Urban Bites is a relaxed brunch spot on Eastern Road in Walthamstow, turning out the kind of eggs-and-fresh-meat breakfasts that keep regulars coming back — the Eggs Royal in particular gets a lot of love. It can get a little stretched on busy Sundays, so worth bearing in mind if you have hungry little ones in tow, but the staff are genuinely warm and the food is worth the wait. Highchairs and a kids' menu are on hand, the café is easy to get into with a buggy, and there's outdoor space too — plus vegan options if you need them.
The secret to a calmer meal out? Something to do that isn't a phone. Each pack is full of screen-free bits and bobs to keep little hands busy at the table and buy you a proper sit-down. Three printable packs, one for each age (toddler, preschool, primary) — free, straight to your inbox.
