Sweet Thyme Bakery is known for its dedication to creating high-quality baked goods that emphasize natural flavors and ingredients. The bakery offers a variety of products, including classic cakes, custom cakes, and a selection of other desserts. Their classic cakes are particularly noted for being made with sponge cake and decorated with fresh-made whipped cream, without the addition of food coloring or extracts. This approach ensures that the cakes not only taste natural but also have a pleasing, authentic appearance.

Sabrina’s take: Everything is freshly made and the owners are super friendly. Specializing in Chinese pastries, they also have bubble tea, and do a lot with the Chinese community here in Lexington. You have to get their jasmine boba!
