Cafés · Nottingham
Tucked away in Basford, this is the kind of small local café where the food comes out of the kitchen cooked to order and the same two women behind the counter greet you like they've been expecting you — patient, chatty, quick to bring things over, which matters when a toddler has hit the wall. It's a genuinely good breakfast spot: the large English is the thing to order (around £9.50 and widely thought a steal), the peppered sausages get mentioned by nearly everyone, and chips at breakfast are apparently a revelation. High chairs, a kids' menu, vegan options, and step-free buggy access make the practical side easy, and there are outdoor tables when you'd rather not squeeze a pram inside. It fills up at peak times and it is small, so mornings can feel busy and close — one regular simply calls it "this local gem".
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.
