Café · Muswell Hill
Beam is a cosy, plant-filled café on Muswell Hill Broadway with a Mediterranean-inspired menu that's genuinely hard to choose from — think smooth scrambled eggs, kofte wraps, and a good spread of diverse options including vegan dishes. The atmosphere strikes a lovely balance between relaxed and lively, with friendly fast service that makes it easy going with little ones in tow. It's buggy-accessible and has highchairs available, along with a kids' menu, though there's no outdoor seating or baby-changing facilities on site.
The secret to a calmer meal out? Something to do that isn't a phone. Each pack is full of screen-free bits and bobs to keep little hands busy at the table and buy you a proper sit-down. Three printable packs, one for each age (toddler, preschool, primary) — free, straight to your inbox.
