About The Discovery Café

Tucked away near Drake Circus but a world away from the mall's fast food, this is the sort of spot parents wish they'd found sooner. There's indoor soft play, so grown-ups can have a coffee and a snack while the older ones tear about — babies get a look-in too. The room is well laid out with plenty of space to move a pushchair around, kept spotlessly clean, and there's outdoor seating for fresh air on a sunny day. Food is cooked from scratch and genuinely cheap: ham, egg and chips, sausage and mash, a properly good pot of tea, and a solid breakfast. High chairs and a kids' menu are on hand, toilets are clean, and the staff are well trained and friendly. It's a calm, unhurried place — one parent calls it "chilled and relaxed."
