Babycinos

Last weekend I dragged my hubby and two bambinos off to a cafe that I discovered via Facebook - Babycinos (1 Northampton Pl, off Punt Rd, South Yarra). Great venue just off Punt Rd and there is ample parking...I know Punt Road and South Yarra are not not known for their ample parking!!! But next to the cafe is a four hour carpark. The cafe is set up for mums and bubs....they are 'toddler friendly, not toddler tolerant'. The seating is outside, but have no fear the veranda is enclosed and there are heaters. The outside area is tan barked and there is play equipment for the kidlets. There is also an indoor playroom if the Melbourne weather turns bad (it has been known to happen!). The coffee is good, the menu is simple but is comprised of good home-cooked food and caters for even the fussiest of eaters. Raffety's Garden and Heinz products are also available for the little bubbas and there is Pop Juice available for the older kids. I strongly recommend that the mums living in Melbourne go and check it out and support local small business - the owner is very friendly and is always up for a good chat. It would be a great venue for a mothers group with toddlers. The kids are safely locked in the backyard and can play to their hearts content while the mums get down to the real business of mother's group and blow off steam!!!! If you are on Facebook check out the Babycinos page and become a fan.
