Rose's Cafe & Bistro on Kilburn High Road is a warm, unfussy spot that does a solid breakfast and decent coffee in a relaxed neighbourhood setting — the kind of place where the owner is genuinely welcoming and happy to accommodate requests beyond the printed menu. High chairs are generally available for little ones, the cafe is easy to get into with a buggy, and there's a kids' menu to keep younger diners happy, plus vegan options for parents who need them. There's no outdoor seating or baby changing, so worth bearing in mind if you're out with a very young baby, but as a casual, friendly stop for a family breakfast it does the job nicely.
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.
BYO dining room for dips, kebabs and rice dishes, an offshoot of the original Manhattan branch.
