I used to think babycinos were a ridiculous idea - a frivolous marketing gimmick dreamed up for yummy mummys. Then I had my own children and moved to Brisbane. I love the unique, independent coffee shops here and there's no better way to start my day than a walk out to one of the many fabulous cafes to enjoy a freshly ground coffee. Part of what makes it fun is that my nearly 3 year old loves going too to have her own mini version of my coffee and talk together about what's going on around us. We have quickly become babycino connoisseurs, discovering that, like the coffee in Brisbane, each babycino is a bit different. Here are five of the best we have found:

Brown Dog Cafe, Woolloongabba
The babycinos come in cute orange china cups and saucers and my daughter likes the cartoon graffitti on the walls. There are low tables and box stools on the pavement outside to watch the world go by.



Oxford Street Bakery Cafe, Bulimba
We loved the stripy china cups and saucers, with lots of chocolate sprinkles and a marshmallow. Best of all, there is an eye-popping selection of mini muffins and M&M covered cakes.



French Twist, Bulimba
The babycinos look just like a mini version of a grown up coffee with classic white china cups and saucers. Ours came with two marshmallows. The highlight though at French Twist is looking for the owl who can often be found sleeping above your heads on the ceiling fan. Love Street playground is also just around the corner.



Poppy's Basket, South Bank
My daughter loved the mini corrugated cups at Poppy's Basket. There is an excellent selection of scones, croissants and other pastries at the counter. Best of all, this cafe is just across from the fantastic Southbank waterpark so after your coffee stop you can enjoy a day out at the inner city beach.



Bulimba Memorial Park, Bulimba
This is my favourite place for a (make-believe) babycino. The little ones can grind up wood chips in the pretend espresso machine at the play cafe and serve to parents or new friends they make at the park and let their imaginations run wild. Best of all, these babycinos are free!
