Café · South Kensington
Hagen Espresso Bar is a cosy, welcoming little coffee shop on Old Brompton Road — the sort of place you might duck into after a visit to the Natural History Museum just around the corner. It's a relaxed spot with a comfortable ambience, highchairs available and buggy-friendly access, plus a bit of outdoor space if the weather's on your side. Bear in mind it's more of a café-style drop-in than a full dining experience, so it works best as a pit-stop for drinks and a breather rather than a sit-down family meal.
The secret to a calmer meal out? Something to do that isn't a phone. Each pack is full of screen-free bits and bobs to keep little hands busy at the table and buy you a proper sit-down. Three printable packs, one for each age (toddler, preschool, primary) — free, straight to your inbox.
Contemporary, white-walled chain Italian cafe-deli, with pastas, handmade focaccia & a kids' menu.
Welcoming South Ken coffee bar with buggy access and highchairs — great for a quick family pit-stop.
Spanish spot in South Kensington.
