This cozy and adorable cafe deserves all the stars. When you walk in, the smell of garlic and spices is enchanting. The atmosphere is pleasant and endearing indoors, with an outdoor area too. The food is homemade and fantastic - everything we ate was absolutely delicious. This is the place!

Once Upon a Thyme was a wonderful place to stop on our way out of town! We arrived just before the lunch rush, so we were able to get a table right away, and the food came out quickly. There’s a great variety to choose from, and everything is made fresh. The sandwiches are made to order, and the chicken and other meats are smoked on-site, which really adds to the flavor. The wraps were big enough to share, and everything tasted amazing. There’s plenty of parking both in the lot and on the street. The pastries looked absolutely delicious—I wish I had picked one up! The decor is super cute, and the staff was incredibly friendly. As we sat and enjoyed our food, we noticed that this place had been featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives with Guy Fieri—and I can totally see why! Great job, y’all—keep up the awesome work. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re traveling the I-5!

I saw this restaurant a few years ago featured on Diners, Drive-ins & Dives. When I saw it was located in Chehalis, I was excited because I have family that lives there, so I told my Aunt Elaine, next time I visit, I’d like to try it out. So, yesterday was the day and it did not disappoint. The only thing was, that it isn’t located in my town!! I had the chicken pesto hot sandwich. So delicious. I highly recommend this cute diner and I will definitely be back!!
