Creperie · Newcastle upon Tyne
Tucked into Eldon Square with big windows to watch the world go by, this is an easy stop when small legs have had enough of shopping. Buggy access and high chairs are sorted, there's a kids' menu, and service tends to be quick — handy when someone's hungry and fading fast. The sweet crepes are the draw: Nutella, cinnamon and the Kinder Bueno waffle come up again and again, and there's a genuinely good vegan range alongside savoury options like the chicken shawarma wrap if you want something more substantial. The team gets warm praise for patience and advice on what to order. Two honest notes: it gets properly busy, so go early if you want a calm table, and at ££ a couple of waffles and drinks adds up. Napkins aren't always offered — grab some.
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.
