badmanner thymes

lovely breaky with nice coffee - more importantly the staff + service were excellent. spanish bakedeggswere great. would come back and do recommend.

i ventured to this cafe since i wanted to try something new in parramatta. i ordered the pumpkin, sweet potato and corn fritters. it came with beetroot, shaved zucchini, avocado, mixed seeds and poachedeggson toasted sourdough. the dish was pleasant and fresh - i would recommend it to someone wanting a filling and balanced dish.

the atmosphere was quieter than usual for a typical saturday morning. the service attendant might have been in training and/or was new but they weren’t knowledgeable of the food the cafe served or the deals it had on. consequently, the service was below expectations.

i had the spanisheggswith chorizo, which was really tasty and filling. good coffee, quite small though. cute little brunch place. zomato had a 10% off deal which we had some trouble redeeming but otherwise service was ok.

a decenteggsbenedict but nothing special - which sums up my experience of the cafe as decent in every regard but nothing too special. although i think i'd definitely need to try them again because all the other reviews seem to say otherwise.

my boyfriend and i had the spanish bakedeggsand he reckons it’s the best breakfast he’s ever had! we loved it!! awesome atmosphere, friendly staff and a lovely setting... if you’re around the area please try it!

great cafe in parramatta, food was served timely and cooked very well. definitely a place i would visit again with friends. 

ordered theeggsbenedict and the yolk of theeggswere perfect. the food was well presented and the layout of the cafe made the dining experience that much better. 

look forward to trying other items on the menu soon!

relaxed atmosphere and great decor. came here to catch up with a good friend. service was fast and food was great. took the trio benedict and felt a bit queasy at the end. was the last time i would ever ordereggsbenedict from any cafe menu!

really good customer service, the people were very accommodating and lovely. however the food was very average- my friend had theeggsbenedict which was fine and i had the fritters which were near inedible. the drinks were good though but i would not come back.

very friendly and accomodating service. my husband and i ordered the triple poachedeggsand the french toast. because we decided to share the dishes we requested the dishes to be served separate with a 20min interval. when the french toast arrived we were happy surprised that it was already presented on 2 plates.

in short: badmanner thymes serves up delicious looking plates of food that are packed with flavour and substance. i would recommend the bakedeggsif you’re hungry and the french toast if you have a sweet tooth. one of parramatta’s best cafes!. i lived in parramatta for a couple of years back in the day, and philip street back then was quite unremarkable, and far from a dining destination. fast forward to today, and there’s a great little cafe vibe going. in the 100 metre section around horwood place, there’s 3 contemporary styled cafes. on a saturday morning 2 out of the 3 are open, and badmanner thymes is pumping! the cafe is part whimsical, part eclectic and doesn’t follow a formulaic 2017 cafe fit-out brief. it’s dominated by a huge blackboard with cool illustrations. there’s distressed wood panels, and rustic hanging caged lamp shades with exposed squirrel caged element bulbs. there’s plenty of space to dine and even a little room, which on our visit, was filled with participants partaking in a serious board game.  overall it’s a really welcoming atmosphere; warm, cosy with the bass of the latest tunes rumbling in the background.

nice place to chill. not too crowded. the ambience is suitable for quiet catchup with friends, reading or working on your laptop. power plugs can be found near some seats. helpful and friendly staff. we had the spicy bakedeggsand trio benedict. food were value for money. one thing worth mentioning is that the seats are separated from the coffee machine, hence it isn't noisy and you don't have to scream your lungs out to be heard.

call me a country pumpkin and a cheapskate but a trip to parramatta has considerably saved me a few more dollars and brought me a couple surprises. situated along the quiet horwood place near parramatta square, the brunch specialists offer a range of brewtown cronuts, breakfast rolls and reinvented breakfast classics, including the trio benedict, a sumptuous breakfast of three different types ofeggsbenedict.

the taste green benny, or avocado toast with spinach, mushroom and green pea, was very mild and indistinguishable from the regular standardeggsbenny with bacon and spinach. both hollandaise sauce was too mild and could not bridge the raw spinach with the bacon/mushroom. a stronger and more distinct hollandaise sauce would help. the mediterranean style benedict with smoked salmon and spinach was more flavourful but the salmon appears stale and fishy.

badmanner thymes is a great little breakfast spot but be careful what you pick off the menu! the fresh juices are fantastic and so is the muesli however i found on 3 out of 3 occasions the poachedeggsare terrible. theeggsare swimming in vinegar which ruins everything else on the plate (avo, toast, spinach etc). get rid of the vinegar and i'm sure they will taste heaps better!

after hearing so much about badmanner thymes it was about 'thyme' we checked it out! the cafe is located just outside the bustling parramatta cbd. upon arrival we were kindly welcomed and seated by the friendly staff. the cafe was warm and quirky with the option to sit inside or out. we ordered drinks to start as the menu proved tricky to choose from because everything sounded so good! the drinks we chose were the pink lady frappe and a coffee. the pink lady frappe was huge and we ended up sharing it after i'd finished my coffee. it was incredibly refreshing thanks to the ingredients - strawberry, watermelon, lemon and mint and a dash of lemonade to top it off! the coffee tasted incredible too. i even ordered a second one - a rare occasion foras for food, my friend got theeggsbendict trio and i got the bad manner breakfast. we both thought theeggsbenedict trio was such a innovative idea and were keen to see how the 'taste green' and 'mediterranean' versions stacked up against the original 'standard'. the taste greeneggsbenny had avo, spinach, mushrooms and green peas with a pesto hollandaise. it was my friend's least favourite of the trio because the veggies left the bread quite soggy and the flavour was lacking compared to the other two. the mediterraneaneggsbenny had smoked salmon and spinach with a red (maybe sun dried tomato?) hollandaise. this one was very good. the smoked salmon was flavourful but not overpowering. the standardeggsbenny had bacon and spinach with regular hollandaise. the standard couldn't be beaten this time! the bacon was great and the hollandaise was creamy. i do have to say, theeggswere all cooked perfectly and overall the meal was thoroughly enjoyed!

located away from the hustle and bustle of the main parramatta shopping district, badmanner thymes is well worth seeking out. they offer a great value menu, good food and genuine service making for a great dining experience.

dine alfresco or take a seat inside this wonderfully quirky cafe and enjoy meals such as the trio benedict - three beautifully soft poachedeggswith different accompaniments including your traditional bacon, one with salmon and a veg version, all served with spinach for that extra hit of greens, and served on the one plate. a great option for those that can never decide between the bacon (ham) or salmon - have both and get a bonuseggsflorentine with a twist. and all for just $18!

the kimchi and pulled pork burger was full of flavour and filling, and is a great option if you're a fan of tender slow cooked pork.

i'm a big believer that sweet and savoury makes for a perfectly balanced breakfast/brunch so we also had the french toast which was a sensory delight: thick cut eggy toast with caramelised banana, slivers of strawberries, pops of crunchy granola, with vanilla mascarpone and just the right amount of maple syrup. delish!

the meal was complemented with a very pretty fresh juice of greens contributing towards the recommended five serves of veg a day.

definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.
