Cafés · Broadstone
What makes this one work with children is space — the tables are laid out generously and there's so much seating that regulars reckon it'll never be properly full, so a pram can sit beside you rather than wedged in a doorway. Service is usually quick, which matters when someone's patience is fraying, and the staff are warm about getting you settled. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, vegan options and free parking, plus a big garden for warmer months — it's ringed by buildings and the heaters don't reach every table, so save it for a sunny day. Brunch is the draw: pancakes, the New York breakfast, a baked potato people describe as huge, and a properly made flat white. Worth knowing it's a little pricey for a café, and the full cooked breakfast can be hit and miss.
