Cafés · York
Tucked into York's music scene, this licensed café doubles as a shrine to vinyl — hundreds of signed photos, guitars and album covers cover the walls, which turns out to be brilliant for keeping children occupied while you wait. Little ones tend to get absorbed pointing at the artwork, and the smoothies go down well; milk arrives in a shot glass, which delights small people more than it should. The toasties and grilled cheese are what people come back for, and there's an all-day breakfast sandwich worth ordering. Staff are friendly and happy to chat about the music. Worth knowing: tables sit close together, so a buggy needs a quiet moment rather than a busy one, and evenings often bring live gigs — lovely, but not a toddler slot. High chairs, a kids' menu and vegan and gluten-free options all sorted.
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.
