Café · Glasgow
Head down the stairs off the street and there's more room than you'd expect — plenty of seating, so a pram isn't a problem, and it's the ordinary buzz of a busy café rather than anywhere too loud for a toddler. Breakfast runs all day at weekends, which is a small mercy on a slow morning. Food arrives quickly and the staff are warm and unhurried, the sort who remember faces after a couple of visits. The full Scottish is the thing people rave about — haggis and black pudding side by side — though the porridge gets just as much praise, and the brioche French toast with Nutella and honeycomb will win over any child. Prices are gentle, there's a kids' menu, high chairs and vegan options, and the toilets are clean. Everything's halal. The stairs can be slippery in the rain.
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.
