Café · Malvern
A steady favourite for Malvern families, this is the kind of café where the staff will find you a table even when every seat is taken, then split a panini onto two plates without being asked. Food arrives fast — genuinely useful when a toddler has hit the wall — and it's fresh, well priced and generous: the sharing board is around £21 and easily does two adults, and the kids' pancakes are a reliable win. The coffee is a cut above, the flat whites in particular, and the counter is stacked with cakes and pastries. It's cosy rather than cavernous, so it's worth going early at weekends with a pram. Cakes are bought in and can be a bit dry, and the tagine has disappointed — stick to breakfasts, paninis and the crispy fries.
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.
