“We were hosting a fundraiser for 150 people and knew we needed something special for our first year event. We found EXACTLY what we needed at Thyme After Time Southern Cuisine and Catering. It is truly southern comfort food at its finest! The buffet spread was delicious, but their prosciutto wrapped, asparagus, were so flavorful and the beef and sweet potato skewers were a show stopper! I highly recommend Thyme After Time for your next special occasion. Their staff was friendly professional and really worked hard to create an unforgettable dining experience.“

Yeager Airport, 100 Airport Rd #175, Charleston

“On August 25, 2025, before my Delta flight at 3:25 pm, I stopped at the bar and ordered a decaf coffee. The woman behind the counter went above and beyond—she brewed a fresh pot and even offered to make it easier for me to take on the plane. Instead of a regular to-go cup, she poured it into a water bottle so it would be more convenient. Her thoughtfulness was outstanding. I wish I could remember her name.“

He remembers what I buy every morning and has it ready and waiting for me. Great customer service from this young man! I’ve had previous experiences at this location that were not so nice and stopped going for a long time. He makes my day a bit brighter. Kudos for such a pleasant person Cold Spot!“
