Play cafe aimed at pre-school children. Hot and cold drinks, cakes and light meals are available. No separate breastfeeding area, but their website states they are breastfeeding friendly and both sofa and dining-chair style seating is available in the cafe area. SeeSaw has a friendly, relaxed atmosphere, and I would feel comfortable feeding my child by any means here.

Members of the Sparks loyalty scheme can join "the parent hood" club for a free slice of cake, pastry or fruit pot when purchasing a hot drink, on Tuesdays from 0930-1130. They advertise this time as a parent & baby morning where you can meet other parents; I haven't personally attended one of these to know how it works

Cafe serving cakes and light meals. High chairs available. Space for a couple of prams within the cafe.

We visited Cafe @ The Meeting Place within Stonelaw Church, after a walk in nearby Overtoun Park. The cafe is quite a modest set-up, but very friendly and we really did feel the wee ones were welcome. There are no high chairs, but plenty of space for prams, and there was a box of toys available for toddlers to play with. They serve hot drinks and a selection of home baking, which we found very tasty. The prices were very reasonable, but be aware the cafe is cash only and there is no cash machine in the immediate vicinity.
