OUR STORY

Our business began as a small cafe in 2008, and while we have expanded to include other areas of wellness over the years, the cafe remains the heartbeat of Date & Thyme. Focusing on fresh organic foods and making everything from scratch, our emphasis has always been on serving the most nourishing food possible.

Date & Thyme began as a one room operation, in a charming little space that what was once an early-twentieth century gas station. In less than 300 square feet, the founder Charlotte Sophia and her team turned out breakfast, lunch, coffee and freshly-made smoothies every day. After much hard work and passion, what began with two or three employees at a time began to grow into something greater.
 
In 2012, we expanded our business into the footprint it is today, taking over the adjacent space to create our retail store and expand our offerings in the cafe. With the addition of our market, we were able to provide our community with a broader array of wholesome food and natural groceries. Now with a 10-door walk-in cooler, we were finally able to offer organic produce on a regular basis. To this day, Date & Thyme is the largest purveyor of organic & local produce in Key West.
​
In 2022, Charlotte was ready to pass the business on to its next owners, and she found the perfect couple to take the reigns and make it their own. Bob and Lindsey Finer, embarked on their own adventure with this thriving cafe and community hub, lending it fresh new energy while staying true to the Date & Thyme mission of fresh, organic food for our community. Today, Date & Thyme employs about thirty dedicated staff members who all help make it possible day in and day out. We've come a long way from our early days in our one-room shop, but our passion and our purpose remain the same, and continue to inspire us.
