Organic Living - Plumstead

Nathan and I have visited this Coffee Shop/Deli a number of times with the Mom's and Babes group. Today we went with a couple of friends to test out the play area for the first time, thinking it is time for him to be able to play a bit on his own. Unfortunately for us, the sandpit and jungle gym are separated from the tables by a hedge, so I couldn't leave N to play on his own. It will be great for slightly older children who can cope with climbing and sliding on their own. There was a little black bike and kiddies table with colouring in which the children could all share.

There is no specific children's menu, but N has enjoyed the fruit and veg juices since he was old enough to slurp them out of a teaspoon. Today he shared my sandwich (R18 choice of bread, type of cheese, salad ingredients and sauces) - ciabatta with cheddar, lettuce, sprouts, fruit chutney, pickles and sun-dried tomatoes. We also had a freshly juiced Pear drink (R9) while my friends enjoyed their White Hot Chocolate (R14) and Cheese Cake (R18) with some left over to take home for the dads. It has a lovely outdoor setting with blankets and heaters for cooler days, as well as some indoor tables and even one more private room which we have been able to take over in the past.
