café for parents 10 mentions

“It's the best of both worlds, you get a latte (or a heart attack in a cup as Josie calls my 4 shots on ice 🤣) and the kids get to play.”

What parents say

The Playland Pals has been our absolute saving grace. My toddler could show up every day (& he just about has, thanks to the super affordable membership) and never get bored. It is more Montessori style play, so there are many different toys and activities to peak his imagination.

Drove from Cookeville to visit this spot today after seeing a Facebook ad and I was so impressed! I live for places like this to take my littles and sometimes I have to drive super far for them. Only 30 minutes away to get to a place this well done is soooo worth it.

★★★★★ — Anna, May 2025

This place is so cute and so much fun! It is super clean, and has the best coffee too! We have our membership and we will be having lots of play dates here! I also love the lounge area and desk area for moms/dads/etc to come in and work on their computers while the kiddos play! Highly Recommend!! 10 stars!

★★★★★ — Stephanie, May 2025

We had our daughter’s 2nd birthday party here and it was more than incredible. The kids loved it, parents too! The space is perfect for kiddos to play, make friends, and tire them out for a good nap. We can’t recommend enough & can’t wait to come back!!
