What parents say

I hosted my kiddos 4th birthday party here. The owner was very accommodating, we were able to come in a little early and set up. The play space is contained for the kiddos- with something for every kid.

We are emporia locals and finally got a chance to visit! Oh my goodness. We were blown away from the hospitality the moment we walked in. It’s so nice to go to a kid friendly place and not be afraid of them getting into something. Kid friendly bathrooms were a plus.

We love New Day Play Cafe! My kids enjoy playing and getting healthy treats while I relax with great coffee and good company. The atmosphere is cozy, the staff is friendly, and the coffee is top-notch — a perfect spot for both kids and parents!
