    Headed to one of the best local coffee spots in St. Paul, in my childhood neighborhood. I love local small businesses. They space is cute, the chai latte was delicious and the service was 5 stars. Please stop by for a great experience and keep these businesses thriving.

    Croquets
    Gifty V.

    Pulled up for brunch last Saturday and grabbed a seat outside. We were surprised to learn they'd only been open about a month, and we were excited to be there. We started with the macaroni croquets and greens. The waiter let us know that the croquets didn't have bacon in them, as described on the menu, which was disappointing. The croquets were drier than I expected, but they came with a side of cheese sauce for drizzling or dipping, which I appreciated. My ladies I was with found the greens a bit too salty, but we still finished them, so clearly they were still delicious. For my main, I ordered the fried Catfish Po'Boy. It was really good and nicely portioned. I even had leftovers to enjoy the next day. I also really enjoyed the bread! I plan to order it blackened next time. I tried the Hello, Hot Lips and the sangria (love a sangria with cognac). The flavor of the drinks is subtle which is nice cause its not overly sweet. But that doesn't mean they weren't strong. It was a little quiet in the restaurant for a Saturday afternoon, so I'm hoping things pick up for them. I'm planning to bring my husband later this week. Our waiter was nice and effective, but lacked some of the forward warmth Im used to receiving. But people are allowed to have off days, so its all good.

    I visited Golden Thyme and the atmosphere alone was worth the trip. The art on the walls, the soulful vibe, and the mix of people, from families sharing meals to friends deep in convo and couples enjoying each other.. felt warm and welcoming. Our server was super pleasant and started us off with the Rondo 93: Pineapple Gin, Elderflower, Sparkling Wine. It was refreshing and beautifully balanced. For dinner, I ordered the Blackened Catfish, but chose to have it fried instead. It came with peas & rice and collard greens. We added sides of mac and cheese, sweet potatoes, and a Johnny Cake. Here are my honest food thoughts: * The greens and rice together packed great flavor. Alone, the rice could've used a bit more seasoning. * The mac and cheese was underwhelming by itself, but paired with sweet potatoes? Much better. * The Johnny Cake? Absolutely amazing. A true standout. * I did find the additional sides a bit pricey, but overall, still a solid dining experience.

    This neighborhood restaurant glows in the dark, you can see the lights shimmering and the people inside. This restaurant looks new compared to the neighborhood. They have their own parking lot and street parking as well. Dine inside or on the patio. Reservations recommended for the weekends. The colors were green and gold. My server was amazing and checked on us often. When he was occupied with the party next to us, he asked a fellow server to check in. Food is delicious as well. Ribs were perfectly cooked and jambalaya was tasty. Definitely recommend if you're in the area.

    There's a new place in Saint Paul on Selby with southern comfort food. Decent square footage with a full bar. Staff was friendly and service was great. Our waitress was able to recommend a few different options and I was impressed.

    What a lovely new spot in the neighborhood! I was in town visiting my sister and noticed golden thyme while on a walk so I made it my mission to check it out the next morning. We arrived shortly after they opened on a Sunday morning. The space was well lit, with plenty of seating (tables, couches, high tops and chairs). I ordered a flat white with two pumps of lavender. My partner orders an iced caramel drink that he and the barista created (he is trying coffee). I stopped in a second time while in town and I absolutely loved my drink both times it was perfect! The service was fast and friendly. If you are ever in the area definitely check out Golden Thyme. They also have pastries, salads, yogurts, coffee and other snacks for sale.

    Ideal place to catch a early morning vibe. I loved the decor and jazz music playing through the speakers. The olace was vlean and spacious, and service was friendly and fast. i ordered a raspberry Danish and fruit - kinda pricey but satisfying. Would recommend and I will be back

    Delicious lunch and vibe. Highly recommend for business, family or solo visit. I can't wait to go back for dinner. Appetizers were also delightful. Highly recommend shrimp toast. It has a kick!

    I came here with locals while I was at a work conference. I was actually staying in Minneapolis but they came and took me to this place. It started off with great service from the host! She was a very nice and kind lady who offered us seating outside or inside. We ate outside and it was a cute little area. Our server ( which I can't remember his name) was soo attentive to us and giving me time to browse the menu since I was new. He brought extra plates for us to share and tastes each others food. The host actually came and gave us advice about moving purses since our table was next to the side walk which was very kind of her. I ordered the jerk chicken and it did not disappoint! The seasoning was just the right amount of spice and the chicken was well cooked. Overall I was happy that this was the only place I was able to eat at and have a great experience and even better customer service!

I did the build my own for the first time but might go with the standard options next time as I think you get more for the price. It's also confusing what topping options they have since nothing is labeled so it's hard to decide and make quick decisions, especially when you see a line of people behind you. The salad tasted fresh and high quality. You choose your salad toppings, they mix for you and then you checkout. I came on a Tues at 11:30 and there wasn't a line initially but by the time I left there was one forming. They are pricey, but what salad place isn't. My salad was $14 without tax since I added avocado for an additional $1.5.

    We went there before they closed down for renovation…read more Stuffed tofu is definitely my favorite item out of everything on their menu. It was crisp and vegetables inside felt fresh. The sauce that came with it is also a perfect pairing to the dish. The 4 pieces really fill you up so definitely good for its price. Portions are definitely good at this restaurant and you can easily find street parking in the neighborhood behind. Mohinga was okay. It was behind the first two times I came here. The fish cake in Mohinga was tasty as well as the fried peas. The boat noodle has very rich flavor. Broth was good and they gave generous amount of bean sprouts. La Phat Ye was good. They normally don't offer iced but we asked them to change. Overall, it's a great restaurant with decent prices and we hope that we can get back into business ASAP.

    I feel blessed to say that one of the best restaurants I have ever been to in the United States is…read moreliterally right here in the Twin Cities, because the food here is heavenly to the point of me consistently returning despite living far from the establishment. In terms of food, there is a mixture of Burmese, Thai, and Karen dishes, and each one that my friends and I have ordered has been a hit. The tea leaf salad has amazing texture because of peanuts and fried garlic, which provide crunchiness, and has amazing flavor because of lemon juice, fish sauce, and tomatoes. The noodle salad has a light taste without adding the given lime piece, and then the rich nutty taste gets evoked and elevated upon adding lime juice. The zaap crispy has very well-seasoned fried chicken pieces, and medium spice level gives it a good amount of flavor. The shan khao soi is so creamy and tasty that even tasting the curry broth itself is a sensational experience, and the chicken leg included literally has "fall off the bone" meat. The boat noodle has a mixture of sweetness and savor, while the sweet flavor does not overpower anything at all. Finally, the mohinga clearly has fish cake flavor and texture fully infused, making it authentically delicious. We also ordered the knyaw iced salad, which was a mixture of ice along with crackers and other types of sweet ingredients. I thought it was very similar to a type of Vietnamese dessert called chè ba màu (three color pudding), and fully enjoyed it. The establishment only had one dessert, and I thought that was sufficient. While the street contains many excellent restaurants, I personally believe that this establishment stands out in terms of taste. I must also mention that since my friends and I arrived when barely anyone else was there each time we had gone there, we never experienced any service delays that some have mentioned in their reviews. I probably will give this place a 5 rating anyway even if I experience slowness, although I hope I don't.
