OUR STORY

Driven by imagination,
defined by excellence

For over 18 years, About Thyme has brought artistry, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to quality to every table in Los Angeles.

Who We Are

More than great food — it's about your vision

About Thyme is a full-service catering company driven by imagination, innovation, and integrity. We are dedicated to giving you an event that is truly, genuinely memorable — one that surpasses every expectation.

Our team includes a "farmers chef" devoted to sourcing from local farms, a pastry chef who approaches every dessert as an art form, and a dedicated design department to bring your aesthetic vision to life. We don't just feed guests — we craft experiences.

 

GIVING BACK - We donate food to food banks, shelters, and adhere to no waste practices.​

"They provided food for our Winter Shelter Programs where nightly we served 300 individuals. Thank you for providing such delicious food for an important cause"

— Carrie,  Union Rescue Mission
