There is a little green gingerbread building in the midst of Glen Arbor with its door beckoning you to enter. The signs posted announce tea and pastries, and you are visiting “Thyme Out”. You walk into a lovely space filled with delicate pastries, cakes, tortes and other edibles as well as colorful and fun ware reminding you of summer celebrations and entertainment. This little place is tastefully restored and the transformation over the last five years has raised many questions in the community about the fate of the building.

Read an excerpt from M. Leth Soerenson’s story “These Calories can do you no harm” which ran in the Glen Arbor Sun in August 2002:

The display of sweets includes luscious looking tart cherry tarts in pastry shell with hazelnut crusts, mascarpone and white chocolate fruit tart with chocolate crust, lemon cheesecake tarts, cherry clafouti with cherry cabernet, walnut caramel nut bars with chocolate glaze, coconut lovers bars and espresso mousse. On the counter is a display of a variety of truffles and shortbreads and the shelves display a variety of specialty jams, sauces, salad dressings and salsas. Thyme Out is also a place where you can find unique gifts. Here are picnic baskets with all you need as well as colorful and artsy gift items and paper products for fun eating.
