If you’re looking for the perfect spot to recharge with a cup of Joe while the little ones let loose, look no further.
We’re spilling the beans on Fifteen Bar in Bloomdale Estate. Not only does this Diggers Rest cafe have a fun playground, the food is fantastic – and kids eat free!
Fifteen Bar Diggers Rest Cafe
As parents, we’re all on the quest for that magical place where our love for good coffee can seamlessly coexist with our kids’ boundless energy.
Enter Fifteen Bar, run by Nicole and Ashley, the dynamic duo behind Sunbury’s beloved Krash & Co. From sourcing goods from local suppliers to organising neighbourhood events, they’re continuing the tradition established by Krash & Co.
First things first – the outdoor playground is a game-changer!
Picture yourself enjoying a creamy cappuccino while the kiddos let their imaginations run wild in the spacious outdoor play area.
Complete with two cubbies, a sandpit, hopscotch, fake turf, a ride-in car, and other outdoor toys, this fully fenced playspace is suitable for children of all ages. There’s a shade cloth over parts of the area, too.
While the playground is separate from the cafe dining area, there are several tables within view of the space. Some bench seats are located within the fenced play area, to accommodate any adults supervising.
Now, let’s talk about the brunch menu at Fifteen Bar. It’s designed to satisfy both grown-up cravings and the discerning taste buds of our little ones.
We recommend hearty classics like eggs benedict to the tasty waffles with ice cream dripping with syrup. Parents of pint-sized gourmands will love the kids’ menu and best of all, with any adult meal you get a kid’s meal for free!
Whether seated indoors or out, Fifteen Bar’s ambiance is warm and inviting. The staff, with their friendly smiles and attentive service, go above and beyond to make us feel at home.
We are provided with books and colouring activities at our table, offered high chairs, and asked about dietary requirements. Thank you, Dom, for looking after our family!
