Golden Thyme Coffee & Cafe — Restaurant in Saint Paul

I met a friend here for lunch today because we heard that this was a black owned business and we wanted to support it. I ordered a 2 egg omelette with sausage, tomato and spinach with hash browns and a side of wheat toast along with a small mocha for which i was charged $20.72. Now I didnt think about what i was charged because its a small business and I wanted to support local businesses.

What came out of the kitchen was at the least, very disappointing. I've made a 1000 omelettes in my life and what I got looked like maybe a single egg omelette, stretched out with milk or water, with a sprinkling of spinach and maybe an ounce of chopped tomato and essentially one sausage links worth of sausage and i could barely find any cheese in the omelette at all. The hashbrowns were under cooked and didnt seem to be the proper type of potatoes for hashbrowns. The toast that came out was white, cold and unbuttered. In fact, the entire meal was cold when it came to the table. The woman that brought my food didnt tell me where to find utensils or condiments and didnt ask if I needed any. The only bright part of my meal was the mocha which was made well and was hot when it came to me.

Unfortunately, this will be the last...

I walked in around 2:45pm, the cashier didn’t speak or acknowledge me I stood there for a for a minute or two, then she asked “how may I help you” … anyway I mentioned I placed an over the phone order,

Being that I am on my WORK BREAK!… Before leaving I asked the cashier /server is utensils and everything that I order in the bag? she said YES!!… when I got to my vehicle I noticed there weren’t no utensils or the dessert, keep in mind there are NOT busy, the cashier needs to be more attentive and learn customer service.

The catfish 5 star Mac and cheese 4 star Rice and gravy absolutely a ZERO STAR the gravy was to thin, no taste just blend Peach...

My favorite post-bike ride brunch location in the Cities. Their Duke Ellington coffee (mocha) is smooth and rich, and can be done over ice, perfect for summer. I've had the egg/cheese croissant sandwich, grits, and hash browns with eggs. All were delicious.

Mychael the owner is warm and friendly. And, they have set up tables outside on the patio for spatially distanced dining and have a system for ordering on site or for takeout. All in all, a delightful small business. Please support them so we can keep this lovely cafe here for...
