Children's cafe · Edinburgh
A café built around under-twos, with a play area stocked with toys and books just far enough away that you can drink a coffee while it's still hot. The coffee is good and cheaply priced, the baked goods are worth a look, and the gluten-free cakes get particular praise for actually tasting good and coming in more than one variety. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and buggy access, and the room is roomy enough for little ones to move around safely. It's spotlessly kept. Worth knowing it's a popular birthday party venue — the team handle the planning, catering and even a sensory disco, and it's BYOB — so check before you turn up on spec at a weekend. One parent describes the space as "gorgeous for babies and caregivers".
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.
