Café · Carlisle
A quiet spot in the middle of Carlisle for a coffee and something to eat, this one is set up properly for children rather than just tolerating them — high chairs on hand and a kids' menu means a toddler can be fed without a special errand. Step-free access means you can push a buggy straight in instead of folding it at the door or hunting for someone to hold it. Gluten-free options are there too, which helps if one of yours has to avoid it. The calmer atmosphere suits a baby who naps in the pram, though it does mean a loud toddler will be heard.
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.
