Cafés · Brighton
Tucked near Trafalgar Street Car Park, this is a roomy Brighton café where a pram won't cause a traffic jam and the all-day breakfast means nobody's watching the clock. Food comes out fast even when it's busy, which matters when a toddler has hit the wall — one parent noted drinks and food arrived quickly despite a full room. The staff are warm and happy to customise plates, and there's a kids' menu, high chairs and outdoor seating. Children do well with the fruit bowls and the rainbow crunchy salad; grown-ups rave about the coffee, the chai latte, the meaty hash and the burger. Vegetarian choices are plentiful and the loos are consistently spotless. Two small snags: breakfast portions can feel modest for the price, and the playlist repeats itself.
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.
