Café · Nottingham
Sitting just off Old Market Square, this is a people-watching spot as much as a coffee stop — the window seats and outdoor tables earn their keep on a decent day, and there's room to park a buggy while you queue. The frappuccino range is wider than most branches and comes up fast, which matters when you've got a fractious toddler; oat milk and vegan options are straightforward to order, and there's a kids' menu and high chairs. Staff come in for genuine praise — patient, warm, going out of their way for people. The honest snag is the state of the place: tables often stay piled with used cups, floors and toilets can be grubby at busy times, and drinks arrive in takeaway cups even sitting in. One parent would "rather sit in the cold on a bench". Fine for a quick warm-up, less so for lingering.
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.
Crisp, generously filled dosas and warm service with children, plus a kids' menu, high chairs and a weekend buffet.
