Our Thyme Cafe is different from most Cafe's you have been in.
This Cafe was developed because of the Elizabeth Fry Society. In short this Cafe helps women and youth who are in need of some help getting back on their feet. It allows them the opportunity for education in this field, with the goal of full-time employment.
I gave them A Five Star because of what they represent.
Now back to the actual cafe, it is new and clean, has all homemade items to choose from, mostly sandwiches and soups. They make smoothie's as well and have some fantastic looking cookies.
They do catering as well, so if you are looking for someone, stop by here and support. -

I really enjoyed my first visit to Our Thyme Cafe and instantly became a fan once i bit into my soft and crunchy ginger molasses cookie and took the first sip of my warm and relaxing soy cappuccino.
It's such a shame that this place probably gets over looked because of the "non-cafe looking" front of the building. I believe that what they are representing is great and respectable.
I really recommend this hidden Dartmouth gem to coffee lovers and bakery fanatics like myself. Don't let the face of the building fool you, this is a great little cafe. -
Review from Kirk F.
The greatest challenge that Our Thyme faces is their rather uninviting storefront. When I think of cafes, I tend to imagine ground-level, big glass windows possibly with outdoor seating. I lived nearby for a year before I even realized it was a cafe.
But once you get past the front door, you will be pleased. A surprisingly large menu of deliciousness that I've only barely sampled because I only ever make a beeline directly for the baked goods which are of course fantastic and may cause you to have a major sugar rush but in a good way but which may not be good when you're trying to write a review.
Prices are also very good; you can grab a good lunch for a great price.
Do note the hours, however: they close at 2 any day they're open so it's definitely a breakfast/lunch place. -

Our Thyme Café is located on the downtown Dartmouth end of Portland Street, just where the road rises over the hill. Situated inside an airy corner spot, the café boasts a varied menu that carries almost anything your heart could desire. Fresh sandwiches and paninis grace the main menu side, with salads facing. Plenty of coffees and teas are available, as are fresh fruit smoothies. And the display case at the front counter features all sorts of delectable offerings, from giant-sized chocolate chip cookies to carrot cake with cream cheese icing.
I stopped into Our Thyme Café today. It's a little farther from my office than I usually like to venture, but the trip was well worth it. I had the turkey and swiss panini with a spinach salad. The panini was fresh and crispy (although it was on bread, not a flatbread - disappointing!) with additions of tomato, lettuce and a light layer of sweet mayo. The spinach salad was generously dressed with bacon, a little less cheese and plenty of egg and onion. The poppyseed dressing was delicious.
I would definitely go back to Our Thyme Café, as much for the food as for the benefits to society. The café is an outreach of the Elizabeth Fry society, finding work placements for women in transition from prison to everyday life.
