Cafés · Smethwick
Brunch here is the kind that makes you plan the next visit before you've finished your plate — sweetcorn fritters that stop conversation, generous Salmon Avo with hash browns, Romesco potatoes, and a pistachio French toast people crane over from other tables. Plenty for everyone: a kids' menu, real vegetarian choice, and much of the menu can go vegan by swapping the eggs or halloumi. It's all halal, the owners genuinely remember faces, and there's outdoor seating plus free parking. Two honest snags: it's small and can feel crowded, so a pram is easier if you nab an outside table, and prices sit slightly above the usual café mark — though one parent still found it "definitely worth it". High chairs are there. Come early at weekends, or expect to wait.
