Small but comfortable. Waitress was very nice, prices reasonable. Menu limited but shouldn't have any problem finding something you'd like.Had the French dip.

Service was unmatched! Our waitress was warm and welcoming, and made such friendly conversation. She made us feel welcome while just passing through the area.

I went because I read an article that they were going out of business in October. Turns out they sold to a new owner and they are staying open.I tried a panini and a wrap, both were good but not outstanding. The coconut cream pie was outstanding. Kind of pricey though for what you get. It was good but I probably won't go again.

We were celebrating Dad’s 90th birthday and had the main course catered in from Summer Thyme cafe. Chris and Steve came to set up the pot roast, potatoes, gravy and veggies. The meal was excellent!! Warm and tasty. We didn’t get desserts because we had a birthday cake. Thank you for making our celebration so nice.

Been coming here for years. They're a great local place to go for soups, sandwiches, and desserts. Their lemon bars are out of this world.

First time in Kalamazoo and found Summer Thyme thanks to Yelp. Found this little gem which was just what we needed, a quiet place with comfort food that was clean and friendly. Found out it was very recently acquired and they are doing a great job!

Salads, sandwiches, staff--everything is great here! Their dinners are available after 4-the pot roast is SO good, as is the slightly-different-yet-really-tasty meatloaf! And their desserts are just awesome! If you're a fan of coconut cream pie and/or carrot cake, my favorites, you HAVE to try theirs, although everything I've tried over the years is just delicious ! Summer Thyme, sadly, might be closing at the end of October, and that would be a huge loss to our community, so I hope someone who wants to continue the traits of great food along with wonderful service steps up and buys this little gem!

Really bummed that I discovered Summer Thyme Cafe just this summer right before the current owner is retiring. Fingers crossed that the place gets bought by someone that will hold the quality of the current cafe. This is the last week that the cafe will be open as far as I have heard.
