Café · Hackney
Beans & Bites is a brunch café on Morning Lane with a large, varied menu that should keep everyone happy — including little ones, who have their own kids' menu to choose from. The space is generously sized, so getting seated with a buggy is straightforward, and there's outdoor space too; highchairs are usually available, though it's worth calling ahead to confirm. Vegan options are on the menu, and while most visitors find the staff warm and welcoming, service can occasionally vary depending on who you get — worth knowing if you're after a relaxed family morning out.
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.
