Very impressed. Super high-end ingredients, great presentation of food and most importantly tasted amazing. Top notch bistro experience. Make sure you make a reservation or come early on weekends for breakfast or lunch, very busy. Good service too and was impressed with portion sizes. Everything baked in house. Dutch Crunch Roast Beef Sandwich was outstanding. As is ALL the desserts! Highly recommend!

I’ve heard a lot bout this spot so decided to check it out. I purchased an almond croissant, my favourite, and a plain one. I must say that the croissant is delicious and flaky, the almond one was a little disappointing . It needs more almond flavouring, you can’t really tell its almond except that there’s some filling. I’m sure the pain au chocolate would be great, next time!

This was my second visit to this cosy tea room in a strip plaza near a busy intersection. They have expanded since my first visit and this made the wait for a table much shorter than before. We only had to wait 7 or 8 minutes. The ambience in the room made conversation quite easy as it was not too noisy and tables are far enough apart so you are not hearing your neighbours’ conversations. The menu is nicely varied and different from what one would expect from a bakery cafe. There are the usual croissant sandwiches and quiche, even an onion soup. But there is also Paris Brest sandwich and Croque Monsieur. I had a vegetable bread pudding and it was so creamy and flavourful - topped with a mornay sauce that added just a dollop of decadence! The side greens were lightly dressed and were crisp and fresh. On the suggestion of our server, we shared the key lime pie (accompanied by a French macaron). One would be hard pressed to find a better slice of pie, even in Florida!

I have been there several times over the past few years. You now have to order via an app on your phone or stand in line at the counter. You must pay including a tip when you place your order. I ordered the eggs benedict (which I have had multiple times) and this time it did not have canadian bacon on it because apparently that is now extra and must be ordered as an add on through the app. So it is now a cross between a fast food restaurant (where you pay in advance, but feel obligated to tip) and a pseudo sit down restaurant. The server is not friendly if you only tip 10% as they can see their tip in advance of serving you....bizarre.

Yesterday we catered a bbq for 20 golfers at our country home. From start to finish the experience with having Saving Thyme cater our dinner was amazing. The food is EXCEPTIONAL. The charcuterie board, one of the best burgers that guests raved about ( with home baked buns), with two accompanying salads and dessert of Key lime pie, lemon meringue pie and a chocolate pie that were all delicious. It is apparent that there was a great deal of effort that went into preparing for our party. Special thanks to Emily and Vanessa who came to set up the event and Vanessa who was incredible and did a wonderful job in setting up and cleaning up. We will definitely use them for any future events. Thank you for helping make our Golf/dinner event, such a huge success. Guests raved about the food!!

My son and I spend at least 2 mornings a week here before school. Vanessa (our fave ♥️) and everyone working here are always so kind and pleasant. We love the food, the atmosphere and love that everything is freshly prepared.

First time for me and my companion and we had a delicious lunch of Smoked Salmon with Sour Cream, Jam (don't know what was in that jam but it was delicious) toasty bread and Water Cress. Lovely combination. Very pleasant surroundings with a garden like atmosphere. The only problem was the loud voices of the patrons. So loud we couldn't hear ourselves talk. Perhaps some attention to the acoustics is in order. Otherwise perfect.

We had a family lunch today and must say the place has very nice feel. It has good food with great presentation. The croque monsieur I had was tasty and rich. My wife’s had the club sandwich which was good as well. My son had the hamburger and very much enjoyed it. There is lot of drink options and fantastic coffee. We did not have chance to try the pastries, but they did look good and will try for sure next too. The only reason I gave them four stars was the ordering system which is through an online system with payment in advance which can be a bit slow. We will go again

It’s such a quaint cafe. The food was so yummy, the decor is great and the staff were super friendly. The only downside is the tables are quite close to each other so when the place is busy you’re pretty snug up to your neighbour and can hear their conversation very clearly and vice versa

This the best pastry place hands down in the region. There is absolutely no competition. I always get the almond croissant and it never fails to be amazing.

My wife and I celebrated her birthday recently by having a take away (because of the virus restrictions) from Saving Thyme. I've had their decadent key lime pies before but never had anything else. I ordered their hamburger which was excellent; the best ever I've had at a restaurant. It came with their frites which were tasty. My wife had their vol au vent which she thoroughly enjoyed. She also had their frites. We ordered a seasonal garden salad which we didn't really need so we saved it for the next day. We had their key lime pie/tart for dessert. It's so good it should be illegal! This is a very popular eatery in east Burlington. It clearly has a well deserved reputation. Well worth supporting during the COVID-19 shutdown.

Very pleased with the food, the staff is very friendly. A bit expensive for dinner but the food quality it’s really good. The fresh baked in store bread it’s exquisite. Definitely a place to go.

I had quite enjoyed my first visit to Saving Thyme, so decided to go again with my daughter for lunch this past Sunday. Unfortunately my second experience was not so great, in that the service was somewhat slow, and there was a child/ children (possibly the owner’s child) running around loudly playing a game of “Marco Polo! “ Hardly a relaxing vibe, and certainly not the experience one would expect when paying $18.00 for Eggs Benedict! If I wanted to eat lunch to the sound of children shouting and playing I could have gone to McDonald’s! That said, the Eggs Benedict with salmon was delicious and very nicely prepared and my daughter enjoyed her croissant sandwich. The accompanying fries on my plate were a little over cooked and over salted and although we mentioned this to our server, there was no offer to replace them, although she said she would let the cook know. As we left, I was offered a cookie as compensation. Overall, the food is good, and my first experience was really nice, so perhaps this was an “off day”. For that reason, I would go again.
