out about: child friendly cafes

Hi friends!

I am so obsessed with coffee. I thought I could write about 80 Cafes in a short amount of time but it turns out there aren't that many that kids can go to so I have only done 56! Here is a list of where we chose to go with our two in Auckland.

Walton Street, Te Awamutu

Our local is Ruby Red in Mangere Bridge, it has some toys and a couple of kids chairs down the back. This place is packed with toddlers on a Friday morning after music at the library!

On a fine day Luscious in Te Atatu is fantastic. Lots of tables outsided, trees and a big shade covered sandpit. They do a good coffee too.

Kohu Creamery in New Lynn was awesome, you could buy ice cream and there was a caravan with kids DVDs!  They have a new cafe collaboration called The Tannery that we need to go and check out to see what's new.

Mostly we go to Bean There in Onehunga. The space is lacking some style, it still looks a bit like the awkward bar that has changed hands here numerous times, but they have a kids play pit. This too is rudimentary but it gets you through. The coffee is excellent and the food is good standard cafe fare.

In Onehunga Library Cafe is often touted as the go to kid friendly spot. They have a tramp and slide outside and a big kids area inside. The service and coffee and food are hit and miss unfortunately. We get fries and a cold drink now...

Also in Onehunga there is Luscious Cafe. They have a kids play room upstairs. It is noisy but convenient. Luscious do great food but just an OK brew.

Localist recommends entirely different spots, a few over on the North Shore that maybe one day we will hikoi to.

Anyone else have a favourite place to enjoy coffee with kids? It's obvious by now, you must tell me!
