We come to little lattes often since my daughter was about 4 months old and she absolutely loves it. The atmosphere is so welcoming as soon as you walk in the door, the girls that work there always greet us with a smile. There are lots of activities for children to do upstairs and downstairs. I cannot recommend the place enough! Perfect for mums who wants to have a hot coffee for once

We go here regularly and the kids always ask to go. It’s great when you have toddlers but want to go for coffee with your friends. The staff are always so friendly and make a point to know you and your children. The Brie and chilli jam panini is unmatched. Would definitely reccomend to anyone with kids for an aesthetic child friendly environment.

Took our first trip here today and had a really lovely time. Everyone was very friendly and the service was good. Had an excellent cup of coffee and delicious cake. The soft play upstairs was very sweet and my little one particularly enjoyed the role play area downstairs although I do feel it would work better to have that upstairs as the space is bigger and the soft play downstairs, particularly as there are only two tables close to the play area downstairs but lots of tables all around the soft play upstairs. It meant that as soon as we arrived I had no choice but to go upstairs because I couldn’t sit close to where my toddler would be playing and I didn’t want to just leave her on her own. I would warn people visiting in winter that the whole building is extremely cold! I’m not a cold person at all but I kept my coat on the whole time and was still shivering so I don’t know what it’s like for little ones, even if they are dashing about. I think for winter they need to sort out something stronger than the few tiny electric heaters they have because it simply isn’t enough. It’s not their fault as it’s just a poorly insulated old building but I do think more could be done to make it a nicer experience for those visiting in the colder weather. All this being said I did really enjoy our visit and would certainly recommend it and return. I only make these comments because I think this place is a real gem and could be even better! Thank you for welcoming us today, we’ll be back when it’s warmer outside!

We are regular visitors to Little Lattes, my 2 year old is a big fan! There's a wide variety of toys in the play area, mostly revolving around role play/pretend play, so perfect for toddlers. When she was smaller, we spent more time in the soft play area upstairs. There's lots of space for little ones to explore and move around safely up there. There's great options for hot food, snacks and drinks available. My daughter cannot have dairy and we've never struggled to feed her here. Service is always quick and kind, even during busier times. We're always made to feel comfortable. It's so lovely having a local, welcoming, child-centered place to come and have a coffee while keeping small children entertained.
