Café · Newcastle upon Tyne
A high-street coffee stop that actually works with children in tow — there's a kids' menu, high chairs, and step-free access so you can get a buggy in without a struggle. Vegan and gluten-free options mean nobody in the family gets stuck with just a plain slice of toast. It's a lively space rather than a hushed one, which is a relief when your toddler is having a loud day. Easy for a quick pause and a warm drink when you need one.
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.
