The Schott Building was designed in the Romanesque Revival style by prominent Quincy architect John Batschy in 1893. Its four floors served a variety of businesses, including the legendary Busy Bee Mercantile store from 1929 to 2004. |
In October, 2016, Thyme Square Cafe relocated and expanded to become Thyme Square Bakery & Cafe in the historic Schott Building, a block away from their original location. The additional space has allowed Thyme Square to expand their menu to include hand-made desserts, pastries, ice cream & sorbets, craft beers & cocktails, and an authentic artisan bread bakery. Thyme Square's dedication to local foods has resulted in over $1,000,000 in income to Quincy area farms that continues to circulate throughout the community and offers diners an all-natural, hand-made alternative to over-processed food.
