Thinking about making a Birdie Num Nums booking?
Melbourne mums know that childcare is an all-day, all-weather job, so it’s little surprise that Birdie Num Nums caters to the care of little ones from just about dawn (8am, seven days a week) to four in the afternoon – when it’s naptime for any age! The courtyard and sandpit out back of the cafe’s Nicholson Street location is a top choice for toddlers, and you can rest assured that it’s sheltered from both sun and rain. While the kids make sand-wiches, why not kick back with a boutique Teadrop tea or a Bonsoy latte prepared from Axil Coffee Roasters beans? Heck, why not go for one of the quality beers?
As for the food, Birdie Num Nums has worked hard to present a cafe menu that the whole family can enjoy. There’s small and big breakfast options, an all-day lunch menu, and of course a special kids’ menu for the picky eaters at the table. From eggs your way to the Birdie’s double smash avo to the pan-fried corn fritters for lunch, we still can’t go past the avocado and vegemite soldiers! Be warned: given that Birdie Num Nums serves a very select section of the Melbourne community and is located in bustling Carlton North, the cafe does get very busy with groups of mums and dads taking a break, so to guarantee a table at this kid-friendly Melbourne cafe, making a reservation beforehand is recommended.
