Sad thymes: Wild Thyme Cafe is closing today at 4pm!

I just saw the post on their facebook.  I'm quite sad that we didn't get the chance to go there more often. 
What a sad development.  Below is the post:

"It saddens me to announce the closing of Wild Thyme Cafe, Saturday, August 13, 2011 at 4 PM. They say location, location and it's true. Our little restaurant is just too small to and too far off the high traffic area to produce enough income to keep going. I have a fantastic staff of people who loved Wild Thyme as much as I did and gave so much to the success of the restaurant in quality of food and service. This was a new concept and I think the people who did frequent us appreciated our food as much as we appreciated them as customers. Anyone holding unusedgift certificates please call me at 305-1396 all gift certificates will be redeemed. Also all upcoming catering events will be completed. It was a great 9 months working in the Maize, my home for many years."

 

Extra stuff from Wild Thyme Cafe

I took lots of pictures from our trip to Wild Thyme Cafe in Maize.  There were things we didn't eat that I thought I should include. 


Here are some more pictures of the dessert too. 

Wild Thyme Cafe- Part 2: Dessert

This place is amazing.  While I loved dinner, dessert took the proverbial cake at Wild Thyme Cafe in Maize. 

The Red Velvet cupcake was my favorite.  It was not as dense as most cupcakes.  The cream cheese topping was incredible. 

The Bread pudding was hot and burned the top of my mouth.  It was soft and fluffy.  The almonds felt unnecessary to me but the cherries were a wonderful addition. 

Finally, the carrot cake was popular with everyone at my table.  It was moist and had a cheese-like topping similar to the cupcake.  There was something in it I couldn't place that I didn't really like.  Everyone else at the table overruled me so don't take my word on this one. 

Wild Thyme Cafe- Part 1: Main Course

Recently many of you have encouraged me to try Wild Thyme Cafe in Maize.  There were only a few problems, I had no money and it was IN MAIZE!!  Little did I know it would only take us about 15 minutes to get there and we had friends who wanted to treat us!

First off, we were quite hungry and had to try the dinner roll.  It was moist and well spiced.   With some butter it was quite enjoyable.  Certainly more dense than a normal roll, it was consumed with ferocity. 

For the main course my wife had a Turkey Avocado Sandwich with a cheesy spread.  She loved it.  She said it was so moist.  Also the bacon was nitrate free which is nice since she is prego with our second child and is discouraged to eat anything with nitrates/nitrites.

I had the beef sandwich with gluten free bread.  It had a roasted garlic jam.  The sweet/beefy/cheesy/spicy combo was like a party in my mouth.  It was a little too spicy for me but I loved every bite.  Between my ten waters I cooled down with crackers and hummus.

My Beefy sandwich.

This is one of the best options for a celiac in all of Wichita.                                                                     I will include information about the amazing desserts in a few days!
