Sweet Pea Café & Playhouse

This place is great. We came on a Friday afternoon for my son’s second birthday and it wasn’t busy. He had a blast and the food was really good.

We had a really wonderful morning at Sweet Pea Cafe & Playhouse! This is such a great concept for parents in Edmonton. The food and drinks were delicious – my tea was perfect, and the muffins were fresh and tasty. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which always makes an experience better.

The play area is fantastic and kept the kids entertained for the time of our visit. I did notice, however, that the baby toy section could use a good deep clean. The bigger play structures seemed fine, but the smaller, chewable toys for babies were looking a bit grubby.

Overall, we had a great time and will definitely be back. I'm confident that this fantastic little spot is just one deep clean away from being absolutely perfect!

This is an excellent place to go if you have young children, but you want to visit with an adult over coffee and a meal.

Overall, we enjoyed our time there, but I was disappointed to see that the children’s costumes were very dirty and in poor condition — it seems like they have never been washed. It would be great if they could clean them to make the experience even better.

This little spot was great! The girls were all very kind and the food was SO amazing!! We will 100% go back to the spot when we go back to Edmonton. 10/10

Well executed concept and such a welcome alternative to bigger and way more hectic indoor playgrounds.

The food was amazing. I didn't realize a gluten free black bean brownie and a tofu-filled spanakopita could taste so good.

Kids enjoyed themselves and I drop the service rating by one star only because my eldest noted dust in the corners of the small play shops... But honestly, compared to other play spaces, this cafe is a gem and I will happily return!

Yes it really is a Sweet place.
It is quiet and we got to sit outside and enjoy being able to talk easily.
Food is very very yummy and it's tastes like homemade..
Variety is limited, but the quality is there.
Yes to being Vegan.

I do not recommend this cafe for visiting. The rules of the cafe state that you can only be inside in socks, although the staff moves around in ordinary dirty street shoes. The water offered to the visitor is not filtered, but ordinary from the tap of the city water supply. You can zoom in on the photo and see how clean the container is that contains the water. Aso have doubts that everything inside is safe for children. In my opinion, the toilet needs a general cleaning...
And I am deeply convinced that in a children's institution, when making cakes, you need to use less aggressive paint, which is difficult to wash off even from tooth enamel.

Overcrowded, the playhouses were kinda clean but the toys in them were filthy. The parents did not supervise their kids my boy got 2 toys thrown at his face and another crushed his toe. I was the only parent engaging and supervising. We waited so long at the cafe for food, even though there was only 2 other tables. The girl at the front till was just miserable, rolling her eyes and sighing, maybe a long day but still not a friendy atmosphere, it was all just a mediocre experience at best. Food was just okay.

I've been coming to this place for over a year now and love the welcoming atmosphere that both the food and the staff create. It's a place I can joke and laugh with the staff, have heart felt conversations and watch a wonderful small business grow.

Its a challenge to align with a shift in business for the customers and staff. The Sweet Pea is doing a excellent job at navigating this and will always have the support of TIER Management and team as customers.

Thank you for working hard to provide a space family and friends can enjoy together!!

Very Rude.

Cashier that served us did not care and did not seem like they wanted us there, kept sighing and eye rolling while I was ordering?. I was very confused. Just dropped the plate on our table too, a part of the plate was even hanging off the table. Seeing other reviews, I realize now that they did that because of our skin color. Absolutely disgusting. Too bad because the play house is great, but I won’t be coming back there again nor will I recommend people to go there. Should’ve given the parents heads up that the roads were closed too.

This isn't a vegan cafe. They decided, despite massive existing clients backlash, to harm animals for profit.

Place looks amazing but Katie would be a liability to your business and needs customer service and communication training. We were really excited to visit Sweet Pea Café and Playhouse after seeing it featured on TikTok. We drove 2 hours and 39 minutes with our family, only to be turned away at the door due to a private event. While we understand that events happen, it was incredibly disappointing to be spoken to the way we were.

An employee named Katie informed us that they couldn’t accommodate us because of a party of 30+ guests. Fair enough—but instead of kindly explaining, she chose to “educate” us with a condescending tone, saying things like “With a 2 hour and 39-minute drive, you should have checked first,” as if we were at fault for trusting that the business was open based on Google’s listing.

We would have simply left and understood the situation, but the delivery of the message felt more like blame than customer service. A little empathy goes a long way, especially when dealing with families who go out of their way to support small businesses. Unfortunately, this interaction left a sour taste. Hoping for more compassion next time.

Very cute for little ones. Meal was what kids would like as well. Simple and tasty. Great coffee here.
