Café · Nottingham
A small city-centre brunch spot with a big reputation, and the queue proves it — twenty to thirty minutes at busy times, so it's worth timing around a nap or bringing something to keep little ones going. Once you're in, the coffee is the draw, alongside Turkish eggs, potato hash and a much-praised ube French toast; portions are reasonably priced, though a few feel they could be more generous. Staff are friendly and genuinely careful with allergies, including less common ones, which is reassuring if you're ordering for a fussy or reactive child. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access and vegan options. Two honest caveats: it's a tight space that fills quickly and gets noisy, and the toilets are tired and due a refurbishment.
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.
