“My Daughter and I love the little tea pot cafe in Lara. They are always so welcoming and all 3 play areas are so safe and secure, keeps her running around for whole time we are there. Our favourite is under the big beautiful tree with the cubby house. Food and drinks are good prices and very yummy, and my daughter loves her baby cupcake treat ☺️”
