Coffee Shops · Middlesbrough
Set on a working farm just outside Middlesbrough, this is the kind of stop where the café is only half the appeal — there are pygmy goats and turkeys to look at, a stream and a children's play area further along the site, and views out to Roseberry Topping. The café itself is roomy and easy with a pram, and staff are friendly and quick to help. Breakfasts are the thing to come for: hearty sausages, properly cooked bacon, and a big plate at around £14 (a smaller one is £11). Scones are enormous and freshly baked, the BLTs and toasted sandwiches get plenty of praise, and a pot of tea for two is £6. One snag — it can queue out of the door at busy times, so go early. Free parking, high chairs, a kids' menu, and dogs welcome too.

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.
