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.

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! Congrats, y'all.

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.

This cozy neighborhood gem has a delicious chai latte with oat milk (hot or cold). It’s great to have a beautifully renovated space that offers flaky, buttery danishes and great vibes. I love to walk there from my office in Rondo!
