Cafés · Newcastle upon Tyne
Tucked away and not the easiest place to find, this little Newcastle coffee house rewards the effort — and once you're in, there's free parking and a quiet back room with sofas and a box of toys, which is the sort of thing that turns breakfast with a toddler from an ordeal into an actual sit-down. It's cosy rather than cavernous inside, with outdoor tables for warm days and buggy access throughout. Breakfast is the draw: Eggs Benedict and eggs royale come up again and again, the Full English gets rapturous write-ups, and lunch specials arrive in generous portions. Cakes are worth saving room for — lemon and courgette, banana with Nutella cream. High chairs, a kids' menu and oat milk are all sorted, and prices are reasonable. Two snags: it's popular, so book, and the kitchen shuts fairly early in the afternoon.

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.
