The menu balances fresh, seasonal dishes with simple, kid-approved favourites, making it a go-to for both quick lunches and relaxed weekend brunches. Fitzroy’s creative vibe shines here, blending relaxed café culture with the kind of warmth that makes parents feel at ease. It’s the kind of spot where everyone leaves happy, full, and already planning the next visit. What to Bring Comfortable clothes for messy mealtime. A change of clothes if you’re worried about spills. A lightweight jacket for Fitzroy’s unpredictable weather. Bring a book or toy for the wait — it’s a popular spot, so patience helps. Best Age Range Perfect for toddlers and up. Best for 2–10 year olds. Good to Know No bookings accepted. First-come, first-served — expect a wait on weekends. BYO for wine, but no corkage fee. Street parking is tricky, so allow extra time to find a spot. Nearby The Fitzroy Children’s Centre playground in Fitzroy North, Melbourne. The Collingwood Children’s Farm in Abbotsford, Melbourne. Tips From Other Parents Go early on weekends — it gets packed by 10am. Bring a spare change of clothes, kids always end up sticky. The pancakes are a must-try, even if your little one usually turns their nose up at breakfast food.
