Cafés · Bristol
Tucked inside a working city farm, this is the kind of stop where children can go and look at the animals before or after eating — farm entry is free, which takes the pressure off a short visit. The room is bright and genuinely cosy, with plenty of natural light, and there's outdoor seating when you'd rather let a toddler be loud. Baking is the draw: apple cake, scrambled eggs on toast, a chai latte people rave about, and unusually good vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options for a small independent. Food is fresh and arrives quickly, high chairs and a kids' menu are sorted, and the staff are patient and kind. One snag — the on-site parking is limited and can be a scramble, though there's cheap parking a short walk away.

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.
