Would you like to have a drink in a place where children aren't considered persona non grata, a space where all kids are welcome and where they can have fun while you relax alone or with friends? Our guide to family-friendly cafés and tearooms is for you. Here's the list of cafés in and around Paris that the editors of Sortir à Paris have unearthed for you.

Are you looking for a quiet, cosy place to relax with your family and children, without them getting in the way? Follow our guide to kid-friendly cafés, where you can enjoy a drink, a chocolate or a quiet lunch in a child-friendly environment!

It's not always easy to go out for a hot chocolate with the family, or to have a snack with the youngest: after five minutes, they start fidgeting all over the place, and it's hard not to make noise or disturb customers looking for a quiet space... In response to the growing demand from new parents, Paris has seen the emergence of a number of cafés created especially for families looking for a place that combines a cosy spot with a kid-friendly space, with activities or a play area for them. In and around Paris, particularly in the inner suburbs, more and more cafés are catering for families, with children's menus for lunch, homemade desserts for snacks and hot, gourmet drinks.

The à la carte menu often includes the classic hot drinks you'd expect from any café, with espressos, long drinks, cappuccinos, tea, hot chocolate, lattes (golden latte, matcha latte, chai latte, etc.), freshly squeezed fruit juices and cold drinks. When it comes to snacks, it's impossible for these cafés not to serve a whole host of proposals to satisfy young and old gourmets alike! From tarts, mousses and fondants to yoghurt and granola, crêpes, waffles and pastries from other parts of the world, you'll be spoilt for choice! What's more, the vast majority of our cakes are homemade, baked on site using local produce.

To keep your little ones occupied, some cafés offer a play area with slides or a miniature kitchen. Others offer self-service access to books, sorted according to the age of their target audience, as well as board games, and even places to hide away from parents and play with friends. The bonus of these kid-friendly places? More often than not, they welcome parents, grandparents and children on weekends and Wednesdays, while on other days, the space is transformed into a cozy coworking space, with a great offer for lunch, brunch or a drink. So, which children's café is your dream place?
