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.

An overrated rude place. Obviously, the owner/staff think very highly of themselves. So they feel free to talk down to customers. When you walk out the store, don't be surprised you feel robbed emotionally and financially.

A cute little bakery, but they only have bread starting 3 PM, so only cake/cookies were available when I stopped by. I enjoyed the Mocha Chocolate Rolled Slice ($6.95), which was light and fluffy with pleasant light flavor, though a touch dry. The Green Tea Azuki Bean Sliced Cheese Cake ($4.95) wasn't very good though -- the crust was very meh and the flavor a bland azuki bean one with minimal green tea. It's a nice place for a quick slice of cake, but not worth going out of your way.

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

The cakes are good but the customer service is the worst!! I was a fan of their cakes but 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 probably due to enough demand than supply. But they are forgetting that this place become popular due to their initial customers and it can go the other way very quickly if they do not change their attitude and respect their customers!! Very disappointed.

Actually I have been to this place several times and we really love everything from this store. Their cakes are perfect for our taste, creamy but not too sweet. I would highly recommend this place if you have not yet tried their cakes or other desserts.

I’ve got to know here by my friend. I am happy she introduced it to me. We got mango boba drink, which I liked mango better than bobas. Also, I tried mocha cheese cake which was very delicious.Not pricey. There wasn’t any sitting place inside the store. We were lucky to find a bench outside in the park nearby.
