badmanner thymes

went here today on a friend's recommendation for brunch. even though the price is alright, the food was okay-ish. the best food out of all the four we took was the burger. the patty was huge and juicy and there was an egg in between. the omelette (which i had) was normal. it had a good portion of mushroom and spinach and the buttered toast went well with it. the staff at this cafe was not friendly at all. except for the girl no one cracked a smile and they never came to us with the menu.

this café is just what parramatta needed. so cute. so trendy and serves great food. the service can only be described as "entertaining" as they have one particular female staff member (cant remember her name - sorry) that just makes the whole food experience "entertaining" with her bubbly and outgoing personality. the food is different to the countless mainstream cafes parramatta has so its definitely worth a visit. love this place and has become a regular coffee and breaky spot for me and my friends.

loved it!! came for breakfast on a sunday and it was amazing. hubby got super breakfast which was huge with everything on it. the sourdough bread was delicious and the coffee soooo good. two breakfasts and 3 coffees came to $32! couldn't believe it - such good value and delicious made with love. way better service than paper plane too.

this place is always consistent in food since day one. scott the bossman is always kind and friendly and you will most certainly get attentive customer service. signature dish is the kim chi burger.. but please get a tim tam milkshake - it's amazing !

great spot in parra. ample seating both inside and outside. they have the famous kimchi burger which is not for anyone with a small appetite. generous servings to say the least. the french toast is decadent and their green juice so refreshing.

chicken supreme (brioche bun. maybe the best chicken burger i've ever had

cronuts! now that i have yo.... cronuts!
now that i have your attention, i want to talk about how amazing this cafe is.
after going there for lunch on saturday, i have been trying to work my next legitimate excuse to go back.
the menu was so varied and incredible. i had the chicken burger and it may have been one of the best i've ever eaten. the coffee was delicious and the atmosphere relaxing and welcoming. and the cronuts are no joke- these are brewtown newtown cronuts and now i know i can get them so close to home i am genuinely worried for my health.
but despite all this amazingness, my favourite thing about badmanner thyme was the service. my friends and i were served by cassie, who is the best waitress i have ever met. from the moment i sat down, she was personable, hilarious and professional. she took the order of 7 people at our table without a pen or paper, including alterations, like it was nothing. she presented the specials menu with a pride and excitement you can tell is genuine- this chick loves her job and it makes all the difference. and the chit chat!! she came back multiple times to chat to our group, making us feel even more at home. i want badmanner thymes to become my friends local hang out, where we will discuss our lives and shenanigans, just like the gang from friends do in central perk. except cassie is no gunther hanging awkwardly in the background- she will be right there on the couch with us.
do yourself a favor and go to badmanner thyme. you won't regret it!

cafe win!. badmanner thymes - one word. four syllables. in-cred-i-ble! this is, in all honesty, the best cafe/breakfast/brunch/lunch spot i have ever been to!

tucked along a quiet street in parramatta, we booked a table for 7 people for lunch and were served quickly by cassie, the greatest waitress/breakfast and lunch menu speil-er/order rememberer of all time! (she was wearing a tim michin t-shirt. 'nuff said.) the interior was awesome - wooden tables and chairs, alice in wonderland pillows, flowers and tea pots along the walls, and a huge mirror to check ourselves out in. excellent.

the menu was epic - lots of breakfast and lunch options, but the real treat was the specials list - too many delicious options! omelettes! thai beef salad! muesli! breakfast wraps with chorizo (the real winners get extra cheese!) snapper! cronuts! cronuts with poached eggs! haloumi stack! too many amazing options! after our coffee order (cappuccino, latte, espressos, orange juices were downed and enjoyed by all) we ordered our mains - chicken supreme burger (one with a brioche bun and one with gluten free bread), kimchi burger, grilled salmon with roast pumpkin, salad and mango salsa, and a fig and prosciutto salad - oh mother of all that is good and holy.

