ellaslist Reviews The Very Kid-Friendly Little Rock Cafe

By: Lenore Pearson, ellaslist explorer

Pulled Pork Burger, Iced Caramel, Fanta Spiders and BabyCinos are just a selection of the delectable choices available at the Little Rock Café.

With a comprehensive and versatile menu, this moderately priced, family friendly café is located in our local shopping mall in Baulkham Hills. It is a popular choice among locals especially my family. It never disappoints, and the kids always enjoy visiting Little Rock for a special lunch treat.

What Makes It Kid Friendly?

Little Rock Café offer a separate kids menu with substantial choice for both breakfast and lunch. They have an outdoor covered play area that is gated and suitable for under 5 year olds and there are a range of children’s books available to read at the table while waiting for a meal. The Play area (My Funland) was recently relaunched as a partnership with Touched By Olivia Foundation to create an all-inclusive playspace for all abilities.

Good news parents – the café is licensed and BYO wine only with $2.50 corkage per person. They offer a delicious and generous menu choice for adults and serve a scrumptious breakfast until 12 noon with a price range starting from $3.90.
Starters from $12.90 to $19.90
Mains from $17.90 to $27.90
Sweets from $3.90 to $14.90

Why Would Your Kids Love To Go Back?

To try the different flavoured ‘Spiders’. My eldest loved the Fanta spider!
Service is prompt and attentive…who has a patient child when it comes to food?? My kids were impressed with how quickly they were served and the play area was a hit with my younger two.

 

Top Tip

Bring something extra to entertain older kids, younger kids love the play area but my 9 year old took one look at it and decided it wasn’t for him.
Make sure you grab an outdoor table with the view of the play area.
