6 Cafes for the Young

June 24, 2014

For the cafehopping mummy, having to bring the kids along for afternoon tea or brunch sessions with her fellow SAHMs might just be too much effort for her. Cosy cafes turn into obstacle courses when you have a pram on hand, and children who are bored start getting fussy.

Thankfully, there are more than a few cafes in Singapore that cater to this breed of customers. Even if mummy comes with her brood in tow, there are plenty of options to keep the children occupied, while she takes a breather in the company of other adults. For all other cafehoppers, these cafes might just bring out the inner child in you.

Baby chairs? Checked.

Kid-friendly food? Checked.

Entertainment for the kids? Most Definitely. CHECKED.

Despite the sophisticated aura that the café exudes, it is a great family-friendly space. Feel as if you’re dining in a treehouse as you lounge in the alfresco area of Spruce. Kids can run about the shady outdoor playground as mummy enjoys a cup of coffee with her friends under the leafy veranda.
