The Paper Boat Cafe
Bright, plant-filled Oxford café by the river with outdoor tables and vegan options — a well-loved spot for coffee, breakfast and pastries.

Modern European · Oxford
Getting in is straightforward here — step-free access means you're not folding the buggy at the door or asking a stranger to help lift it up a step. There are high chairs and a kids' menu, so a toddler is catered for without you packing snacks as backup, and vegan and gluten-free options cover most of the usual dietary juggling. It's a lively room rather than a hushed one, which is good news if your two-year-old is having a loud day, and there's outdoor seating when everyone needs more air. Worth booking ahead.

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.
