Coffee Shops · Durham
There's a lot going on in Belmont's little coffee house, and most of it works in a parent's favour: buggy access, high chairs, a kids' menu and free parking outside, so the arrival isn't a battle. The real draw is how seriously the team takes allergies and intolerances — coeliac knowledge is genuinely strong, gluten-free options are labelled with stickers, and one family found the staff helpful with carb-counting for a type 1 diabetic child. Fussy eaters tend to find something. Cakes are the reason people come back: carrot cake, fudge brownies, florentines one regular rates above Bettys. Outdoor seating and dog-friendly too. It's a chatty community spot rather than a quiet one, and the menu changes often, but nobody hurries you out. Takeaway is quick and ready when promised.

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.
