Café · Falmouth
Falmouth families who need a proper breakfast before the beach tend to end up here, and it earns the repeat visits. It's a cosy spot by the water — roomy enough outside for a pram, though the inside gets tight when it's busy — with high chairs, a kids' menu, buggy access and free parking nearby. The cream teas are what people come back for: scones served warm with a crusty top, plenty of fruit, cream and jam, plus toasted teacakes and marmalade. Gluten-free options are unusually good, the egg sandwiches are enormous, and there's ice cream for bribery purposes. The person running it is warm with everyone, dogs included, and the team stays calm when an order goes wrong. Worth knowing: it isn't cheap for a café stop, so expect a bill that adds up with a family.

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.
