This is such a fun place! The food is great, which is always a bonus, but the staff and craft make this a great place to visit with your kids, great value and will now be our go to cafe for happy kids and parents!
I was so impressed with the staff! My goodness they really went above and beyond to make Mr 4 and I feel welcome. Service like that just isn’t the norm any more!! They were kind, funny and genuinely enjoyed having a cafe full of kids � compliments to the Chef too!!! My Happy Crafter Breakfast was spectacular. Thankyou so much for a fun, relaxing and delicious day out. 10 stars out of 5 stars xxx
EDIT: I was here for a children’s birthday party, but have now been here for the “regular” Crafternoon experience.
The food we had was pretty good, while the coffee was OK. Average. If you’re only going for food and coffee, which I saw some people doing, I wouldn’t rush to come here. Brunswick/Coburg is filled with great cafes. However, Crafternoon is the PERFECT place to go if crafts, or simply having something to keep your kids busy, is an important factor.
One thing I’ll say about the food is that the menu is mostly — I’d guesstimate 2/3rds — is vegetarian food, while meat dishes are a side focus. Even as a meat-eater, I think the focus on vegetarian food is fantastic!!! Most meals can have meat added to it (bacon), but I think people should just accept the fact that a meal doesn’t NEED meat to taste good. I was very satisfied with the menu, and my meal (Mount Mushroom). This is in direct contrast to most other cafes and restaurants, where vegetarian options are a bit of an afterthought.
the place is full with warmth, as you will find small kids with their parents enjoying morning brunch and drawing together, its like a small kinder-garden where kids to be themselves and enjoy the company of parents.
The parents get to live their kinder-garden moments again. so i guess to get back to nostalgic moments, this is an ideal place to clear up the head and enjoy your kids.
i liked the hospitality of staff also food is great, priced reasonable. a must go place highly recommended if you are around.
Great cafe to take your kids!! Love the idea of the cafe where you can have a break drinking a coffee while your child/toddler enjoys craft activities. Very friendly staff.
I love this place, I come here with the girls I babysit and they enjoy it, especially the craft side of things, the food and drinks are good too. It’s great for kids of all ages as they do craft whilst eating.
Nice cafe on Sydney Rd. Interesting decor for kids offering arts and crafts supplies. Coffee was average and the barista was friendly. Will come back for breakfast sometime when in the area!
Whoever came up with the idea of combining a cafe with craft activities to keep your little ones occupied was a genius! Crafternoon is the very definition of kid friendly and family friendly. They offer brunch, light meals and the all important coffee for mum and dad, combined with craft activities for kids...what a perfect morning or afternoon out for the whole family! @plantbasedmum_
Absolutely tremendous place. My 19month old loved it. The staff were amazingly friendly and the service was very good.
They have fun options for kids of all ages and I would suggest it to all families. There's a park about 50m away with 3 slides, swings and lots of open space.
The food and the activities are excellent.
I could not recommend this more highly.
I have been her a few times now with a friend and her daughter. I always get the mushroom mountain which is delicious. I have found the staff to be so friendly and helpful. The craft ideas are awesome and great for young kids.
It's a great cafe to come for a coffee and enjoy one of their fluffy muffins. Always fresh and the service is very friendly and you always feel welcome.
The provision of crafts and coffee is definitely an interesting concept. The shop interior is colourful and welcoming with absolutely delightful staff. Dropped in with two friends and we throughly enjoyed the experience.
Great cafe to take your kids!! Love the idea of the cafe where you can have a break drinking a coffee while your child/toddler enjoys craft activities. Very friendly staff.
Great experience. A cafe where we can sit and relax chat have a coffee while our children do craft activities.
Would go back. A friend booked a birthday party for her daughter based on our experience!
Had an excellent experience with my very messy toddler this morning. Enjoyed my coffee while she painted away. Staff were very kind and understanding which is not always the case when you have small children. My 21 month old had a couple of tantrums at one point and staff member was very accommodating and understanding of her mood at the time which I appreciated. I felt very welcomed with my children and enjoyed the craft activities myself. It was hands down the most child friendly cafe I’ve ever been to. Certainly didn’t get any ‘stares’ here for bringing my children along to my coffee session.
We had a lovely morning celebrating Father's Day at Crafternoon. The staff were lovely and the food was nice. There was a good selection of craft on the menu. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the craft equipment and the cafe generally. I have a three and one year old so eating out is tricky, it is nice to have found somewhere that keeps everyone happy.
We always have an amazing time here at Crafternoon and today was no different. Staff are fun, friendly and very understanding of what comes with having children in a cafe and accommodate them beautifully. The crafts are always fantastic and keep my 3 year old very entertained. Food is always great as well. Great idea pulled off beautifully by the atmosphere and culture created by all the staff. Highly recommend this place!
This place is outstanding.
My 19month old loved it. Loved. It.
The service is excellent and the space is more than kid friendly, it's designed for kids. The food was good and the coffee was good.
They provide all the crafts you could want and clean it up with a smile! It's heaven.
This place is so much fun. The staff are friendly and great at helping you choose a project. The food is basic but tasty and there are some fun options like the cupcakes that come with a pallette of decorations to do yourself. I've been with kids and adults and everyone always has a great time.
