The Face of World-Class Dessert
Pastry Chef | Harvest Thyme Tavern
Nestled in the Davidsonville countryside is Harvest Thyme Tavern, owned by Pastry Chef Pam Squillari and Executive Chef Rik Squillari. They met at the Culinary Institute of America, both with a passion for cuisine in their DNA. A third-generation American chef and descendant of Italian immigrants, Rik grew up in a family of chefs and restauranteurs. Pam’s passion for baking bread and pastry can be traced back to her family’s long line of eastern European bakers.
In 2017, they decided to create something of their own, and the idea for Harvest Thyme Tavern was born. Over the last five years, it’s become a favorite among the locals with a friendly, down-to-earth vibe. A driving force has been Chef Pam’s made-from-scratch desserts, which have created a cult-like following.
Her signature dessert is a NY Style Cheesecake with various flavors inspired by what is in season at local farms. Crowd favorites include her Heirloom Blue Hubbard Pumpkin Cheesecake and Brownie Bottom Cheesecake. Sweet!
