Café · Hastings
A bakery café where the counter does a lot of the work for you — kids' menu portions alongside whatever's out on display, so a fussy eater has options and you're not committing to a big sit-down meal. High chairs are there, and it's step-free with a buggy, which is one less thing to think about. Vegan and gluten-free options mean a mixed group can all eat. It's a lively room, so a noisy toddler won't stand out, and there's outdoor seating if you'd rather be out of the hubbub. Cheap, too.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
