Garden Center · Totnes
A garden centre café just outside Totnes that turns out to be a proper wet-weather rescue — there's a small soft play corner for toddlers, plus colouring sheets and magazines to keep everyone occupied while food arrives. The baked potatoes get warm mentions and the cakes even more so, and there's a deck with umbrellas and pretty views for dry days. Seating comes in several forms: sofas, cubicles and ordinary tables, so you can pick somewhere out of the fray. Parking is free, and the single large toilet takes a buggy without a fight. Two honest notes: the play area gets noisy at busy times, and portions feel small for the price, though the quality holds up. There's no barrier between the play zone and the shop, so wandering toddlers need watching.
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.
