Great food, Friendly service. Decent prices. The new owner is doing a great job carrying on Jeff Wagner's legacy. Well done!

Rude, Rude, Rude!
I was on a trip in this town and decided to try this place. It was an absolute disappointment both in terms of service and the food quality. The waitress was so rude and dirty. She smelled horrible and her dirty hands. The food quality has so much room to improve:

We stopped at the Summer Thyme Cafe for lunch on our way to Lake Michigan. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting with little booths and tables for dining in. The menu has a great variety of salads and sandwiches, so it was hard to decide what to order! I chose the Chicken Pecan salad, and it was delicious. Everything was so fresh; the serving size was generous but not overwhelming. My husband had the Cobb salad, and it was very good too. Our server was pleasant and attentive. The cafe is conveniently located about 0.5 miles from the highway-easy on/easy off. I would definitely recommend this cute little cafe for lunch and look forward to stopping there again when I'm passing through Kalamazoo. PS-the desserts looked amazing! Fresh pies,cake, bars etc. [We're trying to avoid sweets so we didn't partake-but it was tempting].

Vegetarian options: You can get salads without the protein.

Amazing service amazing people and amazing food. If you were ever in Kalamazoo, you have to stop here. I so wish I would’ve taken pictures, but it still wouldn’t have done justice for an amazing food service and pricing is unbelievable. I wish I had more to offer.

I loved their pecan chicken salad but today it was an aweful experience I called my order in ahead of time but still had to wait 20mins.The lady at the register said she was new. I got my food looked at the salad and had to go back in as there was no salad dressing. The saladWas also so much smaller. It was a very frustrating experience.

New owners recently took over. One of them comes in and does dishes when it’s busy and that’s the only time he comes in. I am close with a waitress that worked here for over a decade for the previous owners. All the regular customer’s know her. One day, Mr. Dishes (owner) comes in and ends up yelling at this waitress, calling her useless in front of customers. She doesn’t work there anymore, and I will not be coming back. Food is great, but I’m not supporting these new owners.
