Well Street Kitchen is a neighbourhood brunch spot with a warm, relaxed feel — think fresh sourdough, flavourful coffee, and beautifully presented Middle Eastern and Turkish-inspired plates that regulars keep coming back for. The staff are genuinely welcoming and happy to talk you through the menu, which includes a kids' menu and vegan options, and the café is easy to navigate with a buggy. There's outdoor space to spill into on a sunny morning, and highchairs are on hand for little ones — no baby changing on site, so worth bearing that in mind.
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.
Roomy brunch café with a kids' menu, vegan options, buggy-friendly access and outdoor seating.
Railway arch microbrewery with legendary smoked roasts, a fairy-lit beer garden and good family facilities.
A warm, family-run greasy spoon doing the classics brilliantly — great for a relaxed family breakfast in Hackney.
