Pip Tree Café

About Pip Tree Café

Tucked near the Borrowash side of Derby, this is a bakery-café that families keep coming back to — and it fills up fast, so a quiet weekday morning is your friend if you're wrangling a pram. There's proper room to spread out: tables indoors, a greenhouse space, and covered outdoor seats with umbrellas, all surrounded by greenery and flowers. High chairs and a kids' menu are sorted, buggy access is easy, and parking is free (though the car park gets tight at peak — the road outside usually has space). The cakes are the headline, including gluten-free and vegan, and the staff are good about allergies. Breakfast cobs, 200 Degrees coffee and a surprise Vietnamese menu round it out. It's a little pricey and gets noisy when busy, but one parent calls the staff "SO lovely".
