Thyme Out

A stalwart of the Didsbury cafe scene, Thyme Out has been going strong since 2006. Locals rave about the brunch menu which, despite fierce competition from the wealth of other independent eateries in the area, manages to stand out.

Highlights include the indulgent breakfast burrito (sausage, pancetta, avocado, scrambled egg, cheese, hash and hollandaise – phew) and the Full Didsbury. There are some decent vegan options too, including their “self-proclaimed best vegan breakfast in Manchester”.

Top quality, freshly made food is the focus here, with locally sourced ingredients and creativity aplenty. So it doesn’t come as a big surprise that they also offer an outside catering service, Thyme Outside, servicing weddings, conferences and private events.

Despite closing in mid-afternoon, they are a licensed premises, with a dangerous range of breakfast cocktails on offer along with beers, wines and spirits. For the more restrained among us, there is great coffee from Heart & Graft, and a wodge of cake if you can find room for it.
