- Watered down soup is my number one pet peeve. It is really hit or miss. Usually in the evening the staff have it watered down so much that it is a waste of money to purchase it. I understand days are long but I am paying for the soup...not having enough to last the day is not my problem. I expect fresh food.Kutos on having gluten free bread.. it , however, is the worst gluten free bread this... more

Delicious food. The pickles and the coffee are fantastic. Sara is the friendliest food server EVER! The atmosphere of this place is very welcoming. A definite weekend favourite.

I've been three times: I am well-off financially and extremely well educated and was treated by the counter staff like some wino who'd just wandered in off the street. Never again!

Excellent Lunch
February 01, 2013

We had lunch here on the recommendation of friends. I had a chicken sandwhich and salad. My wife had a beet and apple soup with her sandwich. We both enjoyed the food immensely. Cost of the food was reasonable. I also bought a loaf of bread from their bakery which has turned out to be delicious. You have to park... more

Stale food, poor service and overpriced
January 12, 2013

This place used to be good. Now it is more of a factory offering the same selections. The bread was stale, the soup cold, the service indifferent and the prices were way too high. They are riding on their earlier glory but there are FAR better places to eat then this place.

November 18, 2012

I often stop here to pick up cakes or bread but I have not had any luck with the take-out meals. The sandwiches are good although a little pricey but the other items available for take-out, like the precooked chicken or salmon are not nearly as tasty and I have been disappointed in the past. Nice ambiance however if you... more

Lovely place for a quiet discussion. Can become overpopulated & parking is difficult to find. Prices for a healthy lunch are satisfactory. Even a simple coffee or tea feels like a special occassion.

Favourite sit in, take out and lovely baked goods

This charming place has good food, reasonable prices for the quality and is the mainstay of many "too tired to cook" family meals. There are soups, salads, mains, appetizers and great baked goods that are fresh and many flash frozen for trips to the cottage. Art-is-in bread is also available at this location. I personally recommend the Chocolate poppyseed grandmarnier... more

I was quite disappointed with Thyme & Again. I dropped in for lunch and ordered two servings of the filet mignon with sesame sauce and a side for each: parsnips and carrots and basmati rice. It took approximately 15 minutes while I waited at the counter for the waitress to retrieve the filet, sauce and side from the fridge, plate it, and warm it up in the microwave (yup you heard right !).

Amazing soups and sandwiches and other tasty entrees - incredible desserts (for Ottawa). Thyme and Again puts on an incredibly tasty lunch with great coffee options for 10-20$. They have a small eat in area, appropriate for small groups. They also do a great catering service, although expensive.

I have been dining here for over ten years, both solo, and with others, because I enjoy their soup and salad lunches, all made on the premises, and beautifully prepared. The quality of everything they serve is superb. The atmosphere is pleasant and sharing tables is frequently required because the dining area is small. If you're looking for privacy, this... more

A hive of activity with good food at centre stage

I have experienced all aspects of Thyme and Again's offerings: catering, coffee and dessert, and take home food. It's all really good - I especially LOVE the tourtieres. We have a 'tourtiere-off' on Christmas Eve with friends and Thyme and Again tourtieres consistently beat out places like les Fougeres and Red Apron.
The hors d'oeuvres are delicious and artistically presented.... more

I too am a local and have frequented this place a few times but have found, like all businesses nowadays, it can have some of the worst service imaginable.

I picked up a sandwich and a fruit salad for dinner yesterday for about $12. It was more expensive than heading to other fast-food options in the neighbourhood but well worth it. I was pleasantly surprised with the selection at 6:30pm and the prompt service.Has anyone tried their gluten free offerings yet?

A decent place for a simple lunch. But when it comes to catering large events (such as my wedding) these guys get 5 stars. Delicious food, impeccable service, miraculous delivery of perfectly cooked food to over 100 guests (including gelato that they managed to serve in tact despite 32c heat). Highly recommend.

Speaking as a local, I like Thyme and Again for their sandwiches and quesadillas, so their lunches. And little else. Their takeaway is uninspirinf and their catering is way overpriced. Go for lunch, but don't take the whole kitchen home with you.

Quaint coffee/tea shop offering a selection of fresh baked goods and other light meals such as sandwiches and salads. Although I haven't tried any of their meals (either served on-site or take-outs), the baked goods were surprisingly dry especially since this place bakes its own.
