Thyme & Place Cafe

We saw Thyme and Place and decided to give it a try. The food was fresh and tasty and the service was prompt and friendly. We sat outside and enjoyed the fine weather and listened to the birds singing. The owner came to check on us and as we were looking for a place to go walking she made a suggestion that turned out perfect for us. Altogether a most pleasant experience at Thyme & Place. Good food, good service and a local tour guide! What more could you ask for? We look forward to returning and trying some other items on the menu.

What delicious food! When I travel from Raleigh to visit my friend here, we are both so excited to have lunch at Thyme & Place. Today’s soup of the day, cauliflower bisque, was a savory meal in itself but then came the vegetarian arepas! Yum! I would (& may) drive weekly to enjoy them! The chocolate mousse for dessert was perfect as it wasn’t too sweet on a full & happy belly. This treasure is off the beaten path but still close to downtown-unpretentious yet soulful and well worth a visit. Wish we had a Thyme & Place in Raleigh!

My husband and I love it when we can meet for lunch here. The food is very beautifully prepared. The menu is broad, including choices you don’t see everywhere else. Leslie cares a lot about food quality and seeks purveyors that provide it. All good cooks know that the best meals are prepared when you have the freshest ingredients you can get. I meet friends here too, it’s a great place for group lunches.

I love this place. It is so clean and welcoming. Today, I had the Southern Benedict made with sausage gravy and it was amazing. I love sausage gravy and have had it all over town. This was by far the best I have had. It is such a perfect combination of consistency and sausage flavor. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for great quality food made with care. I will definitely be back.

Every time I come I get the curry chicken salad 😋😋😋 I’m obsessed with both chicken salad and curry - so it’s a literal dream. The bread is quality, the side salad is fresh and so tasty with green goddess dressing. Extremely clean atmosphere- I felt very safe eating here with the current health situation. The staff / service is friendly, attentive and just darn lovely. Overall - this “Place” is a Southern Pines 💎 GEM!!!! I highly recommend 💜💜💜
