Oat & Bean
A relaxed Cardiff coffee shop with vegan options and a 4.7 rating — an easygoing stop for families.

Café · Cardiff
A little coffee hut on the edge of the park near the National Museum, this is the sort of stop that rescues a walk into town. Everything is outdoors, so there's plenty of room to park a pram and let children be a bit loud without anyone minding, and buggy access is easy across the seating area. The team are genuinely warm — one family mentioned the staff overheard the hot chocolates were for the children and made sure they weren't too hot, which tells you a lot. Service is quick, which matters when someone's flagging. Toasties, banana and Biscoff cake in a generous slab, and Biscoff biscuit sandwiches all get raved about, and there's a kids' menu, high chairs and vegan options. The obvious snag: it's outdoor seating, so a wet day makes it a takeaway-and-walk rather than a sit-down.

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.
