Restaurant · Stroud
A morning coffee stop that quietly turns into a proper meal — this Minchinhampton-side Italian café serves breakfast through to lunch six days a week (closed Sundays), so it fits around a school run or a walk on the commons. Portions are generous with an Italian slant: full English, bacon benedict, carbonara with crispy lardons, and paninis that regulars single out. The cake counter is the real problem — cherry cake, fruity flapjacks, and, by several accounts, the lightest sponges going. Hot chocolate is rich without being sickly. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, outdoor seating, buggy access and free parking, and the toilets are clean and nicely kept. The welcome is genuinely warm — one parent calls it "an absolute gem". Vegan options too, and dogs are welcome.

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.
