Vegan · Balham
Just Jenny's is a well-loved, no-frills café on Cavendish Road serving honest, affordable breakfasts and lunches — the kind of place where a proper egg and bacon roll on pillowy-soft bread keeps families coming back even after they've moved away. It's one of the last spots in Balham doing traditional café food without the artisan price tag, with a broad menu of all-day breakfasts, burgers and grilled dishes that gives everyone something to land on. Highchairs are available and the café is easy to get into with a buggy; there's no outdoor seating or baby-changing, but there is a kids' menu and vegan options for those who need them.
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.
