What parents highlight
“It felt like every 5–10 minutes an employee was in the play area sanitizing toys and tidying up, making sure everything was clean and organized for the next child to enjoy.”
“Whether you’re looking to socialize, get some energy out, or just have a reason to get out of the house (guilty), Cafe&Play is parent and toddler approved in our book!”
“We had my daughter’s 3rd birthday party here and it was fabulous!”
“The space is really cute and inviting, and the staff were friendly and welcoming, which I appreciated.”
“The play area is clean, well-organized, and perfect for little ones to explore safely, while parents can actually relax and enjoy a good coffee.”
What parents say
I think the place is a great idea. However, they are new and I hope they work out some kinks. For example, the website is misleading in my opinion where I assumed the play block of 2 hours was capped at a certain amount of people. I was very wrong about that.
I recently visited this play café and overall had a decent experience. The space is really cute and inviting, and the staff were friendly and welcoming, which I appreciated. That said, for $15, I was hoping for a bit more upkeep.
A Parent's Dream Come True!!!!! Cafe and Play is EXACTLY what every parent wishes for as their little ones are growing up. It's such a rare find a place where parents can actually relax, enjoy delicious snacks and coffee, and connect with other parents while the kids play safely nearby.
We had my daughter’s 3rd birthday party here and it was fabulous! The owner called a week ahead and asked what theme we were doing and if we needed any help. The day of the party they were so kind and helpful with setting up and cleaning up. They made sure we had everything we needed and the kids had an absolute blast!
