AUBURN Kids Cafe

Last updated April 2026

At AUBURN Kids Cafe inside Auburn Central Mall Food Court, breakfast and lunch feel like playtime for little ones. The open kitchen lets kids watch pancakes flip and pizzas spin, turning mealtime into their favourite show. Bright, wipe-clean tables and high chairs with safety straps mean parents can relax while the fun unfolds. With a dedicated kids' menu and colourful cutlery, even the pickiest eaters find something they love. It’s the kind of spot where toast comes with a smiley face butter spread and milkshakes arrive in plastic cups with bendy straws. For parents juggling hungry kids and a quick catch-up, it’s a welcome shortcut in the heart of Auburn, Sydney. **What to Bring** A hat for sunny days in the food court. A small toy for the walk from the car or bus stop. A reusable water bottle to top up at the café’s water station. A change purse for parking meters on Queen Street. **Best Age Range** Best for 1–8 year olds who love to be centre stage at mealtime. **Good to Know** Kids’ meals average $8–$12 each. No bookings—just grab a seat. The food court opens at 9am weekdays, 8am weekends. Weekday lunchtimes are calm; Saturday afternoons get crowded with families out shopping. **Nearby** Pop into Auburn Library on Parramatta Road for free kids’ storytime sessions. Stroll 5 minutes to the playground at Rookwood Park in Lidcombe for post-meal play. **Tips From Other Parents** Bring a spare change of clothes—tiny chefs sometimes give the pizza station a helping hand. Arrive before 10am on weekends to snag a table near the window. The café keeps crayons behind the counter for colouring in menus while you wait.
