Restaurant · Cambridge
Tucked down a quiet side street, this tiny café keeps the music off, which alone makes it easier on small ears — though the seating is all tall bar stools and high tables, so it suits a toddler in a high chair or a baby in a sling far better than a wandering three-year-old, and there's no real room to park a buggy inside. Come knowing that, and it's a lovely half hour: the owners greet regulars by name and take genuine care over what they bring out. Soup and a toastie, quiches, and paninis get the most affection — one with pastrami, pesto and mozzarella on a properly crunchy crust comes up again and again. There's a kids' menu, vegan choices, and takeaway if the mood turns. Prices are gentle and food arrives quickly.
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.
