Café de Thyme, a Bangkok-based café known for its thoughtfully crafted drinks and desserts, has chosen Columbia, South Carolina as the home of its first U.S. location. Nestled on Sumter Street, this new addition brings an international flair to the local coffee scene, offering a fresh take on the café experience with roots in Thailand’s vibrant café culture.

The menu leans into the classics—think coffee, tea, and a variety of sweet treats—but it’s the attention to detail and thoughtful presentation that sets things apart. Whether it’s a beautifully crafted latte or a dessert that looks almost too good to eat, everything here is made with care.

The café’s presence adds something a little different to Columbia’s growing lineup of independent coffee shops. It’s not just about grabbing a quick cup—it’s about slowing down, enjoying a well-made drink, and maybe discovering something new in the process. Whether you’re stopping in for a quiet break, a casual meeting, or just curious about a Bangkok café setting up shop in South Carolina, Café de Thyme offers a fresh experience in a familiar format.
