Café · Bristol
Tucked between Broadmead and Castle Park, this is a proper independent coffee shop rather than another chain, and the room is chic and spacious enough that a pram isn't a problem. High chairs, a kids' menu and outdoor seating are all sorted, and there are vegan options so nobody's left picking at a plate. The cakes are where it shines — the cheesecake gets rave after rave, the carrot cake is moist and not sickly sweet, the banana bread and the brownie both have devoted fans. Croissants with brie, four-cheese toasties and enchiladas cover a proper breakfast or lunch. Staff are warm and quick, which matters when someone's flagging. Prices are fair for speciality coffee, there's a loyalty card, and one visitor calls it "cosy" — though the quiet corner does get taken by laptop users.
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.
