Brisbane’s best kid-friendly cafes and restaurants

You’ve got one or a bunch of rowdy kids. You’re on edge after de-crusting your billionth sandwich and can’t bring yourself to butter another slice of bread. Why not take the troupe out to one of Brisbane’s best kid-friendly cafes and restaurants so someone else has the pleasure of creating kid-approved cuisine? Not to mention dealing with the post-apocalyptic level clean-up after your clan is finished.

If you’re looking for cafes with play nooks to keep the little ones busy while you take a breather, plus kids’ menus that delight even the trickiest junior MasterChef judge, here’s our round-up of the top cafes and restaurants in Brisbane to dine out with the family.

Miss Bliss Whole Foods Kitchen, West End

Order at the counter and head straight to the back to let the kids loose in the astroturfed ‘backyard’ at one of the best kid-friendly cafes in West End. There’s a table for littlies with toys aplenty and tonnes of comfy bench space for the older kids.

This place is known for its organic goodness (the menu is also loaded with vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options), so adventurous children might like the mini mango chia pudding with fresh fruit from the Baby Bliss menu. They also stock old-school favourites here like soft-boiled eggs with soldiers and avo to keep everyone happy.

For adults, it’s all about the bowls on the all-day menu. Try the caramel crunch acai bowl or crispy skin salmon poke bowl and wash it down with a summer greens smoothie.

Where: 85 Vulture St, West End. Open: Weekdays from 6:30am ’til 3:30pm, Saturday and Sunday from 7am ’til 3pm.

Smug Fig Cafe, East Brisbane

Open for brekkie and lunch, the Smug Fig is a cute kid-friendly cafe inside a garden nursery. The kids’ menu is full of popular picks like waffles, bacon and eggs, and toasted banana bread with ice-cream, as well as shakes, juice and babycinos.

Explore the nursery with the kids or sit towards the back of the cafe to draw on the chalkboard, play with the toys and read the books in the kids’ nook.

Parents will love the Smug Fig’s out-there all-day brunch menu featuring pumpkin and corn fritters, breakfast tots with Spanish chorizo or the jerk chicken burger. Even the crushed avo is next level, served on organic sourdough with pumpkin hummus, semi-dried tomato and dukkah. Be sure to ask what the French toast special of the day is – you might end up with an epic Bubble-O-Bill inspired artwork that tastes as good as it looks.

Where: 999 Stanley St East, East Brisbane. Open: Monday to Saturday from 7am ’til 3pm, Sundays from 8am til 3pm.

Monkey Bar Cafe, Greenslopes

This cafe is besties with its next-door neighbour, aka a huge playground, which makes it a perfect spot for sunny days. Your mini-mes will also love brekkie menu items like the mini pancake stack or sourdough toast with Vegemite and a poached egg.

Lunch for the little ones is sorted with mini bolognese or crumbed chicken and chips; while parents can gorge on the loaded veggie fritters or spicy bruschetta from the all-day breakfast menu. Everyone in the fam can up their antioxidant or dairy intake with a milkshake or smoothie, like the ice-cold berry concoction.

Where: 98 Victoria Terrace, Greenslopes. Open: Monday to Friday from 6:30am ’til 1:30pm, Saturday and Sunday from 6:30am ’til 1:30pm.

Carport Cafe, Cannon Hill

You’d be forgiven for driving by this hidden kid-heaven without noticing it. Keep an eye out for the colourful sign at the front, run to the counter and bag a spot near the kids’ table and leafy garden out the back.

You’ll find tonnes of books, chalk, toys and even a doll’s house to keep your little people busy while you try a sweet treat or something more serious from the Carport Cafe menu. The brekkie stack is your friend if you’re into honey-roasted pumpkin, spinach, grilled tomato and halloumi. After all, life is better with halloumi.

If you’re visiting around lunchtime, try the chicken burger or feta, avocado, walnuts and roasted pumpkin salad. The kids’ menu has faves like eggs or house-made beans on toast and cheese toasties. For chilled drinks, try Carport’s cold-pressed juices (we recommend the lychee kiss), smoothies and milkshakes.

As well as being one of the best kid-friendly cafes around, Carport is dog-friendly too.

Where: 3 Pickwick St, Cannon Hill. Open: Daily from 6:30am ’til 2pm.

