About this place: A café on Maryport's South Quay overlooking the harbour, serving cakes, sandwiches (including a full gluten-free menu) and drinks, with both indoor and outdoor seating and a log burner for colder days. Why it's kid-friendly: it sits right next to a children's playground, splash zone and mini-golf that families can use before or after eating — reviewers specifically call out the playground at the back and describe it as "particularly good if you've got children."
