2025 Best Kid-Friendly Eatery

The Tot Cafe by Little Cocoa Bean Company

There are only so many coloring books and stickers you can pack in the bag—eventually, your toddler is going to get antsy when dining out, and then it’s game over. That’s why the idea behind the Little Cocoa Bean Co.’s Tot Café is so genius: Here families will find healthful, kid-friendly meals that parents will enjoy, too (think: rainbow waffles, squash mac ‘n’ cheese, “unicorn" yogurt); places to play and read; and even clean and comfy changing tables for the inevitable diaper mess. The best news of all? This summer, the Tot Café is opening a new space in the Boston Children’s Museum (with public access), so they have even more reason to behave.
