OUR MISSION

Date & Thyme’s mission is to improve the lives and well-being of our community, inspiring positive choices that nourish body, mind and spirit.

WHO WE ARE

Date & Thyme is a neighborhood store offering fresh, healthy, organic food and products that support well-being and a balanced lifestyle. It is a place to shop, connect, and be uplifted. ​

OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES

We care about people and the planet above anything else, living in harmony with each other and the earth we walk upon.

We are dedicated to the integrity of our products and services, believing that natural and organic food is an essential part of our health and wellness.

We are dedicated to leading with our hearts, creating a community that supports, recognizes and celebrates each other, inspiring our collective and personal best.

OUR BELIEFS

There is a date and time in our lives when we understand that our old ways of eating, acting, thinking, or feeling no longer serve us. We realize that change is possible, and that we can help ourselves. We believe that true health and wellness come not only from the food we eat, but the thoughts we think, the actions we take, and how we choose to live our everyday lives. To live life well is to nourish body, mind, and spirit. The date and time is now!

​Community is at the heart of Date & Thyme. Bringing people together who share the same ideals and who are inspired to be part of a transformative movement, is the core of who we are. Each choice we make has an impact on our own lives and that of the planet. Together we can make a difference.

OUR TEAM COMMITMENTS

  •  We strive to do our best, approaching everything with the utmost care and consideration. 
  • We maintain a high level of cleanliness and professionalism in all that we do. This includes caring for the facilities, the equipment, and all the tools that make our work possible.
  • Customer service is paramount. We strive to go above and beyond in making a person feel valued and taken care of.
  • We are honest and in integrity with ourselves and each other.
  • We demonstrate connection, care, and support within our team, communicating clearly, acknowledging and voicing our needs.
  • We believe in equality. We do not judge another, talk unfairly about another, put ourselves above or below another. We recognize that regardless of our roles, race, or gender, as humans we are all equal. 
  • We believe that joy and celebration is an important part of life, and that when we embody that within ourselves we uplift others.
  • We believe that we are all imperfectly perfect, and we are enough.

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, Charlotte 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 (we couldn't fit any more!), began to grow into something greater.
 
In 2012, the time was right to take another step forward. We expanded our business, taking over the laundromat adjacent to our cafe to open our retail store, and expand our offerings in the cafe. The mission remained the same: provide the freshest organic food possible and make living well easy and accessible to all. 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. To this day, Date & Thyme is the largest purveyor of organic & local produce in Key West.
​
Today, Date & Thyme employs about thirty dedicated staff members who all help make our mission 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.