Chapter IV, Paddington

Chapter IV is the perfect family-friendly cafe with an epic all-day brekkie menu and a gated play area. Mums and dads will love the breakfast options, from soft shell crab eggs bennie to coconut waffles with Nutella brownie ice-cream, brekky reuben, and crispy potato and cheddar hash cakes. *wipes drool*

The kids can enjoy a cheesy grin toastie, scrambled eggs, zoo-friend pancakes or dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets. Little ones can also go for a babycino or milkshake (regular flavours like vanilla and chocolate are on offer, as well as hazelnut and frosted mint).

Where: 180 Latrobe Terrace, Paddington. Open: Monday to Sunday from 7am ’til 2:30pm.

Charlie’s Raw Squeeze, Everton Park

Charlie’s Raw Squeeze is a 100% plant-based bar specialising in raw treats and bowls of goodness. The kids can grab special juices like the ABC (apple, beetroot and carrot) or dreamy orange (splicing an original with some pineapple and apple).

Little and big people will love the acai bowls, ‘nicecream’ and raw treats. Aside from the colourful food and drinks on offer at this healthy hotspot, kids will dig the peekaboo opportunities in the tee-pee, cubby to climb on, books, board games and toys.

Bonus: If you need to stock up on bananas and other staples, you can also buy your fruit and veg here, too.

Where: 473 South Pine Road, Everton Park. Open: Daily from 6am ’til 10pm.

Willow & Spoon, Wilston

The outdoor kids’ play area at Willow & Spoon is more like a family backyard, decked out with a chalkboard, play kitchen, games and toys that’s all in full view of the covered dining area. Oh, and it’s pet-friendly too!

Kids can keep things simple for both breakfast and lunch with cheese and Vegemite or Nutella toasties, muesli with honey milk, or fruit and marshmallow kebabs. The kids’ beverage options include cloudy apple or orange juice; or for something of the dairy persuasion, a babycino or kids-sized milkshake.

Parents can nibble on the extensive brunch menu which ranges from brioche French toast with peanut and chocolate Nutella butter to poached eggs with pulled beef and smoked cheese sauce. Fancy!

These guys are serious about sweets, with a separate dessert menu featuring apple and rhubarb crumble with lavender cream, and toasted banana bread with ricotta, honey and walnut butter.

Where:190 Newmarket Road, Wilston. Open: Tuesday to Sunday from 7am ’til 2pm.

Plum Tucker, Red Hill

Think you know avo on toast? Think again. Plum Tucker serves up two options for this staple brekky dish: go simple with black sesame and lemon, or indulge in the sweet potato and red harissa variation served with miso dressed greens and dukkah.

There’s a great kids’ area upstairs, which is also available for kids’ parties. On the menu are old faithfuls like gooey eggs with soldiers, cheese on toast, and bacon and egg rolls, plus babycinos (complete with sprinkles and marshmallows), AJ and OJ, milkshakes and smoothies.

Where: 5 Enoggera Terrace, Red Hill. Open: Daily from 6am ’til 2pm.

The Soul Pantry Kitchen, Stafford

The Soul Pantry Kitchen is a shopping hub for locally-sourced food, plants and homewares. And it’s kid-friendly to boot. The café has loads of vegetarian and gluten-free breakfast and lunch options – think quiches or a nourish bowl for parents, and seasonal fruit salad or avocado on toast for the little ones.

The large warehouse space has a workshop out the back and a great indoor area for kids to play while you’re getting caffeinated for the day. During school holidays, kids can even learn about plant selection, design and care at the Kids Adventure Garden Workshops.

Where: 31 Wolverhampton St, Stafford. Open: Tuesday to Friday from 8am ’til 4pm, Saturday from 8am ’til 2pm.

Tiddlywinks Dance and Play Cafe, Nundah

Present and future dance mums and dads, warm up your jazz hands! If your little ones like to get their groove on and shake it all about, head to Tiddlywinks in Nundah. More of an indoor play centre than a specialist café, Tiddlywinks features a three-storey playground and toddler area, plus daily disco for kids (parents can share their moves as well for a dose of huffy puffy).

To refuel, kids can chow down on healthy freshly-prepared meals and fruit from the cafe (gluten-free, vegan and nut-free options available), while parents can sip on coffee.

Where: 264 Melton Road, Nundah. Open: Tuesday to Friday from 9:30am ’til 2:30pm, Saturday from 9am ’til 4pm, Sunday from 1pm ’til 4:30pm.

The Kids Play Cafe has you sorted for coffees, milkshakes, slushies and juices, and snacks galore in between your tennis matches – or lessons, which kids over three can take at Pure Tennis Academy.

Where: 144 Samford Road, Ferny Hills. Open: Monday to Saturday from 9am ’til 12pm.

