Café · Walthamstow
Tucked inside the Blackhorse Workshop maker space in Walthamstow, this indie café serves up seriously good coffee and a food menu worth the trip — though on Sundays it draws a crowd, so a short wait for a table is quite possible (perfect excuse for a croissant). Highchairs are on hand and the café is easy to navigate with a buggy, with some outdoor space to spill into when the weather plays ball. There's a kids' menu and vegan options available, making it a genuinely family-friendly stop in E17.
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.
