Café · Braintree
Sitting in Braintree, this Essex café and bakery is an easy stop if you're out with the children and everyone needs feeding at the same time. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so a toddler is catered for without you having to think ahead, and step-free access means the buggy comes in with you rather than being folded at the door. Vegan and gluten-free options cover most of the fussy or restricted eaters in a family. It tends to be on the quiet side, and there's outdoor seating if your two would rather be outside.
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.