Moe’s Southwest Grill Unveils “The Oasis,” a New Prototype and Test Restaurant in Atlanta, GA

Southwest Region of U.S. inspired fast casual brand’s design and culinary innovation

Atlanta, GA (RestaurantNews.com) Moe’s Southwest Grill®, a fast casual restaurant brand will open its new test kitchen and prototype, The Oasis, near the brand’s headquarters in Atlanta, GA on November 16. At this new location, local fans can experience the updated design and menu items currently in testing. New menu items will begin to rollout system-wide starting next year.

“Over the past 18-months we’ve taken a comprehensive look at our brand and intently listened to our fans in the process. As a result, we have updated the restaurant design and expanded the menu – both of which deliver on the brand’s new positioning, ‘Untamed Southwest,'” said Bruce Schroder, President, Moe’s Southwest Grill. By fully activating our middle name and putting our own distinctive spin on the meaning of Southwest, our goal is to maintain cultural relevance and truly set ourselves apart in the fast casual restaurant industry.”

We’re not about to change what makes Moe’s special so we’ll be amplifying our fan favorites including the “Welcome to Moe’s!” greeting, our free chips and salsa and our famous queso. The Untamed Southwest positioning will continue to highlight our free-spirited attitude and our family-friendly environment; plus, we will continue to serve the menu staples that made us famous like burritos, bowls, stacks and quesadillas.

With new dietary habits like keto, paleo and vegan becoming more prevalent combined with the on-demand economy where consumers have a proliferation of choice and scarcity of time, Moe’s wanted to create a fast casual dining experience that suits the individual needs of the entire family and besties alike. Moe’s is now testing an elevated menu to include new proteins, entree platforms, and shareables.

New menu highlights:

Avocado Caesar Salad: Yucatan Shrimp, Shredded Romaine Lettuce, Sliced Hass Avocado®, Cilantro, Cotija Cheese, Crispy Tortillas, Avocado Caesar Dressing.

Avocado Caesar Salad

Quinoa Power Bowl: Mojo Chicken, Quinoa andf Brown Rice Mix, Frijoles, Shredded Romaine Lettuce, Corn Pico, Sliced Hass Avocado®, Cilantro, Queso Fresco, Salsa Verde.

Quinoa Power Bowl

Street Taco: Crunchy Avocado, Soft Blue Corn Tortilla, Diced Onion, Queso Fresco, Cilantro, Lime, Chipotle Ranch.

Street Taco

Torta: Applewood Smoked Brisket, Bolillo Bread, Frijoles, Chihuahua Cheese, Mayo, Sliced Tomato, Shredded Romaine Lettuce, Cilantro, Ancho BBQ Sauce.

Torta

Shareables: Street Corn, Crunchy Avocado, Charro Beans, Mac ‘N Queso and Bunuelos.

Street Corn

Charro Beans

Mac ‘N Queso

Bunuelos

“When you think of the Southwest region in the U.S., you generally think of the four corners – Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah. We started there and then pulled in elements from other areas in California and Texas – these locations combined provided the culinary inspiration for the bold menu items that we are testing,” said Ciaran Duffy, Executive Chef, Moe’s Southwest Grill. “Spices and ingredients like adobo, poblano peppers and hatch chiles are featured throughout the menu at The Oasis in addition to classic Moe’s concoctions served with our delicious queso and variety of salsas on the Salsa Bar.”

Beyond culinary innovation, The Oasis will feature new design features based on in-depth research and interviews with new and loyal guests. Expanding on the classic Moe’s design pallet, the brand has added colors and textures reflective of the diverse culture and breathtaking landscape of the Southwest. The Window to the Southwest, a brand hallmark, is a video played in the restaurant; it is an authentic way to give our fans an inside peek into what the Southwest means to us at Moe’s and how it encourages our attitude, food and culture.

In addition, the operational enhancements developed for the prototype design ensure convenient service from engaged team members. Examples include a second production line and specific pick-up station for guests who use delivery and online ordering. Moe’s remains a go-to spot for busy families and large groups; therefore, the prototype design includes a variety of seating options including booths, banquet and communal tables.

The Oasis is located at 1450 Ernest Barrett Parkway in Kennesaw, GA and will begin serving guests November 16, 2018.

Fans can also try the new menu items in testing at Moe’s Sandy Springs, GA at 6090 Roswell Road Sandy Springs, GA and, beginning in early 2019, at Moe’s Braselton, GA; Moe’s Phenix City, AL; and Moe’s Moline, IL.
