Tucked on Allandale Road, this is the kind of small café parents stumble on by accident — several people found it while waiting on car repairs nearby — and then keep coming back to. Breakfast is the draw: the Eggs Benedict and Eggs Royale get genuine raptures, the coffee is good, and there's homemade cake and a proper chicken pie if you're in later. Free parking helps, and so does the garden area, which is a calm spot to let children out while you finish a drink. There are high chairs, a kids' menu, vegan choices and buggy access, and the owners are attentive without hovering — nothing is too much trouble. Honestly, the interior is plain compared to smarter places on the same street, but it's rarely rammed, which is half the appeal with a toddler. One parent called it "the most peaceful breakfast I've had in a long time".

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.
