Café · Canterbury
This is a Latin American café and bakery where the kids' menu means your children have something recognisable to fall back on, and gluten-free options are there if someone in the family needs them. High chairs are available, so a baby or toddler is genuinely catered for rather than perched awkwardly. Step-free access means you can push a buggy straight in without folding it at the door. The noise level sits at moderate, which usually means a bit of chatter covers the sound of a child who won't sit still.

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.
