Cafe 121 used to be Atomic think - I forgot about that one! (does it have a sandpit out back in a courtyard?)

I am not at all suprised that Bang Bang has closed - it was a disaster as far as I was concerned. The original owners were really nice (I emailed them to complain after my first visit but they had already sold it)....so it seems a shame that the "concept" hasnt worked.

On the shore,Dutch Delight   in Birkenhead (pancake place) has an entire separate playroom for kiddies with toys, books, colouring in stuff, dvds, and if you call and arrange first if there is a group of you they will arrange a babysitter. Food is really good too.

The Ark Cafe on Manukau Road used to be good but I think they're under new ownership so not sure if it's still child friendly.

Kings Plantbarn on Shore Road Remers is awesome, plenty of parking & has an outside & inside play area for kiddiewinks AND fits a dble buggy inside!

Would be interested to hear whether your recommended cafe's have nough room for a dble buggy.

SimSam: Okra's SO nice isn't it, unfortuntaely we can't fit inside with the buggy but on nice days I go their for coffee and sit out on the street side tables.

Fusion in Ponsonby is good. Haven't been there for a while but it has a sandpit.

We have been to Occam in Grey Lynn - no toys or anything, but highchairs and friendly towards little ones. Also Okra on Sandringham Rd has books and colouring stuff for littlies, but its quite small so can feel a bit crowded. ]]> Thu, 22 Oct 2009 08:11:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29497&PID=813889&title=auckland-child-friendly-cafes#813889 <![CDATA[Auckland Child Friendly Cafes : not strictly a cafe but butterfly...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29497&PID=813868&title=auckland-child-friendly-cafes#813868 Author: Bizzy

Frolic on Manukau Rd is good, altho haven't been for a while. And we love McCafe at McDs Greenlane too - they have a great playground and you can get a decent coffee.

And I know it's not strictly Auckland, but we went to Ascension Vineyard in Matakana for lunch last Fri and they have an awesome set up for kids - blocks, books, toys... it kept them entertained for the entire duration of our rather long, lazy lunch.]]> Wed, 21 Oct 2009 21:08:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29497&PID=813671&title=auckland-child-friendly-cafes#813671 <![CDATA[Auckland Child Friendly Cafes : Will be interested to hear your...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29497&PID=813638&title=auckland-child-friendly-cafes#813638 Author: MummyFreckle

Hi - we like to go to cafes in central auckland and i am a bit over the kid friendly ones that we use and was just hoping if anyone can tell me of some new ones.

We like The Library in Onehunga, Luscious in Onehunga, Columbus in Dom Rd, Sierra in Balmoral and Mt Eden and some others that i cant think of.

cheers
