Café · Maidenhead
Tucked out on the Furze Platt side of Maidenhead, this is a proper family-run Italian café where the owners have been behind the counter for years and it shows — people describe it as eating in an Italian nan's kitchen. Breakfasts are the draw: well-cooked, hot and generous, with tasty sausages, perfect poached eggs and plenty of toast, though a full plate with extras nudges past £15, which not everyone thinks is worth it. The chicken, tomato, cheese and pesto panini and the vegetarian breakfast both get singled out, and there are vegan options and a kids' menu. High chairs, outdoor tables and free parking make the logistics easy. Staff are friendly with children. Go early — it fills fast and gets genuinely noisy, with loud music and a ringing phone.
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.
