Cafés · Epsom
Tucked in Epsom with a courtyard where you can genuinely hear birdsong, this bakery-café is the kind of pretty spot that still works with a pram and a toddler in tow. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and free parking, so the logistics are sorted before you sit down. The jacket potatoes get particular love — fluffy inside, properly crisp skin — and the scones arrive warm with real clotted cream. Cakes are the main event, though: lemon drizzle, carrot, chocolate, all made in-house, and they'll box up sandwiches and sausage rolls if you'd rather picnic. Gluten-free and vegan options are handled without fuss. Two honest notes: service can be slow when they're busy, so bring a distraction, and the front-of-house manner divides opinion — most find it warm, some have found it sharp.
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.
