Café · Watford
A café and bakery in Watford, Hertfordshire, that's set up for families rather than merely tolerating them — a kids' menu, high chairs and step-free access from the door mean you can arrive with a buggy and a hungry toddler and not have to work anything out in advance. Vegan and gluten-free options mean nobody in the group gets stuck with a plain slice of toast. It's a quiet room rather than a bustling one, which suits a calm breakfast but is worth knowing if your child is going through a loud phase, and there's outdoor seating when that's the better call. Prices sit at the low end, and booking is recommended.
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.
