To Yzerfonteiners and locals of the surrounding area as well as visitors just passing through, you owe it to yourself to pay a visit to Rust And Thyme Cafe in Pearl Bay. Everything from the decor, the ambience, the food, the heavenly cakes, the owners and staff are simply next level.......but what will surprise you in the most pleasant fashion.......is that the prices are not next level!
Many centuries ago Marie Antoinette uttered the words: "Let them eat cake..," and today Rust In Thyme brings those words to life boasting a variety of heavenly cake creations, served in a place where for a moment you might imagine you are being served high tea in some grand castle somewhere in France. And as delicious and fresh the unusual cakes (for example the chocolate brownie cheesecake) are, just as delightful are the furniture and decor, carrying you back to a time of elegance and splendour.
There are peaceful and comfortable nooks with a bookshelf on hand to entice you to linger a bit longer. It is coffee time all day long, but their all day breakfasts come highly recommended and the lunches are light and hearty, just the sort of meal one needs after spending some time at the beach.
