Café · Bristol
A calm, roomy spot to start the day with a pram in tow — there's plenty of space to spread out, high chairs, tables outside in good weather, and staff who stay unflappable even on a heaving bank holiday. Come for brunch rather than a quick sandwich lunch: the cooked breakfasts get real praise (perfect poached eggs, spiced beans, proper potatoes), the granola bowl comes with thick creamy yoghurt, and the halloumi and mushroom ciabatta is worth the trip. Croissants are about £2 and the coffee is genuinely good — regulars single out the flat white. Vegan options are solid and there's a kids' menu. Fair warning: it opens early on Sundays when most of Bristol doesn't, food can be slow at peak times, and gluten-free choices are thin on the ground despite what you may read online.
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.
Relaxed Mediterranean sharing plates in Bristol with an open kitchen, generous starters, kids' menu, high chairs and free parking.
