But the real star? Their cosy, welcoming vibe. Parents can relax and sip on truly quality coffee while the kids enjoy a meal in a setting that feels like home. It's not just a café; it’s a place where you make memories.
Jack’s High Street Café – A Garden Paradise
You’re sipping your second latte (because it’s that good), the kids are happily nibbling on treats, and you’re all surrounded by the peaceful greenery of Jack’s garden setting. Sound dreamy? That’s Jack’s High Street Café for you. With plenty of room to accommodate larger families and their gentle hum of activity, this spot is a treasure trove for a mid-week coffee or a sunny weekend brunch.
Café Ruffino – Italian Flavours, Family Love
For families with a soft spot for pizza and pasta, Café Ruffino is your go-to. This café blends casual dining with mouth-watering Italian cuisine. Parents can savour traditional recipes while the little ones enjoy a slice (or two!) of life’s simple pleasures—pizza, of course. It’s warm, it’s friendly, and it’s absolutely worth a visit.
Bean Machine – Small Café, Big Heart
If you’re after a café that feels like sitting in grandma’s kitchen, Bean Machine is it. This little gem is known for its homemade cakes and light, kid-approved bites. While you sip a perfectly made coffee, you’ll love the simplicity and warmth that envelop this place—and your little ones might already be eyeing their second helping of cake. No shame in that!
The Vault – A Treat for All Ages
The Vault is more than just a café—it’s a destination. With cooked breakfasts, wood-fired pizzas, and seriously good coffee, it’s a winner whether you’re an early bird breakfast enthusiast or popping in for lunch. It's fully licensed as well, so there’s something for everyone, parents! A tip: try the pizzas. Your kids (and your taste buds) will thank you.
Strath Corner Bakery – Classic Comforts with a Smile
When a day calls for a flaky, freshly made pasty or a warm sausage roll, head straight to Strath Corner Bakery. Not only do they dish up the baked classics we all know and love, but they also have fantastic sandy options for those quick lunchtime bites. Bring the kids and share a moment that says, “This is what life tastes like.”
