Mumma review
Relaxed and laid back, this place has an eclectic mix of antiques and quirky niknaks in a rustic setting, giving it a unique ambience. The coffee I had was just what I needed - a flat white which was nice and smooth.
Off from the main dining area there are several smaller rooms which are great for mums with bubs to hang out in peace without feeling like you are disturbing anyone (or for the general public to hide from us perhaps?!) For this reason Brookfield is great for mums groups. The smaller rooms generally have couches and seats around a rug which is good for non-mobile babies who are happy to roll around on the floor (make sure you bring a picnic blanket to lie over the top of their rug; it looks like its been a while since the rugs have had a good clean). However, once the bubs are on the move this place is a mine field of side tables, lamps, and niknaks, all very appealing to a curious tot.
There’s heaps of room to park lots of prams if you would rather keep them off the floor, and there are also a couple of highchairs to keep toddlers tamed. Overall Brookfield is a quiet, cosy place to spend an afternoon over a good cup of coffee
