Had to take my sister to the airport this morning so we decided to make it a bit more interesting and have a coffee somewhere beforehand. With the 2 little boys in tow, it had to be somewhere kid-friendly, but not Maccas. We headed to Jellystone in East Brunswick. It was lovely. Very cool cafe and then a walk through to the covered courtyard where there was a lovely sandpit with Tonka trucks, shovels and other toys. Joel loved it. The food was delicious (I had the Lemon and Pistachio gluten free cake - YUM!) and really reasonably priced. So nice to go somewhere and be able to enjoy the food and the company without worrying about whether Joel is going to muck around. He was awesome. Playing nicely and then came back and sat at the table nicely for his milkshake and gingerbread man. And Beth and I got to chat and enjoy ourselves. Not a Happy Meal in sight either!! Win all around really.
Jellystone is in Albion St, East Brunswick. If you are interested in other places that are good for a meal or coffee with kids, check out
Little Eats. (and if you are in Adelaide - CLARE - there is a similar site
Little Lattes) Lots of reviews on Little Eats of all different cafes all over Melbourne and they things they have on offer for kids. Not a lot in the outer Eastern suburbs :(
Might have to open one up!!
Think as the weather gets better I might go and visit some others. Maybe make it a fortnightly thing.
Anyone else have any kid friendly cafes they know of?
Till next time
