What it’s like

A Saturday morning play café near Seaburn metro with a play area, free parking and a kitchen that cooks fresh food daily.

Saturday mornings only, from 9 to half 1, this is a spot for a coffee and a play rather than a big-frame soft play blowout. There's a play area on site, and the café side does fresh food made daily, including its own baby food range, which is a nice touch if you're weaning and tired of packing pouches. They're set up for allergies and intolerances too, so it's one less thing to double-check when you're ordering.

Parking's free all around the building, which is one less cost to factor in before you've even bought a drink. If you're coming without a car, Seaburn metro is a minute's walk, about as easy as station access gets.

They also host birthday parties, baby showers and family gatherings, and describe the space as spacious and clean with a welcoming feel.

Because it only opens Saturday mornings, it's not a drop-in-any-day sort of place. Worth building your weekend around that window if it's the free parking and metro access that appeal.
