OUR STORY

Welcome to D.O.N Café, a family-run café and soft play destination located in the heart of Wickford at The Willows Shopping Centre. Created by Chef Uri and his wife Tesa, D.O.N Café is more than just a place to eat. It’s a thoughtfully designed space where great food meets family-friendly fun, making it a warm and welcoming spot for parents and children alike.

​

The name “D.O.N” pays tribute to the couple’s children, whose initials reflect the café’s strong family values. Formerly known as Little Beans Café, the venue has been lovingly reimagined into a vibrant hub where families can unwind, eat well, and enjoy quality time together.

​

Our upstairs soft play area offers a safe, engaging space for young children to explore, climb, slide, and make friends, while parents relax with a coffee or freshly prepared meal downstairs. Whether you're visiting for a mid-morning break or a lunchtime treat, D.O.N Café is a place where everyone feels at home.

​

Our menu features a delicious mix of Mediterranean and traditional English dishes, with breakfast favourites like shakshuka, smoked salmon scrambled eggs, and the classic Full English. Lunchtime offers hearty options such as homemade burgers, lasagne, vegetarian wraps, and comforting classics. A dedicated kids’ menu ensures little ones are well fed too.

​

Open Monday to Saturday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, we welcome walk-ins, playdates, and casual diners.
