About us

Larder and Thyme is a small, family run cafe with a big heart. Serving Ferntree Gully and surrounding suburbs, we specialise in take-home meals that see people through all phases and stages of life. Our cafe dine in menu is nostalgic, and combined with our home made sweets, has a tendency to make customers feel \'at home\'.

While we pride ourselves on making everything in house, our retail selection is a collection of the best products available locally, so that we can support our local community.

At Larder and Thyme, we value every customer that walks through the door, and we want them to feel that our little cafe is a place of connection and support.

You will be working with a small team, helping with the preparation of good quality meals that feel like home, for our local community, alongside items for our dine in/take home menu.
