We arrived a little early for my book club meeting so I had a little time to settle in the wriggler. The staff were very friendly and understanding of a preschooler who couldn't sit still - crayons and colouring in sheets arrived at the table shortly after we did.
As my friends turned up, more crayons appeared for the older kids and plenty of water and glasses. There was a slight hiccup manoeuvring a pram down the stairs and through the crowded space, but once we were settled there was plenty of room for everyone.
The menu at the Pancake Parlour hasn't changed in years. We ordered an assortment of coffees, hot chocolates and sweet treats. I suppose the pancakes are a little expensive for what they are, but the children's serve comes with ice cream and syrup and the wriggler finished his before I could even ask for a bite. I'd flag that as success.
The coffee is fine. It isn't Braddon Street Roasters or your very favourite coffee specialist, but my flat white was strong, not bitter or watery and came in a very large mug. The colouring-in sheets even gave me time to finish it in peace.
The verdict:
While Civic isn't my first destination for coffee with kids in tow, The Pancake Parlour isn't bad. There's plenty of afternoon tea options for kids and grown-ups alike.
