Café · Southampton
An all-vegan spot in the middle of Southampton that's become a genuine go-to for families, with buggy access, high chairs, a kids' menu and outdoor tables. Seating runs across two floors — the ground floor is the easier bet with a pram, since the toilets are upstairs. The food is the draw: hearty breakfasts including scrambled tofu that convinces confirmed meat-eaters, loaded fries, "meaty" burgers, hot dogs, salads and a dessert counter that regulars call insane. Portions are generous and prices reasonable for what arrives. The team are warm and welcoming, and service stays quick even when it's full — worth knowing, because it does get busy at weekends and around holidays. There's also a small shop counter of chocolates, snacks and take-home treats for bribery on the walk back.
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.
