Café · Kentish Town
Mems Cafe is the sort of warm, unpretentious neighbourhood spot where the staff make everyone — little ones included — feel genuinely welcome, and the food is comforting, quick and just the thing after a busy morning out. It's buggy-friendly and has a kids' menu, with highchairs likely available if you need one, though it's worth ringing ahead to confirm. There's some outdoor space too, which is handy when the weather plays along — just bear in mind 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.
