From out of town and always hard to find a good choice - this was everything!! Excellent food and service!

Anytime there's a cute cafe serving up tasty breakfast foods, you can count me in! From the great service to dishes made with locally sourced ingredients, the experience here was great. We unknowingly arrived 30 minutes before close, but the staff was super nice and welcomed us in with no rush. It was still pretty full inside and made for a nice, chatty place to go with family or friends. The menu definitely had something for everyone- all of the options looked great, so it was really hard to choose what to order! We started with coffee before ordering the garden frittata and the biscuits and gravy. The coffee was actually very good- they had a seasonal hazelnut flavor that I really enjoyed. I was expecting the frittata to be fluffy like a quiche, but it was more like a circular shaped veggie scramble. It was pretty standard, but definitely hit the spot. The sourdough bread served alongside was outstanding, however. It tasted super fresh and very homemade. The biscuits and gravy were very flavorful and not too greasy. Given the portions and quality, the price is very reasonable. Would definitely return and recommend making a visit! read more

Perfect poached eggs! Veggie hash could use a little more variety, maybe Brussels sprouts. Breads are delicious- you can't go wrong whichever you choose. Wasn't a fan of the sausage patties- a little under processed. Biscuits could use a new recipe. Be sure to get a box of macarons to go- special! read more

Let's just start with the cocktail, shall we? I did! It was delicious. And very welcome on a warm summer day... The brat burger was very tasty also. The service was good. We were scheduled for a tour later and needed to get in and out. The server managed to make that happen. The ambiance? Well the building is way cool, but it's loud in there. Sure wish more places would pay more attention, and do more to quiet the din! But overall, a good place to stop for breakfast or lunch. read more

Had breakfast with my son before the QU presidential scholarship competition. And everything was so fresh, well prepared and served swiftly. He had a biscuit, gravy, meat dish with tons of flavor. And my lox Benedict were perfect ~ the smoothest, most flavorful hollandaise sauce I've had in a long time. Definitely will go back the next time we are in town. read more

Great place, heartwarming and casual. Friendly staff. The cafe latte could have been a little stronger and less like American coffee. read more

Stopped in for Sunday brunch while visiting my daughter in Quincy. Had the corned beef hash and a half order of biscuits and gravy. Everything was delicious! Especially loved the sage sausage in the gravy. Be prepared for a wait but the food is well worth it and you can't beat the price to value. read more

Thyme Square is my go-to restaurant in Quincy for both breakfast and lunch. Their food is locally sourced and everything is made in house, from the pickles to the ketchup and this effort is so evident in their flavor-packed menu offerings. My favorite lunch order is the mushroom gruyere burger (bonus points that they cook burgers to your desired temp), but you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. A macaron is the perfect way to end lunch on a sweet note and their flavors change daily! read more

Wow, this place is amazing. I really didn't expect much but it is one of the best breakfast I've had in a long time. The pastries are incredible. The pancake was outstanding. My egg was cooked perfectly. The biscuit is just terrific with the sausage gravy. Oh my if I lived here, I'd eat here every day. read more

Went for breakfast and it was delish. Service was awesome and everything came out super quick. They had different coffee options and they all sounded good. I'd go back again for sure. read more

This a one of our favorite breakfast / brunch spaces. The seating area is a decent size, but nearly always full. Be prepared to wait, as it gets busy! This is a farm to table restaurant with a lot of options made in house (breads, desserts, etc) and you can tell there is a lot of thought put into the menu. The menu changes seasonally but I have never had anything bad. The Breakfast Sandwich (get it with the house made sausage on the English muffin!) has become a favorite, my husband loves their Eggs Benedict or the Thyme Squarold. Our daughter has recently started loving the Granola. I also recommend a mimosa flight for a boozy breakfast. We cannot end our meal without the macaroons. They are so very perfect, every single time. read more

