Café Au Plait

I don’t understand the good reviews? My friend and I took our almost 2 year old daughters here to get out of the heat and grab a nice coffee. My friends latte was lukewarm and the barista only offered to add hot milk versus remake it when she told her. How do you even make a lukewarm latte?

The play area had some wooden kitchen, laundry and tool bench areas but there were no toys to go with them—what are they supposed to do other than open and close the wooden fridge door? No pretend food, tools, etc. completely barren. There were about 8 bins of random wooden blocks and magnatiles, all completely beat up and dirty. Not even our 2 toddlers could find anything to entertain themselves. They looked at us like “why are we here?” So we left and went to a nearby park.

This place is a dream for anyone with young kids! Good vibes, great music, welcoming service, and awesome play area for kids. The fact that the entertainment zone (with a large selection of toys) comes FREE with your order is truly a gift to the community. Thank you 🙏🏼

Café au Plait is a delightful play café that’s truly a hidden gem for families. The atmosphere is incredibly warm and inviting, making it a fantastic spot to bring kids. Not only do they offer great drinks for parents and reasonably priced snacks for children, but the staff are also lovely and provide excellent service . This creates an easy going environment where parents can comfortably get some work done while their little ones play. It’s a truly fabulous café with a wonderful ambience for families, offering a perfect blend of fun for kids and relaxation for adults.

Wow what a cutie little find!! Delicious latte, cute little kid cup drinks and lots of snacks and small bites options. Genius concept. Very friendly staff, very clean, my only complaint is that they don’t have one in Tucson where we live :) can’t wait to come back!

This is a cute place to celebrate a Child's Birthday.

I was really looking forward to trying this place, and I have to say, the overall vibe of the place was fantastic. It has such an amazing atmosphere, making it a great spot for parents looking to catch up with friends or just enjoy a quiet moment with a good cup of coffee. However, my experience with the service unfortunately didn’t match the ambiance.

When I first arrived, I was meeting a friend and didn’t order right away. When I let the barista know, she simply stared at me for a while before slamming her hands on the counter and saying, “Well, let me know when you’re ready.” It was uncomfortable and unwelcoming.

When I did place my order, I asked for a recommendation, hoping to get some insight on what they do best, but the response was completely disinterested and dismissive. It felt like the employee had no interest in engaging or helping customers. On top of that, she spent a significant amount of time on her phone behind the counter, despite a sign directly behind her listing tasks to complete when there were no orders.

It’s disappointing because this coffee shop has so much potential—the space itself is beautiful and clearly well thought out. I truly hope this was just an off day because I’d love to come back and enjoy the space with better service!

Great place to have a good cup of coffee.

I had a wonderful experience here as a first time customer. The person behind the counter “Zachary” was very helpful in my drink and food selection. I ended up with a cinnamon roll coffee which tasted amazing. Overall I will be back again!

It's a good place to go with babies and toddlers. They have a Good croissant ? and coffee. They close at noon.

This is an amazing concept, but the toys looked dirty- I'm not sure if they have a cleaning protocol in place. It was crowded when I went, and there was a child loudly banging on toys whose mother rarely checked him.

Not dog friendly nor are they people friendly. Also, the French aren’t known for coffee. They are, however, known for rudeness.