the food was innnnnnnncredible! we all absolutely devoured our delicious delicious food. the burgers were huge! with the egg yolk drippy, fried onion crispy and the chicken juicy and so succulent! the kimchi burger was an awesome and spicy with crunchy cabbage, crispy sweet potato crisps and sweet sesame dressing. the salmon dish was the perfect fusion of flavours - the flaky melty salmon, the hearty soft roast pumpkin and the fresh burst of summer with the mango salsa. the fig and prosciutto salad was divine - the figs were pink and juicy, the prosciutto salty and streaky, with crunchy almond slivers and fresh radicchio and red onion. completely amazing and yum yum yummy!

after we had stuffed ourselves, the lovely cassie came to tell us the cronut flavours - lemon curd, gingerbread, cinnamon, maple glazed, and salted caramel and macadamia. after we wiped off our drool, we decided to take away some cronuts, but not before cassie gave one of the members of our lunch party (who was going overseas the day after!) a complimentary cronut and wished her a safe trip! so sweet!! we left there happy, full, and already planning the next time we could return to try everything else in the menu!

just want to give a massive shout out to cassie, the best waitress i've ever had, who was honestly like a friend towards the end! she was warm, helpful, funny, super informative, had great ideas about new table number presentations, understands the appeal of online shopping (even if it was for salt and pepper shakers!), a fabulous photographer, and had a great taste in musicians - thank you for making my friends and i feel so welcome! we honestly cannot wait to come back see you again, and have more delicious food!

my first brunch out in sydney and last before i headed on my overseas trip, but now i am finally back to review more restaurants for you all, and hopefully some christmas recipes will be coming your way also. my vietnam/singapore posts will be up within this month, but firstly let's review badmanner thymes :) i remember when this little café first opened up in my hometown, and essentially it was just a cake and coffee store, but it is great to see it blossom into a contestable café, with a tasty and growing menu, and a wide variety of drinks!

awesome cafe. i went to parramatta for brunch today and stumbled upon this quaint cafe. the food was amazing! the servings are very generous and the price is perfect. the staff was very polite and i met the owner who is a lovely man.

can't wait to come back during this week to grab some cronuts and try the cruffins (crossiant + muffins stuffed with nutella!)

badmanner thymes cafe whilst not being really big inside has such a home cosy feeling with the cafe being quite compact. there's outside seating too so fear not ! i think i'm just in love with anything that has plants and chalk boards, because i just want to take the front entrance home. because it's only been opening up on saturdays recently, i hadn't had the chance to pop by. b and i start off with a latte which turns out to be a little weaker than he's used to, but making it really easy for me, for a non coffee dri

parramatta is certainly upping the cafe scene with new cafes opening up thick and fast. one of which is badmanner thymes espresso. i know not why it has an unusual name but i have made a note to ask the owners one day! badmanner recently started opening on saturdays. thank goodness or i would not have had a chance to check it out! it is a rather small cafe space wise but they managed to add a lot of personality to the decor. a sofa resides against one wall, with a guitar to the side and some art deco posters add to the feeling of hipster. on our almost noon visit, we ordered a combination of breakfast and lunch dishes. eggs benedict with smoked salmon, spinach, topped with home made hollandaise sauce on sourdough bread. the dish looked 'eggsmazing'!! sorry, i had to make that one up! i had a bite to try and there was a nice combination of flavours. beef bulgogi roll with marinated thin slices of oyster blade beef, pickled white radish, spanish onions, sweet potato chips and spinach wit

finally… cronuts in parramatta!!! – badmanner thymes offers a unique breakfast / brunch menu which is different from other cafes with a korean flare. it’s located just off george st, parramatta on the opposite side of paper planes cafe which is convenient if you cant be bothered waiting and want something quicker, satisfying and relaxing without feeling rushed. also, if you love cronuts and live in the west, no point traveling out to newtown when you can get them here kimchi burger – served with sweet potato chips, pulled pork, cabbage slaw on a golden brown brioche bun bulgogi roll - thin slithers of generous marinated beef in a wholemeal roll, wasabi aoili served with sweet potato chips and picked white radish cronuts – i am a huge fan of jam cronuts,

epic kimchi burger ($15) and bulgogi roll ($13) ftw!

badmanner thymes is a great new weekend addition to parramatta's weekend eating options. the cafe is cute, has great coffee, a good menu and some really friendly staff. at the moment they are just opening saturdays (til about 4pm) but hope to open up on sundays in october(ish).
