morning tea at the ark cafe at 347 manukau road, epsom at 10am on friday 18 may.
i'll be there ... join me for a cuppa and a relax cause there is heaps to entertain the kids.
(hmmm and maybe there needs to be a new board for meet ups, coffee dates, dinners, etc...???)

Hubby and i went to the ark cafe on manukau rd, epsom, auckland yesterday and i wanted to let you know how great it was.
they have a mini (yes a real car) in the cafe for the kids to play in and a giant game - like connect 4 - kids books and paper and colouring pencils. the water cooler has cups for toddlers, babies with lids on and glasses for adults. and the kids menu didnt have any chips at all - there were sammies, organic egg, pikelets, fruit salad and yoghurt, spaghetti and cheese pizzas...and they do baby food too - GE free, preservative free, sugar, salt, wheat, egg, dairy just about everything free so just like what you would do at home.
the prices were reasonable and the staff friendly but best of all hubby got to eat without getting all worried about the kids. he usually stresses they will make a scene, but here it doesnt matter cause lots of them had kids there and they were too happy to make a scene.
only down side was that the kids had so much fun they didnt eat much lunch. |

Do you think you'll be there closer to 11? We would love to come but I need to let my beautiful little miss-high-maintenance have a good nap before we venture out.
I wasn't 100% pleased with the food last time we went but in saying that it was a public holiday so the prices were insane. The coffee and atmosphere are great though!

It went ok, we had fun but they didn't reserve our table so I had to throw a tanty, and the food was pretty average. The kids had fun tho.
