Nestled between the Connecticut River and the White Mountains, Littleton is a great community of about 5,900 residents who treasure their town's history as much as they look to its vibrant future. Honored with the sixth best small-town downtown in America award from Best Choice Reviews, Littleton features a walkable downtown with plenty of restaurants and shops—including the famous Chutter's, home of the longest candy counter in the world. Chutter's sets the tone for kid-friendly Littleton restaurants that make a special effort to appeal to children. Put these kid-pleasing restaurants on your list of go-to places in Littleton, and be sure to schedule a visit to all 112 feet of Chutter's candy counter for dessert.  

The Beal House

Everyone in the family will love the carriage house decor of this family restaurant and rooming house. Kids will enjoy favorites like fried chicken, a burger and fries, and mac and cheese followed by a cookie or a blondie.  Chef/owner Adam Alderin is always happy to come up with special kid fare.

The Coffee Pot

Locals love The Coffee Pot, which has been a community mainstay for more than 30 years. Breakfast is all day every day, as are the welcoming smiles of the staff. The Coffee Pot offers plenty of kid-friendly options: breakfast on a bun, pancakes in several flavors, bagels with peanut butter or cream cheese, New England baked beans and franks, grilled cheese sandwiches, and brownie sundaes.

Miller's Café and Bakery

Free wi-fi, kids' sandwiches, and some of the best panini and soups in the area put Miller's Café and Bakery at the top of the list for many families in Littleton. Another key reason why families love Miller's Café and Bakery? It's their famous Yankee Flip pot roast sandwich, winner of Food Network's 50 Best Sandwiches in the USA.  

Schilling Beer Company

We included Schilling on this list because parents love their craft beers and kids love their wood-fired pizzas and outdoor deck. Add in a setting on the banks of the Ammonoosuc River and you have all the ingredients for a family outing worth repeating again and again.

Topic of the Town

Operated by Denny and Dot Fekay for more than two decades and now run by their daughter, Ashlea Miller, Topic of the Town is a fixture on Littleton's Main Street. For kids under 12, there's a selection of choices for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. What really makes the Topic of the Town special, however, is the family atmosphere and the homemade desserts. We can help you discover why Littleton real estate has a special appeal to people looking for the best in New Hampshire living. We'd love to hear from you!
