The Fat Gherkin
Roomy, fast-moving brunch café with cracking coffee, a kids' menu and free parking — noisy at busy times, and worth booking round the weekend rush.

Cafés · Craigavon
Weekend mornings are the draw here — no booking needed, which takes the stress out of a Saturday with a toddler in tow. Sessions run 90 minutes and numbers seem to be capped, so it stays calm rather than chaotic, and the play space is open enough that little ones can properly get going while you actually drink a coffee sitting down. Free parking, high chairs, a kids' menu and buggy access all sorted. The team are warm and genuinely helpful, especially around birthday parties — plenty of time given for cake and decorations, no rushing. Two honest notes: it's mornings only, which won't suit everyone, and the gluten-free options on the menu aren't always available, so bring something if you've a dietary need. One parent called it a safe spot to relax while her toddler played happily.

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.
