Open Arms Cafe

"Kids just eat this up!"

Holy playgroup heaven! I was there today without my kids, just to meet someone for lunch (she had her 1 year old with her) and during the time we were there numerous Moms/Dads kept coming and going to grab a bite to eat and take advantage of the wonderful set up they have for kids.

Nestled in the far corner there is a cute play area complete with a wooden kitchen, rocking horse and comfy chair perfect for reading a story or nursing. This place is completely kid friendly. You can park your stroller outside on the porch (or your pooch - I spied a dog bed just waiting for a doggie to lie down on it) or bring it in, there is plenty of room. The bathroom has a changing table and a step-stool making it easy for little ones to reach what they need to.

The food was delicious too. Lots of options for kids of all ages made with local ingredients. The location is key as well, a perfect pit-stop after story-time, a music class in town or a visit to Shelburne Museum or Shelburne Farms.
