This local place has been a comfort and all time favorite spot for over 8 years now. They have the best boba drinks and best cake pastries I have ever had. The boba is not overly sweetened like at other places. I like that they don’t serve the boba drinks with ice, but it’s still served perfectly cold (while hot is also available). The strawberry and mango cakes, as well as their mousses, are amazing. I ordered the mango cake for a grad party: 10/10 everyone loved it. Only thing is, I wish they were open on more days/hours.

Delicious especially the cheesecake and rice cakes!

The people are very nice, just be strait forwards with your communication. Amazing place to stop by.

If you are worried about waiting outside to get your food, that was something that Sweet Time requested during the pandemic for the safety of their workers. They no longer do this.

They have nice benches outside to soak in the weather!

And as usual, not too sweet (:

A hidden gem café, serving delicate desserts on a silver platter, in a quiet and regal atmosphere. I recommend the Mango Mousse.

I got the green tea cheese cake slice and a cannoli. The cannoli was delicious. The packaging is beautiful. It would be very impressive to bring something from here as a gift.I was however disappointed with the cheesecake. I love cheesecake, this just wasn’t my favorite.

I got Christmas cakes from sweet thyme a few years in a row. I like that they taste light and not overly sweet.

We always get our special occasion cakes from Sweet Thyme and the red velvet holiday cake did not disappoint. Not too sweet, festively decorated, and wonderful service as usual. Thank you!

Nothing spacial about Sweet Thyme Bakery. I am not satisfied with the taste and price. Pecan bar was too hard to bite.Just like sugar and all purpose flour.The customer service is the worst!!my daughter has lactose intolerance. I ask her do you have a chocolate chip cookies? She was rude and told me to go to stop and shop and walk away. I won't even step foot on this shop ever anymore. There are other options out there. They are treating customers like they do not matter. anymore. very quickly if they do not change their attitude and respect their customers!! They make people feel they are the only place in the world to make birthday cake.

Owner/staff were very rude talking down to customers. Nothing special offered in this place. But plenty of attitude.

Got a great cake for a decent price and had a reasonable customer service experience. Seeing some of the other reviews, I think it’s best to be very straightforward when communicating with the older asian owners. The cake itself was very fluffy and had an airy whipped cream. Especially important was that it received the coveted Asian parent compliment of “it’s good not too sweet”.

I agree with one of the reviews below. I used to like the place a lot and occasionally picked up a bag of bread on my way home. Until one day at the checkout i saw the bread was more expensive than before, so i commented “oh you guys increased the price” as i was paying. The lady immediately got super defensive and half-yelled at me “what do you expect, everything is more expensive now”. and i had to ask her to chill. then the male owner came out so i tried to lighten the mood by saying “i guess i was just surprised because the last time i bought it, he was here and it was still at xxx”. Then she said “yeah that was then and this is now. even if you ask him now, he won’t get you the price before”. And on my way out, she added another comment: “you came after 530 today and we close at 530”, as if i broke in and she was doing me a favor by selling me the bread… i walked in only because the door was open and there was no indication of they were closed for the day
