Café · Bedford
Good news if you're bringing a toddler — there are high chairs, a kids' menu and step-free buggy access, so getting through the door and settled is straightforward. It's a quiet spot rather than a bustling one, which suits little ones who get overwhelmed by noise, though you may find yourself hushing an excitable four-year-old. Vegan and gluten-free options mean nobody in the family gets left with just a bread roll, and outdoor seating gives you somewhere to go when a small person needs air.
