Cafés · Machynlleth
Tucked inside the Corris Craft Centre with free parking right there, this is an easy stop with a pram — bright, airy and roomy enough that nobody's squeezing past your buggy, with mountain views from the windows and background music kept low. Service is quick, which matters when a toddler has decided lunch is happening now; one family arrived early for the lunch menu and the team whipped their order up so they'd make a midday tour. The homemade bakes and cakes get the most praise, along with cheesy chips made with dragon cheddar, lamb cawl and the rarebit. There are high chairs, a kids' menu, vegan options and outdoor seating. Worth knowing: the menu is fairly short, so fussy eaters may need a plan B, and it winds down mid-afternoon.

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.
