Café · Cardiff
Turkish brunch is the reason most families end up here, and it lands well — shakshuka and menemen come out bursting with flavour, the homemade bread is worth asking about (staff will tell you what's freshest that morning), and there's usually a spread of cakes and sweets on the counter, including a chocolate orange one people keep mentioning. It's a small, cosy, prettily decorated room, so the outdoor seating is your friend on a dry day if you've got a buggy in tow. The owner and team are genuinely warm — allergies get taken seriously, vegan and gluten-free choices are properly good, and one parent found the smoothies a highlight. Worth knowing: the Turkish breakfast for two is on the dainty side, so hungry older kids may want a toastie alongside. Free parking, high chairs and a kids' menu all help.
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.
