Coffee Shops · Bath
Tucked into Royal Victoria Park right by the kids' playground, this is the kind of stop that works when you need coffee and the children need to run. Only a few tables indoors, so it can feel tight at weekends, but there are plenty of outdoor benches and a seated shelter — one parent describes it as "perfect for watching your kids while you have your coffee". Buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu are all there, and the coffee genuinely gets raved about, alongside excellent cakes, toasted paninis and a vegan flatbread. Good vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free options, and the team will check allergens properly if you ask. Prices are reasonable for the location. Service can be hit-and-miss on a bad day, and there are no free toilets in the park.

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.
