Cafés · Leicester
A proper community café in the middle of Syston, and the sort of place families end up going back to weekly. The menu is broad enough to keep everyone happy — breakfast served all day, sandwiches and jacket potatoes for lighter appetites, bigger plates for anyone properly hungry, plus a kids' menu, high chairs and step-free access for prams. Service is quick even when it's packed, which matters when someone's on the edge. The cakes are the real draw: the Black Forest gateau gets rhapsodised over, and the team will make whole cakes to order. Free parking and a few outdoor tables help. Two honest snags — it gets very busy at peak times, so seats can be scarce, and the only toilet is up a flight of stairs with no lift, which rules out changing a baby downstairs.
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.
