A small, tidy all-day breakfast spot in Shirley where food comes out fast — drinks first, plates straight after — which matters when someone at the table is running out of patience. It's easy to get a buggy through the door, there are high chairs and a kids' menu, a few tables outside, and free parking so you're not circling the neighbourhood with everyone strapped in. Breakfast is the draw: eggs Benedict done properly, crispy bacon and good pancakes on the American breakfast, Turkish eggs, and freshly squeezed orange juice, plus specials that change and vegan choices on the menu. The welcome is genuinely warm and nothing seems like too much trouble — one parent describes "a real family atmosphere". Prices sit in the reasonable-rather-than-cheap bracket, and the room is cosy, so a big group may be a squeeze.
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.
