What People Are Saying
from Google"This place is so clean and safe for children. I loved that the staff was so attentive at the front desk and in the play area. The cafe itself has lots of seating but it does get packed. The service is slow, but I think it’s because they are understaffed. I enjoyed my husband and I enjoyed our cookie butter lattes. Unfortunately, you cannot bring your food/drink into the play areas. My daughter mostly stayed in the toddler area and she loved it! It was very safe for her to crawl around. Kids were even respectful enough to play calmly around the babies lol. We enjoyed it here very much!"
"A Great Concept That Doesn't Quite Deliver The idea behind "Kids and Coffee" is fantastic for any parent seeking a moment of peace with a good cup of coffee while the kids burn off some energy. The first impression is positive; the establishment is wonderfully clean, and the inviting aroma of fresh coffee fills the air. The play area itself is decent and seems best suited for a younger crowd, probably ideal for children up to eight years old. However, the experience begins to fall short when you look closer. The play resources are surprisingly limited. For instance, a small play-market area was set up with nearly empty racks, which didn't hold my children's attention for long. This is where the main issue lies: the value proposition. The price of admission feels significantly overpriced for the amount of time and fun the kids actually get out of the sparse setup. For what we paid, I expected a more engaging and imaginative play experience. Adding to the slightly confused identity of the place was the menu's inclusion of mimosas and wine. It felt like an odd choice for a business with "Kids" in its name. While the space is pleasant, our family would rather spend our money at a place like Canndeeland, which offers far more entertainment for the cost. It's a nice idea in theory, but the execution and pricing miss the mark."
"Such a great space, and beautiful indoor playground for kids. It's very clean, has super fun obstacles for kids to climb and experience. Can also accommodate flexible parents if you're feeling up to the squeeze. Had a great cafe for parents to enjoy a beverage or light snack while watching there kids. Can be a great space for parties or events, and is very well rounded with great play spaces. I highly recommend it. If you're on the fence, it's worth checking out. Perfect for summer to escape the heat as well."
"My family had a great time at this indoor playground. We had a 2 hour reservation during the weekend and had enough time to eat and play. The space was fun, safe, and clean. There were slides, a ball pit, a trampoline, a play/pretend area, and structures for the kids to explore. The cafe had great snack and drink options. We look forward to our next visit."
"We absolutely loved this indoor play space! My kids (ages 2 and 4) had a blast jumping, swimming in the ball pit, sliding, climbing, and even “cooking” in the play kitchen. The whole place felt clean and well-maintained, and it wasn’t overly crowded for a Saturday, which was a huge plus. They were already asking to come back before we left! The aesthetic is beautiful, the soft play equipment is great quality, and the layout has a nice flow that makes it easy to keep an eye on the little ones. The café area was spacious and cozy with plenty of comfortable seating. I tried the mocha coffee and it was tasty, no complaints there, we also purchased pastry and ham and cheese pocket. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the food policy. Outside snacks aren’t allowed, and while they do sell some items, I noticed a few were the same products from big box stores marked up quite a bit. I’d love if they allowed us to bring our own snacks, especially since my kids have sensitivities to certain ingredients. Overall, such a wonderful spot for kids to play."
