badmanner thymes

thumbs up!. awesome place,greatatmosphere and friendly staff!
the food is delicious and you really getgreatvalue for your money.
it's on the quieter part of parramatta, and is a really nice place to relax and catch up with friends over coffee. has a really nice homey feel and has a good variety of foods catering for those who have special food requirements such as vegetarian and vegan.
highly recommend this place :)

the name of this place is what caught my attention when i walked by. true the roast pumpkin and chicken salad and it was simply delicious although had a bit too much olive oil. the chicken was cooked perfectly and wonderfully flavoured. the coffee was big and tastedgreat- very good value for money

it was agreatexperience we have lived in parramatta for 2 years but didn’t know this place it is shame :(
i ordered prawn risotto with avo it wasgreat! prawns were so fresh n big enough to make me happy
my friend ordered chicken salad (sort of) it was also so generous in portion and tasted good enough


coffee was a little burnt but it was okay :) deserve to spend ur time n money here :)

relaxed atmosphere andgreatdecor. 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 order eggs benedict from any cafe menu!

in short: badmanner thymes serves up delicious looking plates of food that are packed with flavour and substance. i would recommend the baked eggs if 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 agreatlittle 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.

this place is in a cute little location away from the hustle and bustle of the busy main street.
service wasgreatand the waiters were super polite.
food came out in a timely manner and was presented beautifully.
taste wasgreattoo.
there is plenty of seating available inside and outside and is easy to get to whether you're driving (there is parking available on the street or a cheap car park across the road) or coming by public transport.
would definitely recommend this place for eats with family and friends.

badmanner thymes is agreatlittle 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 poached eggs are terrible. the eggs are 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 the eggs bendict trio and i got the bad manner breakfast. we both thought the eggs benedict 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 green eggs benny 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 mediterranean eggs benny 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 standard eggs benny had bacon and spinach with regular hollandaise. the standard couldn't be beaten this time! the bacon wasgreatand the hollandaise was creamy. i do have to say, the eggs were all cooked perfectly and overall the meal was thoroughly enjoyed!

great cafe with a menu to suit all. i ordered a new item, mediterranean breakfast. it included new house made croquettes and haloumi which was great. the real highlight was the french toast. the caramelized banana and ice cream (for summer) was agreatcombo.

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

dine alfresco or take a seat inside this wonderfully quirky cafe and enjoy meals such as the trio benedict - three beautifully soft poached eggs with 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. agreatoption for those that can never decide between the bacon (ham) or salmon - have both and get a bonus eggs florentine with a twist. and all for just $18!

the kimchi and pulled pork burger was full of flavour and filling, and is agreatoption 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.

if you're like me and cant decide - go for the trio benedict - it's got every kind of eggs benedict there is on one plate and will not let you down!  it's perfect, there's a bacon/spinach, then mediterranean with smoke salmon, and the third is avocado and spinach!kimchi pulled burger was really good!   it didnt have the kimchi bitterness i expected and sat more on a sweet side because of the apple slaw and aioli that breathe life into the 6 hour cooked pulled pork!   i'm not a french toast kind of person and was not aware this classic dish had been given the ultimate makeover across all cafes since last i had it about 3 or 4 prime ministers ago and i was gobsmacked.   it's like dishes were fused together here - with the strawberries and cream, granola trails around the plate with the delicate thick cut of french toast tucked at its base!   definitely my favorite of the meal!!!

from organic teas, frappes, coffee, smoothies and cold drips - the sunny day called for a fresh juice and it was a nice refresher that was weaved in sip by sip throughout the meal.  

tropical - watermelon, orange, pineapple and lemon was perfect!

we started off outside which was nice and then moved inside to the modern street art covered walls inside!  greatfriendly service, super fast wait times (bout 14 minutes) from the time of order andgreatambience.  would definitely come visit again!

this place is hard to spot because well it is in a calm lane but it will be hard to forget once you have been there . what a quirky interior . it will surely keep you occupied till your food arrives. ordered egg benedict with salmon and egg sandwich. the serving was sumptuous . not a fancy presentation but it was delicious and filling . nicely prepared. coffee was good notgreat. staff was super nice and friendly.

food : good 😊
drinks :great😁
service :great😁

so the new menu came out today & we had the privilege of trying out some of the new dishes ... i think. being our first time here the service was great. very friendly staff with plenty of smiles around. the food was good. the salt and pepper calamari was okay. could of been more crispier and maybe more sauce but the side salad was really good. the breakfast bruschetta was hella nice 👌🏼& the drinks are cool and refreshing. it's defs worth a try

i had the french toast and detox juice. looking at the menu, you will straight away notice the fantastic prices. $9 for the french toast was immensely appealing and when it came out, i was not disappointed. the gelato was good, fruit really fresh, and loved the strong cinnamon taste!greatvalue. the juice was nice too and they give you quite a bit but it is pretty standard juice pricing. also from memory it was supposed to be apple, orange, lemon, celery, and ginger, but i felt they had put way too much lemon (and ginger) as it was really sour. could be because i'm not too good with sour foods though. it was still drinkable and felt quite healthy and refreshing.

staff are really laid back and friendly. a nice cafe to visit in the parramatta area.

quirky name + amusing decor + friendly service =greatdining experience 😊 i had the hangover burger, which is like a bruschetta waking up in the morning with an eggs benedict without the sauce...a very pleasant experience, mind you 😘 the coffee was superb, without any hint of sourness that you can sometimes get. one of the better places to head to if you're in the parramatta area!
