Crema's Take

“Golden Thyme Cafe is a beloved Saint Paul neighborhood spot where regulars come for expertly crafted lattes alongside buttery croissants and danishes, but stay for the genuinely warm staff and airy, outlet-filled space that feels equally welcoming whether you're settling in for work or catching up with friends. The energy here is unmistakably special—locals rave about the friendly vibe, beautiful renovation, and baristas like Khalil who greet you with real warmth every single visit. Whether you're stopping by for a simple latte or trying their standout chai latte with oat milk, this is the kind of place that makes you want to become a regular.”

What to expect

Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

The food is amazing! Well done. Just like a home cooked meal. The blackened and fried catfish is so good. That whole meal was great. Seasoned just right. I swear Minnesota has better food than any state I been to including the south! Im writing this while in Florida right…

Excellent cafe! One of the best Chai Lattes I have had in ages. Nice and spicy! Employee was helpful in recommending my muffin be warmed up a bit to take the chill off. Spacious cafe with cereal tables having meetings/discussions or working on laptops. Definitely would stop by…

Stoked that they're open again. This place is really pleasant, friendly staff, airy environs, plenty of outlets, comfortable seating for chatting, and when they open the french doors it's like a proper European sidewalk café. Every neighborhood needs a coffeeshop like this!…

One of our stops on our croissant crawl. We had the ham and cheese croissant. What a wonderful pairing with a simple latte. The atmosphere was pleasant. Glad to have them in the neighborhood.
