Coffee Shops · Birmingham
Set inside a church building that's been given a proper second life during the week, this is the kind of café where you can let go of the pushchair handle and breathe. The soft play corner is the real draw — it's pitched at toddlers, so a two-year-old will be perfectly happy for an hour, though children of five and up will likely outgrow it fast. Prices are notably low for what you get, with hot chocolate people rave about, good soup and jacket potatoes, and coffee worth sitting over. High chairs and a kids' menu are there, buggy access is easy, and the welcome is genuinely warm — one parent describes it as "fantastic value for money". Only grumble worth knowing: the cakes on the counter sit uncovered.
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.
