Café · Islington
Day Trip is a specialty coffee spot tucked into a quiet Islington courtyard, where the focus is firmly on seriously good coffee — think rotating single-origin filter selections and beautifully made flat whites. The sunny courtyard seating makes it a pleasant stop with little ones in tow, and the layout is easy enough to navigate with a buggy; highchairs are available inside the cosy brew-bar if you need one. There's no dedicated children's menu, so it works best as a coffee-and-cake pitstop rather than a full family meal out.
The secret to a calmer meal out? Something to do that isn't a phone. Each pack is full of screen-free bits and bobs to keep little hands busy at the table and buy you a proper sit-down. Three printable packs, one for each age (toddler, preschool, primary) — free, straight to your inbox.
Friendly family-run café with fresh food, fair prices and a relaxed vibe — great for little ones.
Charming Islington pub restaurant — buggy-friendly and worth booking ahead at weekends.
A popular seafood restaurant in Islington offering a dedicated kids menu, highchairs, easy buggy access.