We've been here for breakfast and lunch now. I greatly prefer their breakfast offerings-- there are so many great options to choose from! This time around, we ordered a breakfast sandwich and the garden frittata. I also ordered the espresso milkshake, which is so delicious! It's frothy and quality. You can taste the coffee, but it's not an overpowering flavor. The breakfast sandwich is always a slam dunk for me. The frittata was a new one for us, but we found it to be light and fluffy with all the melty goodness of the Swiss cheese topping. Our server, Mike, was super nice and made sure our water glasses were always full, even though we both ordered other drinks. I love the mid-century modern decor here. Seriously taking notes on design for my future home. The lighting, booths, and scarred wooden floors are all gorgeous. Plus there are wide, wonderful windows at the front which supply natural lighting! read more

I finally got the please to come here today. I've been dying for so long to. It was a bit of a wait but so worth it. While waiting I noticed they have farm fresh eggs, homemade breads, jams, honeys, coffee and more. It's a nice place with two rooms. One room is for dining the other seems to be for coffee and sitting. They do have alcohol here! Mimosas, bloody Mary's, adult milkshakes. I did get a mimosa for breakfast which was pretty good. On Saturday's breakfast is until 11am and they do close at 2pm. They have a lunch menu as well. I did get a the black stone Benedict. Which comes on an English muffin and has bacon and a tomato on it. Also comes with a side of what they say breakfast potatoes (id call them hash browns). Everything was so so good. It was inexpensive. I will be returning. I would imagine it gets busy Sunday mornings. They do take reservations! read more

A diamond in the rough. I don't travel to Quincy much, but it is quite like a lot of older Midwest towns. Some of these towns may look a little run down, but they have history and charm. They were also made up, typically of good solid people. Friendly people. Helping people. People with a good work ethic. Friends and families. What America is. Unfortunately, there are areas of these towns that the history does show. The years of work, the cracks, and sometimes the forgotten glory isn't always so glamorous anymore. Faded structures that stand as time capsules are still there to remind you of what once was a more vibrant time. You'll find gems like Thyme Square Bakery & Cafe all over the country I started with the Breakfast Beverage Trifecta of Ice Water, Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice, and Hot Coffee. But wait.... There's more... For breakfast, I ordered the Traditional Brakfast consisting of two Scrambled Eggs, Sausage Breakfast Potatoes, and Handmade Multi-grain Bread with Apple Butter. All of it - AMAZING!!! All fresh and made to order. Absolutely fantastic. A nod to the sausage. It's not like any sausage I've had before. Great pork flavor with a hit of spice/seasoning. The pork truly does the talking on this one. And that's not all..... I had to get the single Pancake with Whipped Honey Butter and Maple Syrup. My Pancake-Goodness!!! Incredible!! The service was outstanding. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes on a Tuesday morning. Very nice large seating area. Would I go back? Heck, YES!! In a minute!! I won't likely visit Quincy, IL much, but if I do, I will be back. And if you're in Quincy, stop reading this and get to Thyme Square Bakey & Cafe!!! They're literally there, waiting for you. Stop reading!!!! GO!!!!! read more

Great service and delicious food and coffee! We went for breakfast. I highly recommend it.

Great options , food tasted good and service was great. We went here for breakfast 2 of the 3 days we were in town.

We got there right at noon on a Saturday but only had about a ten minute wait for a table. Once we placed our order we waited and waited for our order and then we started to notice several tables that were seated after us was getting their food. Asked the waitress to check on our order and several minutes later she let us know she messed up and proceeded to tells us what a bad day she was having. She also told us that the kitchen was empty and that our order would be right out. Another twenty minutes passed before we received our food and after an hour wait the food had lost that WOW feel, it was just okay. We'll give them a pass for this visit and will stop back by to try it again. read more

Not Good Experience with this restaurant No organization in waiting for tables when first at restaurant for lunch Empty crowd when we got there never got seated read more

Food is delicious. Service is great and has a great atmosphere. This is my go to spot for breakfast on Sundays. I would recommend that everyone tries it. Also, I love their macaroons! read more

