Yesterday my husband and I were on a walk and stopped by to get a little snack. We settled on a chocolate walnut cookie and a molasses cookie. Both were absolutely delicious. I like that they are made of quality ingredients like we'd use in our own kitchen. There were also really tasty looking apple pies, salads, main dishes, and sides. The owners are very kind and helpful. I'm really pleased to have Making Thyme Kitchen in the neighborhood.
You can tell the food is made with love. Prices are equal to that of a restaurant, which is great considering they made it from scratch!
We love pasties and have sampled them from about 15 different shops over the years. Making Thyme Kitchen is tied for first place with a little store near the north shore of Lake Gogebic in the western U.P. I can't remember the name of the place but it's on road 64. Making Thyme's has fresh cuts of sirloin and pork steak in them. It's a treat to have one of the best ones right here in G.R.
The food is always amazing, fresh and delicious. We have never had a bad experience and have been frequenting Making Thyme since they were downtown. We always buy extra to ensure leftovers and never leave without buying one of each type of cookie. If you haven’t been here- why not?! You can not beat the service, they are the nicest couple around.
From out of state, I had the ability to work with the Making Thyme Kitchen and secure last minute cookies for a VERY special group of local students. I am thrilled with the entire experience and I am proud to share a REAL love for their community! Thank you - sincerely. I strongly suggest supporting this local business.
For a couple of years now, I have been ordering food for my elderly parents who live on the east side of the state. Karen and Kenny and Ella make delicious, wholesome, healthy convenient to reheat foods that my parents love. My mother was an excellent cook and they are used to the best but she can no longer cook for them. I buy the meals frozen And they can pull them out of the freezer and eat them each night. The portion sizes are generous for people of their age. They often get two meals out of them. What I love is that these are home-cooked meals with ingredients we understand… It’s the same food my mom would be making. And obviously, since they have survived into their 90s, the food is delicious as well as good for them! On top of that the personalized service and accommodations are just amazing. This is a business I wholeheartedly support and endorse. Thank you, Karen And Kenny!!
This place has been AMAZING! After my Mom passed away, my sister & I have been ordering meals from here for my Dad. They are AMAZING! Everything is homemade, and tastes absolutely wonderful. There is nothing my Dad hasn't liked! Karen & Ken are very helpful & extremely wonderful. This place is truly unlike any other in Grand Rapids! I cannot recommend them enough!!
Thank you Lucas for your kind words. It was Ken, one of the owners, that took your order.
Prepared healthy meal choices and sides. This is a terrific little spot. Good service and flavor, the chicken salad and quinoa was a great combo.
This place is by far one of the cutest places to get food. Everything is homemade at the kitchen, healthy option & they even have freshly prepared take home meals. The sodas they sell at the store is homemade & local. I got the rosemary chicken salad & the sweet pepper coleslaw & it was amazing. The owner Karen was so sweet & very informative & passionate about her business! Highly recommend. & most importantly we will be back ❤️
