5 reviews for Thyme
All Reviews
After hearing the rave reviews about Thyme on Yelp, I realised that I just HAD to check out the sarnies for myself. Boy, have I been missing out, they are phenomenal. The selection is torturous because everything looks good. After much deliberating I decided to go for the Thyme House which was a fresh roll stuffed with a generous helping of chicken, avocado and tomatoes with a mustard dressing... I'm drooling just thinking about it. Absolutely. Outstanding.
The prices are very reasonable and my bad boy was around the £3 mark.
If I were you, I'd get myself along to Thyme right NOW!
They have avocados. Full stop. In their sandwiches. And the avocados are ripe. I mean, what more could you possibly want from life? I went there today for a lunch break from work, for the first time ever, and have decided that I won't be able to eat a sandwich anywhere else. Ever. Ok, so I'm exaggerating. But the wrap was pretty damn good.
I had the avocado and pesto dressing wrap, which came with fresh avocados, fresh mozzarella (as opposed to the stuff that you get for pizza), parmesan, walnuts and cherry tomatoes. Yum. The only objection I have to this place is that the wrap was teensy. I mean, I'm used to Green Deli's or Coffee Etc's full wraps, and this one was anorexic. But very tasty. Yes, very tasty indeed.
Thyme is an awesome shop for your lunch-thyme sustenance, and probably one of the best I have been to for take-away sandwiches in the City.
Everything is fresh, the falafel is made by 'Edinburgh's own falafel maker' whoever that might be, and even the coleslaw is made by hand on the premises each day. It's nice to know a bit of love and care has gone into your food.
I like the fact there are plenty of breads and wraps to choose from, not just your regular white or brown, and I opted for a lovely sunflower seed roll filled with sweet chilli tuna, a filling I am going to campaign that every single deli has. It is amazing!
It was probably a wee bitty pricey at around £3, but to be honest I don't mind paying that because it was absolutely lovely.
A five star lunch stop for me.
In an almost spooky coincidence, yesterday I had the exact Bacon, Brie and Cranberry sarnie that Emily T has just waxed lyrical about. It was only second choice actually, due to the fact it was half 2 and they'd ran out of pine nuts, but surely it must be the best second choice I've made in a while.
On a poppyseed roll, I didn't think it looked that exciting when they made it, but the frankly phenomenal taste sensation I experienced sitting outside Our Dynamic Earth really was something to write home about. You could spend 100 quid in a restaurant and not taste anything half as good. It really was tremendous, and if I remember correctly less than £3.
The slice of rocky road afterwards looked and tasted delightfully homemade, and I've no doubt that Thyme will be a regular lunchtime stopoff for me in days to come. I wish they had some seating however, as taking my roll back to the office staffroom and interacting with human beings is not something I want to have to do on my break.

Bacon and Brie and Cranberry - I love you
Honestly,it's the food of the Gods. Every single time I take a bite it hits me. I've tried to make my own version at home but it never seems to be the same. Ugh!!
The staff are really friendly though, they make the sandwiches infront of you, it's sortof like an upper-class Subway. Watch out for the queues though, it's getting more popular...!
