Love this place! A lot of the time you feel really judged bringing toddlers to cafes when they spend 99% of the time... screaming. Linnhe doesn't bat an eyelid when my little ones have a meltdown. The gated areas mean they can't escape and I can enjoy a drink. We love the milkshakes & cakes and of course the beautiful clothes you can buy!😍(Bea wearing trousers from Mini eden)read more

Wonderful shop and a friendly, supportive atmosphere. Good selection of drinks and treats for adults and children as... well as free fruit on a Friday for the kids. Really lovely clothes and toys for sale and there are even gift vouchers available to buy if you can’t decide on a gift. Linnhe is very relaxed and friendly with her customers and very helpful too. I really like going there and my son does too - don’t know what we’d do without mini Eden! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️read more
