Anyday Adventures

I love a freebie; especially when it makes my daughter happy too. I recently put out a blog piece about all the places in Melbourne where kids eat and play for free (find it here) and now I’m letting you know all the places I know of to nab a free babychino.

All of the places mentioned below will provide a free babychino when a regular coffee/hot drink is purchased. Just click on the title of each café to find out more.

Please note: This list is subject to change but it is correct at time of publishing (Sep 2017)

Chain Stores
Find these places all over the country. You’re welcome!

• Bunnings Warehouse, various locations
  Some Bunnings stores can be a goldmine for parents; play areas, free kids craft activities, on site cafes, and even free babychinos! Complete your visit with a sausage in bread! Find your closest store here
• Gloria Jeans, various locations
  This is our favourite spot for a freebie (at Cranbourne Park Shopping Centre). Always lots of marshmallows and quick service. It helps that our local shops have a play area too. Find your local store here

• The Coffee Club, various locations
  Some stores even sell their own version of reusable cups…even in babychino (espresso) size! For your local store click here
• Hudson Coffee, various locations
  With 16k likes on facebook they must be doing something right. Find your local Hudsons here

  These little bakeries are franchises, so you might find some do charge you. But fingers crossed they all agree that babychinos should be free! To find your local store click here

  It is great to have so many coffee chains helping us to save a buck but what about the little guys? Here’s a few places that some of the Anyday Adventures followers love…if you know any others please let me know at the bottom of the page.

  Fellow adventurer Mel W. reckons these free babychinos are the best out there. They come in a normal adult sized cup, full of sprinkles and marshmallows!

  Fancy food and coffee right by Eltham Station.
