We were making our way home from Algonquin. After a weekend of hikes and outdoors. A place with some home-cooked meals was needed. I searched and cane across this little gem. The French onion soup was delicious along with the sour dough bun. I also purchased a small carrot cake, that was delicious!! Would definitely recommend.

Happened upon this place by accident, but it seems like it was fate!! The food was amazing. I had the French onion soup and egg salad on foccacia and both were delicious. I also bought a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting to take home and it was so tasty. I would definitely recommend Fine Thymes if youre in Bracebridge and looking for a quaint spot with great food.

Absolutely delicious food in a heartfelt, homey atmosphere. Lots of cheese-heavy food options and a great community. If you re in a rush this might not be the best place, but we loved our server Elizabeth and the food was incredible. Well priced. Dietary restrictions: Options for gluten free. Not much for vegans or lactose intolerant lots of cheese heavy dishes.

Today I got a sandwich and choose a Ham and Swiss cheese on a bun. It came promptly with a good portion of both Ham and Cheese with lettuce, tomato, and a very tasty sweet mustard. First Class. And a latte for only $4. Delicious. And I got three frozen soups all outstanding. Vegetarian options: Gluten free

The food is tasty and all fresh whole ingredients but I was disappointed with the serving size for the price. I ordered the chicken club sandwich and it was smaller than the side plate it was served on. By the time I tipped them it was a $16 sandwich with no side dish or beverage added. The service is fast and very friendly. The restaurant seemed clean. It would be great for a light lunch but dont look to be filled up.

This place is a hidden gem. Homemade soups, sandwiches and baked goods. Excellent quality. They also sell their food frozen to take home such as chicken pot pie, lasagna and desserts. Their carrot cake blows my mind! Unfortunately, due to a fire last summer, they are no closed for refurbishment. Hope to see them open again soon. Hurray...they are open again! Same great place.

Charming café in downtown Bracebridge. Many small details show the proprietors care about their establishment. The food is simple but very well done - soups, salads, sandwiches. Baked goods look great but didnt try them. Would definitely recommend for couples or families looking for a quick and healthy meal in town.