If you're a breakfast person, then Thyme Square is a great breakfast joint in Quincy! They make everything in house. I had the classic eggs benedict: eggs were poached well, hollandaise sauce was tasty, and ham had great flavor. The breakfast potatoes were ok, not my favorite. I asked if they could do shredded hash browns instead, but cubed fried potatoes is all they serve. Will be back next time! read more

The food is all made from scratch. The cure and smoke all their meet as well as making their own condiment. Even the bread is all made from scratch. Service is amazing, fast and friendly. Very calm and sheik. Plenty of seating without being over crowded. read more

We went there with a group of 16 and were charged $20 extra because of the size of our group. We will not be back. The food was ok, service was ok too. But we only had one waiter. They put us in a separate area from the main dining area but it wasn't necessary. The acoustics have been improved so you can have a conversation. read more

Food is good and it takes a while for the food. The food is worth waiting for. The service is good and the ambiance is like eating in an old gymnasium or hall. It's kind of noisy if you don't mind the environment. read more

What an enjoyable experience. Ambiance, food and service were all top notch. We are out of towners who have been to Quincy a few times to visit family. Never had occasion to have breakfast before, but so glad we did this time. Staff is very friendly, server was exceptional. I had a frittata and the other two guests had bacon and eggs. Everything was delicious. Loved the homemade English muffin and the sourdough bread. We bought a loaf of whole grain bread to take home. Would have bought more, but everything else was sold out as we were there close to closing. Will definitely be back the next time we are in Quincy. read more

Great ambiance but not worth it if someone has gluten issues. No gluten free substitutes for bread per staff who consulted with manager. I requested a substitute side with bowl of soup as can't have bread. Not ok, pretty much my problem. They didn't have gluten bread for sandwiches - they will put contents of a sandwich on lettuce. Not a good experience read more

Still the best breakfast joint I've ever been to. I consider traveling back to Illinois all the time just to have breakfast here.

Great food and a delightful old time atmosphere. Love the upcycle on a former building. Will eat here again!

5 stars for sure...if I could give them more I would. The friendliness of the waitstaff, the speed of the food preparation, and the overall flavor of my burrito was everything you could possibly want. A great atmosphere on a Saturday morning, and an excellent job by the entire crew here. It certainly appeared that they have a well-oiled machine, the people actually like their jobs, and they treat people right. What's not to like? Go here! read more

Modern and spacious breakfast cafe. Stopped here for breakfast on our road trip based on the reviews. My partner said the charcuterie omelet and spiked coffee shake were incredible. I got the corned beef hash and iced coffee and thought they were fair. Highly recommend the cheddar biscuits. Huge props to our server, Nikki B. Nikki was friendly, helpful, and funny. read more

This diner offers a very warm and cozy interior. The items from the menu is sourced from local farms, marketplaces, and the best seasonal fruits. It's a very busy restaurant on weekends. My friends and I made a reservation for 4 people and had to wait 10 minutes after arriving to be seated. After we were seated I noticed that the customers there were very loud, everyone enjoying their foods and having open conversations, a very lively aura! Food was great, I got the Thyme Square Omelette, filled with cheese, veggies, and meat, which came with a side of potatoes and bread with their house made jam. The food was absolutely amazing, one of the best omelettes I have ever had. I am not sure if it was because the restaurant was very busy, but the waiter seemed a bit dismissive. Other than that, the experience was pleasant. read more

Amazing fresh dishes, I had the charcuterie omelet and I'll definitely be back for more! Best macarons I've ever had, even more amazing then the ones in Paris! read more

This was as good a breakfast sandwich as I have ever had. They uses homemade whole-grain bread, toasted with eggs, crispy bacon and a great aïoli sauce and aged cheddar. My waitress offered a side of fresh strawberries, as dark and deep red and sweet as I have had. No sugar needed. They clearly source their food with care. I come in to town for medical appointments at Blessing Hospital and this is my new place to eat breakfast and maybe lunch. Lori was my server she took great care of me, even a to go cup for my coffee. Don't pass its place by. read more
