MEET YOU AT MUMMY’S!

Anew kid-friendly cafe has opened in Nirimba, Aura, and it’s already proving to be a popular meet-up spot for parents, families, and mother’s groups.

“We have three kids and we struggled for places to go with them,” explained owner Codie Miller.

“So the idea was to create a casual, family-orientated cafe where everyone can feel comfortable – tradies for a breakfast, mums for co"ee, young professionals for brunch, families for lunch.”

Boasting a fabulous coastal-themed kids play area where the kids can safely play whilst mums can have a co"ee, Mummy’s Cafe is raising the bar on family-friendly cafes.

“The play area has a timber boat and we also have a large grassed area for kids to run around,” said Cody. “In the summer we’ll have activities set up here such as sprinklers for the kids to play in.”

“As we become more established we also aim to have a calendar of events solely focused on kids and families, with arts and crafts, school holiday activities and more.” All activities will be announced on their social pages.

With a gorgeous timber deck, great co"ee and owners that understand the challenges of eating out with kids, the owners are looking forward to having lots of kids and families enjoying the space in the coming months.
