This place is an absolute gem! It has a very comfortable and welcoming charm to it. The food was delicious and the staff were all friendly and helpful. If you're unsure of what to try, I highly recommend getting a half sandwich/soup combo so you can try more options. Their baked goods were also phenomenal. Not overly sweet, but very soft and chewy.

I will definitely be coming back soon!

Parking: This place does not have a parking lot. You'll need to find street parking.

The avocado toast was a big bore. The birthday cake we ordered was pretty but not good.

I took my in-laws to Old Town Rancho Santa Fe during their visit. The area is quiet and very upscale, but not much to do. We found a highly-rated bakery for lunch—small but busy. The food was tasty but pricey; my Chicken Focaccia Sandwich Combo was $20, and they had a Quiche and Blueberry Pie. We all enjoyed the flavors, and the place has a charming decor with tempting pastries. While I probably won’t return due to the area’s quietness, it’s worth a visit if you're nearby.

First time here with my family. Atmosphere was nice, rustic old school style. Very homey kind of feeling...service and food was good overall except one blond lady behind the counter seems to have an unfriendly vibe ?. Maybe because I'm not white like everyone else that was there? Not sure. But when I was doing my order with another lady because SHE didn't bother to help me.....by the way the other lady was very nice and friendly. The blond looked me straight in the eye and not one smile. It was a plain emotionless look and then she looked away. I thought maybe it's just how she looks or act. But when another customer walked up next to me who's white btw. She immediately had a big smile and helped that person right away. That experience was such a shame. I liked the atmosphere and the food was good but I won't be back if I had to feel like an unwanted guest by someone like that working there. ?

Chicken Salad good. Forget the hot roast beef. It wasn’t fresh and on a hard roll. Coffee latte very good. Get fresh OJ.

Whenever we visit the Village of Rancho Santa Fe we always make it a point to eat at Thyme in the Ranch. It’s not only the quaint atmosphere that is inviting, but the food is over the top delicious. From the breakfast sandwiches to my favorite Cobb salad, this is a prime example of what food should look and taste like. The owners Keely and Marc are always onsite to make you feel right at home. Don’t forget the pastries. One look at them in the display case and you’ll be hooked. I know we are!

What a jewel box of a special place! The vintage and super cars around weren’t bad either. Loved the ambiance, the cottage feel. Coffee was great as was the large quiche selection. I dug into my chocolate cake slice. Very much recommended ✨

Charming restaurant with delicious and fresh American offerings. The hot turkey sandwich was fantastic and they do not skimp on the turkey! Make sure to buy some of their homemade baked goods. Restaurant has outdoor and indoor seating and is across the street from a park where you could take your food to go.

Cute little place, I loved the atmosphere and the food offerings looked good. I ordered a chicken enchilada verde and unfortunately it was soggy and lackluster in flavor but there were many other dishes I’d be curious to try. I’ll definitely be back, just not for the enchilada verde.
