Café · East Dulwich
Johnnies Cafe is a relaxed neighbourhood café on Lordship Lane in East Dulwich, the kind of place that feels genuinely welcoming rather than just tolerating little ones — highchairs are available, there's a kids' menu, and you can roll a buggy straight in without any awkward manoeuvring. When the weather plays nicely, there's outdoor seating too, which always helps with the wriggly-child situation. Vegan grown-ups are well catered for, and the family-friendly vibe makes it a solid choice for a laid-back brunch or lunch out.
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.
