Bakery · West Ealing
Papillon Café and Patisserie is a welcoming neighbourhood spot on Northfield Avenue, run by a genuinely friendly team and turning out a solid spread of wraps, sandwiches, salads, and patisserie treats that give everyone at the table something to get excited about. It's a practical choice for families — highchairs and a children's menu are on hand, the café is easy to navigate with a buggy, and there's outdoor space to make use of when the weather plays along; there's no baby changing on site, so worth bearing in mind if you have a very little one in tow. Vegan options are available too, making it a handy all-rounder for a relaxed family lunch in West Ealing.
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.
