Have you heard of Kindercafés yet? They’re cafés that cater specifically to families.
That means they will usually have a play area, baby and child-friendly bathrooms, some will also sell baby and kids clothes or toys. Overall, these are welcoming and fun cafés that have adapted their space (and attitude 😅) to welcome parents and kids.
