Belgium
Pause & Play
The closest thing to a true play café in Brussels and one of the best options for babies and toddlers. The play area is divided by age group (under and over three years of age), with a focus on wooden toys rather than plastic. Parents can enjoy quality coffee and healthy food while maintaining full visibility of their children. Additional highlights include private parking and complimentary nappies at the baby-changing stations.
