Café · Guildford
Tucked into the village, this is a small, genuinely warm spot with a children's play area, a kids' menu and high chairs, plus a suntrap of tables in the little back yard and roadside seating out front — handy if you've arrived with a pram, and parking is free. The coffee gets serious praise (one visitor from abroad called it the finest he'd had in weeks), and the cakes come up again and again, carrot cake especially; flat whites with oat milk, matcha lattes and a bacon and avocado toastie all land well, and there are vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free options if someone in your group needs them. It's family-run and the welcome is usually lovely. Worth knowing: it's small, and at busy moments service can be slow or a touch scattered, so it's not the place for a five-minute dash with a hungry toddler.
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.
