Cafés · Birmingham
Tucked upstairs in a corner of Cannon Street, this ethical café is easy to walk past — the outside gives nothing away, and the stairs mean it's tricky with a pram, so factor that in. Once you're up, it's cosy, quiet and warm, with simple, atmospheric decor and a calm feel that suits a slower lunch or a coffee while the baby naps. The staff are consistently chatty and welcoming, high chairs and a kids' menu are there, and there are vegan and non-dairy options alongside fair trade, organic coffee and hot chocolate. Meal deals are genuinely good value — two lattes and a tea came to £6 — and the food is fresh and creative. Everything's ethically sourced, with a community giveaway shelf stocked with baby formula and toiletries. A few minutes from New Street.
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.
