Filly Café at Sylvia Park: A Family-Friendly Spot Worth Visiting
If you’re shopping at Sylvia Park with kids in tow and looking for a café that welcomes families, Filly Café is a great option to try. Located on the ground floor near Carpark 9, Filly stands out not just for its food, but for its horse themed cafe and thoughtful approach to accommodating families.
Why Families Love Filly
One of the standout features is the fenced play area beside the café, perfect for toddlers to burn off some energy while parents enjoy a much-needed break. It’s ideal if you’re visiting with little ones under three and want to sit nearby while keeping them safely entertained.
Filly also runs a “Kids Eat Free*” offer on weekdays for children under 10 when dining with an adult. The kids’ menu includes popular favourites like pancakes with berry mascarpone and crispy chicken with chips, which are easy, reliable choices that children tend to enjoy.
There’s plenty of space for prams, and high chairs are available, making it an easy spot to relax during or after a shopping trip. The café is also conveniently close to Sylvia Park’s parenting rooms, which include toddler toilets and change tables.
Food and Coffee for Everyone
Parents won’t feel like they’re compromising, either. The adult menu has a good range of brunch and lunch dishes, from a loaded Filly Cheesesteak to red velvet ricotta hotcakes. The drinks menu includes Atomic coffee, house-made smoothies and organic teas from Zealong.
It’s a great balance: a space where kids are welcome and catered for, and adults can still enjoy a decent café experience.
