Sunshine Garden Cafe
Fresh food, warm staff, kids' menu & outdoor space — a step above the usual local café.
Café · Barnet
Vibe Cafe on Greenhill Parade in New Barnet is a relaxed, welcoming spot where the staff are genuinely warm with children and the atmosphere feels easy-going rather than precious about families. The menu is well priced and varied, with a kids' menu available alongside vegan and gluten-free options, and highchairs on hand for little ones — buggies can be wheeled straight in without any fuss, and there's outdoor space to spill out into when the weather plays ball. There's no soft play or baby-changing room here, but the place is spotlessly clean and the quick, friendly service makes it the kind of neighbourhood café families keep coming back to.

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.
