Café · Margate
A proper little play corner sits at the back — mostly a hit with toddlers and under-fives, who potter about happily with the toys and craft bits while you actually finish a hot drink. That's the draw here: buggy access, high chairs, a well-priced kids' menu, and staff who greet children warmly rather than tolerating them. The cheese toastie gets named again and again, as do the pastries, cakes and the homemade iced vanilla latte. Loaded hash browns are the big brunch order, though at £10.50 and around £4.50 for a coffee it isn't cheap for what arrives, and when several tables order the same thing food can come out slowly and not quite hot enough. Drinks are quick, vegan options are there, and there's outdoor seating. They run kids' events through the year too — one parent calls it their favourite café in Thanet with children.
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.
