About Ciao Thyme

Food at Ciao Thyme

The food is made fresh each day and changes with what the kitchen is cooking. Reviewers single out the Reuben and the Philly cheesesteak, both served on thick bread with a side salad, and the Egyptian breakfast of poached eggs, tahini, feta, dukkah and avocado on sourdough. A salad buffet, pies and a kids' menu are also on offer, and gluten-free bread is available. Prices run higher than most cafes, and a reviewer notes the signature sandwiches cost around $30.
