Coffee Shops · Durham
Tucked into a beautifully converted old post office in High Shincliffe, this little café has a kids' corner that keeps small ones busy while you actually drink your coffee hot. Families who've come here for years with babies and toddlers say the service stays quick even when it's busy — genuinely useful when someone's hungry — and there's always a high chair going. Portions are generous and better value than a typical coffee shop, the baking is homemade, and the scones get raved about, cheese ones included. Sausage rolls, quiches, soups and toasties all get a mention, and babyccinos keep the little ones happy. Free parking, seating indoors or out, and a browsable shelf of gifts. It's small and cosy rather than roomy, so a big pram may need parking by the door.
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.
