The vegetarians food here is yummy, and they have some really nice cakes and slices (although these are a bit overpriced). However, the service is pretty indifferent, the wait staff aren't very friendly and it's hard to get their attention, perhaps, partly cos the place is so busy, maybe they need more staff...

I am judging this based solely on a single cup of coffee. After reading the reviews below, I was running around city trying to find coffee between 11:40 and midnight. Eventually, I got to Badde Manors, which, actually looks like the pictures of their website except a LOT smaller and actually smells like what its name suggests (cosy old style cafe).

Ok the Vittoria coffee was a real put off for my first impression. I can honestly say, I'm a software engineer (meaning we drink 2+ cups of coffee a day, 365 days a year) that never had a good cup of Vittoria til now. The best Vittoria coffee places rarely manages to overcome the big "robusta bitter" and even then, doesn't pull it off completely despite the huge sign saying it's 100% arabica.

Badde Manors actually managed to surprise me because for the first time Vittoria actually tasted like arabica. It wasn't the best coffee I ever had (no one can beat Single Origin Roasters but it was decent. Will be back to try food.

I am a regular, we rediscovered Badde Manors about a year ago and now eat there at least once a fortnight. It is great to go somewhere where we can eat anything on the menu. The blackboard specials are great. Fab atmosphere. Brekkie or brunch on the weekend also a great experience

I'm not surprised by the mixed reviews for Badde Manors, as the experience really can be a hit or miss. I've never been disappointed by the food, as it is always tasty and ample in serving, not to mention fairly inexpensive.

However the service really does leave a lot to be desired. It really depends on where you sit and how busy the place is. Do not sit out the back in the courtyard as you will probably be ignored. Many times sitting out the back, I have had to wait 15 minutes or so just to order or be acknowledged, but I figure that it really is worth the wait. Coffee quality varies and depends on the barista of course but generally is quite alright.

Overall, a nice, cosy place and quite easy to get to. Service is not fantastic but in my opinion the food makes up for that.

Shocking service! Management had a complete disregard for its customers and tried to charge us for something we did not have. Very unhappy with the experience.

One of my faves. Great lentil burger. The specials board has some fantastic dishes and changes every day. Cosy little place to while away a couple of hours. Good coffee too.

Well known for bad manners. Service is pretty bad, but the ambience is quite nice. Food and coffee is mediocre. Service is non assistance.

This is a great place for a quick tofu burger and a fresh juice. There isn't much ambience, but it is nice enough and the food is great. It's also good value, with huge portions. I couldn't finish my meal, but it was easy to grow an extra stomach for the desserts. Lovely gelato and coffee.
