- High chairs and booster seats
- Have food the kiddos will eat
- Entertainment for said child ( coloring books, toys, puzzles, etc.)
- Changing tables in both restroom areas for both parents
- Atmosphere that is child friendly
- Affordability
- Child friendly staff
- Kids Cups
- Breastfeeding friendly
- Out of the way extras for kids
So I will slowly be adding places to this rating list based on these parameters and expectations. We do not count promptness of service for a number of reasons. Mostly because if they busy they are busy and you can't do much about that. Both my husband and myself have worked in food services and know a number of variables that are in the card.
Two our knowledge Bagel central has two wooden high chairs and no booster seats. All of the food they serve is kid friendly in my opinion. I have never met a kid who doesn't enjoy breakfast foods or at least bagels. They have a basket filled with books next to where the high chairs and booster seats are kept. They have gender neutral bathrooms with a table that works great as a changing table in a pinch. They are super affordable and love seeing children come in. You will need to pack your own sippy if a cup with a straw will not work for your child or a bottle drink. They are so breast feeding friendly they host La Leche meetings weekly. The set up is very open and welcoming to the community making it ideal for families/ multiple families to bring their children.
Bagel Central is located next door to the Briar Patch book store and a great place to go for breakfast before a day at the Discovery Museum/ Story time at BPL or lunch after an activity at Maine Cloth Diaper/ open gym at Bangor Parks and Rec. Once or twice a year the co-host events for Kid Central which gives them an extra edge. I rate Bagel Central 9.5 out of 10.
