A beautiful shop. There were a lady and a gentleman in the shop teleworking. The cashier was nice but she forgot my coffee. I ordered muddy waters as it was a fave of a tiktoker who did a video review of them. It was good but a little on the sweet side. I was also disappointed to learn from her they are no longer offering pancakes since they changed owners. They have unique lights. One made of a drum set. I also loved seeing sojourner truth photos on the table. Power to the people.

When I walked in I found the oasis I'd been looking for. My Duke Ellington coffee drink with either a biscotti or a veggie omelette gave the start to the day I needed. Seeing neighborhood friends and you just might see the Mayor. Love it

Stopped in today for the first time and got a Muddy Waters - pretty sweet but so so good! The small was definitely more on the medium/large size. Lots of room to sit and work, love how everything is jazz themed. Staff was so friendly. Can't wait to come back!

I have been going to this business for two decades. I have appreciated watching a girl from the small corner, coffee shop into a center for community activity and organizing. The owners, Michael and Stephanie, are cornerstones of the Rondo community, as well as the business community in the area. They also are founders of the Selby Avenue jazz festival. I highly recommend their shrimp and grits and their coffee is always percolated to perfection. If you're looking for a scene where the best mines in liters converted to talk about key issues and their communities and you want to support a Black owned local business, this is your spot!

Don't miss this great gem. I am so glad Golden Thyme is open again. Their new location is BEAUTIFUL!!! The coffee continues to be the BEST in the twin cities. The personal touch and friendly welcoming atmosphere add to the wonderment of this awesome cafe. This is a great spot to meet up with friends, family, coworkers or enjoy some alone time. Yes, they offer a whole lot more than coffee...breakfast sandwiches, shrimp and grits, soup, sandwiches, chili, muffins and everything is good. Always looking forward to my next visit.

They are back and better than ever! Golden Thyme is one of my favorite neighborhood businesses and for good reason. Not only do they brew a mean cup of coffee, they also cook up amazing shrimp and grits, and make delicious soups and salads, but that is not all. Owners Stephanie and Michael are active in our community. They are instrumental in Selby Jazz Fest, they host all sorts of community events like backpacks for school children, Thanksgiving baskets for neighbors in need and a neighborhood visit from Santa. They also regularly host spoken word poetry events, AA meetings, and a variety of other community groups.Their new space on The south side of Selby near Milton is a gorgeous, open, and bright space. It is also full of laughter and love. Today I tried out a new menu item, an amazing, healthy, shrimp salad. The shrimp, coated in a beautiful Cajun spice were perfectly sautéed and served atop a bed of gorgeous greens (no iceberg lettuce here) with ripe tomatoes, diced red and orange bell peppers, and thinly sliced onion. This was the perfect salad for my carb avoiding self.

This place has a hidden gem and it is called "Gravy Babies" It's a ghost kitchen that serves Soulfood only on the weekends. My husband and I decided to give this place a try. It's hard trying to find Soulfood restaurants in the twin cities. When we did find a good Soulfood spot, they closed down and invested in their catering business instead. Anywho, you know how you would walk in a restaurant, and the aroma of the food hits you like a Mack truck? Well... that wasn't the case with this place. The food at this place has a lot of potential. For starters I ordered smothered pork chops over white rice, greens mixed with cabbage, Mac&cheese and some candid yams. I can't remember what my husband ordered. The smothered pork chops were good. I would give them a 3/5 however the gravy has a loud smell to it. The greens, I would give it a 1/5 because they were a bit on the salty side and there was no meat in the greens. The Mac&cheese I would also give it a 3/5. It was seasoned well. The yams...I have to give them a 0/5 because they tasted like the yams that come in the can. Customer service was good though. But hey, it might taste better to other people. I just have high quality taste buds.

FOOD: Its a good place to go if you're looking for a cozy vibe and a light meal. If I was really really hungry, though, I probably wouldn't go here.SERVICE: Patrons were nice. I asked whether the cheese on one of the sandwiches was cheddar or American and they just said it was yellow. I don't expect everyone to be a chef..... but knowing that would be nice.
