A post-parkrun breakfast spot that's earned its queue — expect a wait at peak brunch time, and it's worth asking how long before you commit with hungry children. Inside it's plants, wooden seating and gentle music, cosy rather than clinical, with table service that saves you queueing at a counter with a buggy. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, outdoor seating for warmer days and free parking, which spares the usual Belfast circling. The menu leans hard on brunch and eggs — poached eggs on sourdough with hash browns, goats cheese and beetroot toast — with generous, well-presented portions, though it's thin on savoury non-egg options and they're strict about swaps. Coffee is a genuine highlight; one parent called a takeaway latte the nicest in ages. It's a touch pricey, and service can be hit and miss when it's packed.

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.
