Café · Kendal
A café and bakery in Kendal that's set up for eating with children rather than just tolerating them — there's a kids' menu, high chairs, and gluten-free options if someone in your family needs them. Step-free access means you can get a buggy in without folding it at the door or asking anyone to lift. It's a quiet sort of place, so it suits a slower breakfast or lunch more than a group of overexcited kids, though a quiet room also means a baby can nap in the buggy beside you. Prices are middling for a café.
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.
