Shakespeare and Company (with baby)
How Baby-Friendly is Shakespeare and Company?
What makes it 30% Baby-Friendly: Babies are allowed but space is cramped, no changing table, no high chairs and staff may ask you to fold or park the stroller outside, so parents will struggle to stay long or meet basic care needs.
Positives:
- Easy Ground-Floor Access: The ground floor and café are wheelchair and stroller accessible. Use this level to browse with your baby.
- Short Stop for Littles: A 30-60 minute visit matches most babies’ schedules.
Challenges:
- No Changing Facilities: No baby-changing station on site; bring a portable mat and plan to change off-site.
- Stroller Restrictions: Store aisles are very narrow. Fold your stroller and use a baby carrier.
- Limited Seating: Café has few seats and fills quickly at peak times.
