Down Thyme Cafe

Coffee is average. The numerous times we've been in there we've never had good service. The people behind the counter never smile, they seem bothered by having to serve the customers. I've heard them complaining multiple times about various aspects of their jobs. (And it was never busy when we were there). Thank goodness a better coffee shop opened across the street. Only upside is the food is pretty good, but that isn't enough to make us want to go back.

I recently had my bridal shower at Down Thyme Cafe and it was perfect in every way. Terri Cassel was amazing to work with. She responds quickly to every email and flexible to meet in person. She helped me plan the most beautiful and wonderful bridal shower I could've asked for. The food was served hot and fresh. The mimosa and coffee bar was definitely a crowd favorite. Anyone looking to have a bridal shower should definitely consider Down Thyme. All of the servers were so kind and cleared tables and plates for my guests. I couldn't have asked for a more special day.

A perfect croissant sandwich on a busy Saturday morning made my day and fueled my weekend.

The atmosphere was everything!! So cute and felt so much like home. Cozy, welcoming, peaceful. They had a vast menu of so many options! The staff was friendly and welcoming. Everyone there seemed to really enjoy this business like I did. I was coming from out of town for work and it was quite the hidden gem.

This is the perfect coffee shop for me. It's not foofy Bohemian like I expetience at a lot of local coffee shops (especially on the coasts). Yet, it offers a relaxed atmosphere with an at-home feeling cum small cafe decor. The tables are well spaced so that you don't have to weave your way through cramped quarters. The service is very friendly and efficient and the prices are pretty reasonable from my survey of the menu.I'm sure most people come in for the coffee and pastries. The sweet treats did look quite good and I have to say that my Americano was also very good. Their highlight seems to be their Saturday morning "colossal" cinnamon rolls (only offered Saturday after 9 AM if I understood correctly) that need to be pre-ordered if you want to be guaranteed to get your fill. However, we were there for lunch and that aspect of their offerings should not be overlooked. My wife had a Caprese Quiche which she enjoyed very much. It had pesto, mozzarella and tomatoes and was low carb (without crust). This was almost conceived for her it seemed because she loves anything that has the "caprese" combo. I had a Spicy Turkey Panini, which combined turkey, bacon, provolone, tomato and sriracha. It was accompanied by chips and a pickle spear making it a perfect lunch. Their facilities were comfortable and made a great place to sit and chill while my wife walked across the street to shop for a while.This was my first time in Fremont in quite a long time. I had visited the Hayes House about 20 or 25 years ago and have not been back to Fremont proper since then. This place will be on our radar and may induce us to veer into town center next time we are close.

I really enjoyed our morning coffee and bagel here. I got an americano and it was delicious. The inside is decorated nicely and is very relaxing. It's very nice to have a place like this in Fremont.

This place is classless. I asked for a muffin on a plate and coffee in a mug. I see plates and mugs on the shelf behind the register. They serve both the muffin and the coffee in plastic and styrene. I asked why they ignored my request and the reply was 'that is just the way we do it'. I do not need to generate two pieces of single use plastic that will be floating around the environment for a hundred years, just to move a muffin 12 ft across the dining room. So I gotta ask... what are the plates and mugs for behind the register on the shelf? Show and tell?

Food was great - had the chicken pesto panini. Chicken was tender and real white meat. Sandwich was the right amount of cheese, meat, pesto and veggies; and a decent size.Had a lemon poppyseed muffin with tea. Muffin was large, tender and tasty. Tea was good, bag with a large amount of tea leaves - not Lipton. Husband had a mocha coffee - said it was good but a little too sugary for his taste. The prices were budget friendly.Service was prompt and helpful - we were there after the lunch rush so not busy at the time.Cutely decorated for the holiday - not over the top.Restroom shared with next business was a good size. The floor needed a good vacuuming and the walls were smudged but the sink was clean and there was plenty of paper (towels and toilet).

Was in Fremont from out of town and stopped in. We had breakfast bowl and a breakfast sandwich. Great food at reasonable prices! Check it out!

I ordered the egg Croissant Sandwich this morning and it took less than 10 minutes. Came with bacon, egg, and cheese. The place is very clean and it made me want to sit down and eat even though I had a pick-up order. Nice big windows in the front for a good street view and the people behind the counter were pleasant.
