More Than a Cafe: A Community Force.

Wild Thyme is a not-for-profit social enterprise cafe and catering service, powered by National Joblink. We’re here to create pathways to prosperity in the Cairns community, offering more than just a meal, we offer hope, skills, and a future.

Our Commitment to Local

We’re proud to partner with local producers and source our fresh fruit, veggies, and artisan goods weekly from Cairns’ iconic Rusty’s Market.

Supporting these local growers means our food is not only delicious but helps keep our local economy thriving.

Our Story & Our Mission

Wild Thyme was born from a simple, powerful idea: what if a restaurant could nourish both the body and the community? Founded by NJL, we are a “restaurant with a difference,” where 100% of our profits are reinvested into creating opportunities and providing essential support services.

Our Current Focus: Christmas 2025 & Beyond

We are currently closed for public dining as we focus on our mission through catering. We are now taking bookings for our exclusive Christmas Party Pop-Up Events and Festive Grab & Go Catering. This is the perfect way to enjoy our food and support our cause this holiday season.
