We've all been there - craving a freshly brewed cup of coffee that's just out of reach. For me, it's worth braving the coffee shop down the street because I just can't replicate that perfect flavor at home.
But it's not just about the taste - I'm also after that sense of excitement and novelty.
As a parent, it's not always easy to get out and about, but it's great to have some decent spots nearby.
I recently discovered a new coffee shop that's definitely giving my old favorite a run for its money.
What really sets it apart is the kids' area - it's a total lifesaver for parents like me.
The play area is spacious and there are plenty of other fun features to explore.
My kids can easily spend hours here without disturbing me.

The disposable cups were a bit of a letdown, but maybe it's just a temporary thing - we ordered drinks and snacks to enjoy in the cafe.
The service was top-notch, with friendly and welcoming baristas and owners.
They're always happy to help and make sure you have everything you need.
What did I order?
I usually go for a latte (300 rubles for a large one), but this time I was in the mood for something sweeter and more relaxing, so I opted for hot chocolate (210 rubles for 450 ml).
They have a lot of unique drinks on the menu.
The drinks are super hot, which is great for me since I often find them too cold.
The hot chocolate was rich and chocolatey, and I was pleasantly surprised.
The sandwiches were a great value (280 rubles for a pair), and they were toasted to perfection.
They have pizza on the menu too.
I'm intrigued by the cream-filled doughnuts (100 rubles each) and the Moti (a new Asian dessert for 210 rubles, or 50 rubles more than the Dubai version), as well as the diet bars and 50-ruble doughnuts.
The prices are very reasonable, below what I'm used to.
