Cafés · Epsom
A little independent spot on Epsom high street that's been quietly feeding people for years, and the family who run it clearly know most faces coming through the door. It's cosy rather than cavernous, so it suits a party of two to four better than a big group, but there's a wall table with room to park a pram beside it, and high chairs if you need one. Food comes out fast and you pay at the till on your way out, which helps when someone's had enough. The savoury crepes get named again and again — spinach and feta, chicken Mexican — along with the Mediterranean breakfast with salmon and properly cooked eggs. Fresh juices, good flat whites, vegan and gluten-free options, a few outdoor seats, and prices that stay reasonable. One regular calls it "a hidden gem".
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.
