Vegan · Walthamstow
Buhler and Co is a relaxed little brunch and coffee spot on Chingford Road where the food does the talking — think freshly made bagels, chilli scrambled eggs, and an apple walnut cake that regulars rave about, alongside genuinely good cappuccinos. The staff have a real knack for making everyone feel welcome, and the place has a warm, unhurried atmosphere that works well for a family brunch without feeling chaotic. It's buggy-friendly with highchairs available and an outdoor space, plus vegan options on the menu, though there's no baby changing on site.
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.
