Sweet Pea Café & Playhouse

We live out of town and come here when in edmonton. I knew it was fully vegan from before and didn't check. it was really good as usual. There's vegan magazines all around. I just realized they serve Dairy because I was looking for other vegan places and saw that sweet pea wasn't showing. I'm not sure if they only have Dairy beverage options and the dips that would traditionally have Dairy haven't changed from being vegan, the menu doesn't specify. It's a good place but I don't think I'll want to be there again, I looked on their website and it didn't say whether they were vegan or not, I think they should adjust that for the clients who don't notice the Instagram post they made saying they are serving Dairy. I remember coming with my aunt, she only drank Dairy but tried coconut because it was a vegan place, and she liked it. I get that some people may not like the options or be allergic, but accommodating Dairy is eliminating customers with severe Dairy allergies, and some vegans who prefer places that don't support Dairy. I like fully Vegan places. I'm sensitive and sometimes watching people eat animal products makes me cry thinking of the animals. At a vegan restaurant I don't worry about animals. I still think the food is good, my grandma has eaten here and liked it, my dad, my brother, they aren't vegan but somehow agreed to try it and enjoyed it, they don't even complain if I suggest sweet pea's. lovely staff. I know people asked for a Dairy beverage option they may have an allergy to soy, oat, coconut, and almond, though cross contamination can still arise between Dairy and those. I think this is mostly for individuals who prefer dairy. Im glad Moth Cafe is vegan and clearly labeled on each menu

They have added dairy into their menu. Their post announcing it was in poor taste (“EXCITING news”) and they have been dismissive of criticism. Clearly a profit driven move on the new owners part.

like a cozy cabin off a beaten path, mysterious perhaps, somewhat timeless, its friendly staff is there for you, so see you there!

Absolutely adorable and clean and fun for our 4yr old. The café is very good too, I'm not even a vegan or vegetarian or whatever and the food is delicious. I love this place.

I attended an event here with Dan King medium extraordinaire. It ran well over the allotted time and the owners were accommodating so that all were able to receive they're readings. I'd never been there before but the food they sell appears to be heavenly (smelled wonderful) and the various decor throughout was colorful, clean and totally orientated to families with young children. If you're looking to hold a celebration for one of your kids or just want to socialize with other families I strongly recommend you check them out! I think you'll really enjoy yourself and your kid's will have a blast! Thank you for accommodating Dan King and all of us there to hear him, share his gift of tapping into the Spirit World on his Soulgasm tour. ???

The setup is nice, very clean but limited options when it comes to food, plant based only? The lattes are terrible with non dairy “milk”. Scones are $6, expensive and I don’t understand why adults PAY to enter the playhouse, also the cafe seating area at the back needs love and care, feels so cold, cheaply furnished and not cozy at all.
The staff is very friendly and accommodating.

Fantastic place! It’s dairy free and they have gluten free as well. Delicious coffee flavours and the baking is so good!! The cinnamon buns and cupcakes are wonderful!

Cute kid friendly cafe with an adorable play area next door that can be rented for parties and events.

The vegan sausage roll is so dang good. I like it more than most meat sausage rolls.

when i walked in i thought i was going to really like this place. the kids that were there were pretty whiny and didnt want to share any of the toys. i didnt like all the vegan food options they didnt sound appetizing. and i also dont understand why they charge for adults. my son is 18 months and maybe i will come back in a year or two but we wasted money since he wanted to leave after 20 minutes

I was googling to find a restaurant near the zoo and this place seemed perfect for my 5 year old granddaughter and I. It truly is a gem. She loved playing in the little city and I loved the meaningful west end names as this is where I grew up. The vegan food was so delicious. I had the Buddha bowl - very fresh and the homemade dressing was very tasty. My granddaughter had the grill cheese and had no idea it was not regular cheese. This is a wonderful place to take young children and have healthy food.

Love this place! They have certain times for play so we had to wait 30 min as we didn't know that but the staff was super sweet, the food was delicious! Had their daily soup and some snacks, it was awesome. My toddler loved playing in the vet clinic and the school house. It was a fun experience.

Recommend taking younger kids, my son is 3 and loved it!

I brought my nine month old here today for the first time. It was super cute, clean, and had lots to do. We didn't check out the Cafe but will in the future. The only thing I didn't like is how small it was for the amount of people there, and how many children can up to my baby to grab things out of her hands, ran her over with a shopping cart or pushed her out of the way. Parents either watched and did nothing or were in the Cafe not checking in. Only one parent came up to their child to redirect them. We only stayed half an hour as it became too much. I get its expected to a degree. We will be returning in the future when she's a bit older. Besides those little incidents we had a great time trying something new ?

The children????I nanny love it here!! Great vegan staff!! Loooooved the cheezy pasta? ??

Amazing place! I love taking my two toddlers here. Great food and great staff.
