Carlisle Street is actually quite a baby-friendly street. I had never really noticed that before, but the shops are easy to get into and you can pretty much do all your practical and fun shopping in one hit. Needless to say, coffee abounds.

Lava has actually become a family favourite for a number of reasons. It is a large and simple space, with a communal table at the front window and traditional café seating inside. Table spacing is good, so that you don’t feel like you are shoving your beautiful bundle of joy in everyone’s face.

The food is yum and easy going. Friends have commented that the Bircher that they serve there is superb. I can’t seem to get past the eggs. The real winner here are the staff though. They are without fail friendly, accommodating and nice to baby! You will often see families breakfasting here and it is no wonder.
