the atmosphere. There's a certain charm about Thyme Cafe that instantly puts you at ease. The cozy interior, adorned with rustic decor and soft lighting, creates the perfect backdrop for a leisurely morning meal. It's the kind of place where you can linger over your coffee, get lost in conversation, or simply soak up the tranquil ambiance.

And then there are the people – the heart and soul of this beloved cafe. The staff here are more than just servers; they're genuine, friendly faces who go above and beyond to make every visit memorable. From the moment we walk in, we're greeted with warm smiles and cheerful greetings, as if we're part of the family. And let's not forget about the visiting puppy dogs of the day! It's a delightful surprise to see furry companions lounging around, adding an extra layer of joy to our breakfast outings.

But perhaps the crowning glory of Thyme Café is the food. Oh, the food! It's nothing short of a culinary masterpiece, with each dish crafted to perfection using the freshest, highest quality ingredients. Whether we're craving fluffy pancakes drizzled with syrup, hearty omelettes bursting with savoury fillings, crispy bacon piled high on buttery toast with eggs, or my husband's favourite the delicious, overflowing granola jar, Thyme Café never fails to deliver. And paired with a steaming cup of freshly brewed coffee, it's a breakfast experience that leaves us feeling nourished and content.

In essence, Thyme Café isn't just a place to eat; it's a sanctuary, a haven where good food, good company, and good vibes come together in perfect harmony. It's a place where memories are made and moments are cherished, and for that, we'll keep coming back time and...

We really wanted to like this place… it had such positive reviews. Our wait time for food was about an hour. The table next to us left, as they waited over an hour for food which never arrived. Other tables also seemed to be looking around at the staff, wondering where their orders were. Cappuccinos took 20 mins to arrive, then were mediocre. The staff were nice, but there was seemingly no organization so we also waited a while for someone to finally take our order and bring waters (after being flagged down). Food arrived and my order was wrong, they remade it quickly. We ordered breakfast items and they were average at best (though presentation was quite nice). Upon checkout, they asked “how was everything”, and I kindly replied “honestly, it was very slow and the food was only o…k… once it arrived”… a reply I’ve never had the courage to say. My answer was brushed over with no acknowledgment. Unfortunately, we feel like we wasted a ‘good meal’ opportunity by...

Despite the Main Beach location, this cute cafe is very fairly priced. Love that both their breakfast and lunch menus are all day. We went with the smashed avo on toast (with feta) plus a side of halloumi and the big brekkie.

Took a little bit to come out considering the place was very quiet but the staff were friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is nice so we weren't too bothered. Overall, the food was delicious. Only criticism would be that the poached eggs were a bit under cooked and we both found it challenging to eat from their choice of crockery (not easy to cut through chunky toast in a bowl!)

Definitely worth a visit if you're passing by.
