Cafés · Cambridge
Set on the Biomedical Campus with floor-to-ceiling windows and generous gaps between tables, this is an easy one with a pram — roomy, light and calm rather than cramped, with high chairs, a kids' menu and free parking on site. Outdoor seating helps on warm days. The bread gets particular praise, along with the big brunch, courgette and feta tartine, New York bagel and good coffee; vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free eaters are properly looked after. Two honest snags: it's on the pricey side for a café, and service can swing — usually friendly and quick, but at busy lunchtimes people have waited a while to be served, so it's not the spot for a tight window with a hungry toddler. Come with time to spare and it's a genuinely lovely break.
