About The Brooklyn Cafe.

Tucked-away corners and a genuinely cosy room make this an easy one with small children — the staff are used to prams and will help you get settled, and drinks orders tend to be taken almost as soon as you sit down, which matters when someone is already restless. There's a kids' breakfast on the menu alongside American-style brunch: pulled pork benedict on a bagel, loaded tater tots with their homemade lemon hot sauce, Italian grilled cheese, salmon and scrambled eggs. Portions are piled high and the prices are fair. High chairs, buggy access, vegan options, outdoor seating and free parking are all sorted. Worth knowing it's small and gets busy — Saturday mornings are buzzing — so go early if you want the quiet corner. The coffee is a dark roast, great in a latte.
