Cafés · Penrith
Tucked into Penrith and spread over two floors, this is the sort of place you can slip into when every other tea room in town is booked out. It's calm and there are plenty of seats, though the lunchtime rush between noon and one fills it up — the staff stay attentive and turn tables well, and you order from your seat rather than queuing with a toddler on your hip. Buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu are all sorted, plus outdoor tables for warmer days. The bacon butties, Mexican corn and red pepper soup with a warm roll, curly fries and the loaded cake counter all get raved about. Dogs come inside and get biscuits on a plate. Vegan isn't marked on the menu but the kitchen adapts happily. Breakfast stops at noon, and a full English with coffees pushes it beyond a cheap stop.
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.
