Want an exceptional quality, cute as, *hidden* café on the city fringe, with a secluded river path to explore? Think large alfresco pavilion, shady garden with games strewn, and and irresistible brand new kids menu. Where well behaved dogs are welcome and there are zero cars whizzing past? Throw in coffee so good you will have at least two, and a setting so pretty you know there is a snap going direct to the gram? Bloom Café at 38 Winwood Street in Thebarton feels a little bit magical and ticks a lot of boxes for eating out with kids in tow! We loved it.
Offering up a cracking all day breakfast and lunch menu 7am – 4pm weekdays and 8am-4pm weekends, every one in the family is going to be happy and well catered here. You are going to want to settle in honestly. One stand out for us was the cast iron baked pancake, with roasted Myponga peach, house made vanilla ice cream, orange syrup and crushed roasted macadamia nuts.
Bookings are recommended, and you can do that in a few clicks on their website here, however it’s a big venue and walk ins can usually be accommodated outdoors.
The premises it self is a beautifully redesigned, century old, horse tram barn. It’s full of comfy nooks and corners, with the choice of indoor seating, or our pick with kids, outdoors under the alfresco pavilion roof. There is also a garden area with lush natural shade or simply choose to take away a coffee and pastry and explore the lush meandering river path! If you live in the west you could even ride here along linear park.
The food here is cooked with passion over hot coals and the presentation and care taken to ensure everything looks absolutely perfect is commendable . Locally sourced, seasonal menu’s that are just delicious really!
This would be a perfect spot for a family celebration and we can not get over how far removed we felt from the city, sitting in this little oasis. The kids absolutely loved it, and when they are happy and entertained, you know the deal, we are happy too!
Worth a mention, if it’s something special with out the kids that you are looking for? You can ‘make it boozy’ by adding a bottomless drinks package of beer, wine, champagne and cocktail jugs to any booking. Gather the gals!
In signing off, here’s a little statement from the talented owners……
“We welcome prams, pups, big birthday get-togethers and any one who loves good food and good vibes” – and this is exactly how we felt.

Find it at: Port Rd, Adelaide What a beautiful playground for kids of all ages! Renovated back in late 2012, the Bonython Park Playground has a some very cool features not found in the typical suburban park. Some of the best equipment includes two 25m flying fox lines fun for kids of all ages and an extensive water play area complete with pumps, gates and a watermill. Kids love playing and experimenting with water and this is a safe and interactive water zone to suits kids as young as 1, while still entertaining the older ones. The huge 'mouse wheel' can accommodate numerous energetic kids, there is a variety of swings and we love the wheelchair accessible carousel, water play troughs, communication boards and a nest swing that make this park a good one for kids of all ages and abilities. You also have to love the shade thrown by beautiful big old gum trees in this park. The playground backs onto a well kept oval for plenty of open space and a kit of the ball or fly of the kite and there are both toilet and BBQ facilities here. Perhaps the star of the show (for parents) is Cafe Bonython, located directly…

Find it at: Dove Street, Thebarton Grab some picnic eats from George Street Foodland, Sushi from The Brickworks or a ridiculously good coffee from Mister Sunshine's or The Deli, Thebarton all very near by, and hit up this little FENCED GEM that we discovered tucked away in the quieter streets Thebarton. Dove Street Reserve has had a 'do over' and it's looking great! We LOVE a flying fox here at Kids in Adelaide and this one doesn't disappoint. I'm calling it a 'just right fox' - not too crazy, not too lame and an absolute highlight for the bigger kids. The fully fenced play area sits to the side of a lovely big grassed area complete with cute rotunda shelter and a path suitable for balance bikes or young scooter riders. While there is no man made shades, the trees cast good coverage from the late afternoon sun. Features we rated highly were seats INSIDE and outside of the fence, a drink fountain, tables and bbq's (no shelter shed), bins, occasional plane spotting, 2 wobbly bridges, a small persons climbing wall, toilets RIGHT THERE, quiet street with easy parking, every thing was new and in working order too - that gets…

Find it at: Ballara St, Mile End Mile End Common is just off Victoria Ave and Bagshaw Way, Mile End. Tucked away just off Sir Donald Bradman Drive, it's a lovely green space with great play equipment for youngsters. With equipment aimed mainly at the over 5s, you will find a large climbing tower with tube side, swings, climbing rope pyramid and in-ground trampolines. There are also plenty of trees and open space to play around on in the common, a single ring half court basketball court, a paved and covered rotunda, a gas bbq and public toilets. The park is not fenced and while there isn't much local traffic, care should be taken that kids don't venture far from the play equipment. A great little West Adelaide playground in the inner suburbs.
