Café · Plymouth
A short walk from Plymouth station, this is a bright, high-ceilinged café where the tables aren't crammed together — which matters when you arrive with a pram and a toddler who won't sit still. There's a kids' menu alongside jacket potatoes, toasties, sandwiches and famously good homemade cakes; the banana cake and carrot cake get the most love, and portions are generous. Sofas downstairs and a second seating area upstairs mean you can spread out, and there are board games to buy you ten quiet minutes. High chairs, buggy access, outdoor seating and vegan options are all covered, and toilets are on site. The staff are warm and genuinely patient — one parent calls it their "new favourite café in Plymouth". It fills up with students and workers in term time, so it's worth timing your visit around the lunch rush.
