This place is a gem and an absolute lifesaver for rainy days with kids. Drinks are reasonably priced, the play place is awesome and clean given the amount of kids that use it. It’s nice to have an independent small business in the neighborhood, and the staff is super friendly. Highly recommend.

I really like this place as it's close to us and my daughter TRULY has a great time at the playroom. I've tried the coffee almost everytime but it lacks of flavor, so not my favorite.In the other hand UNFORTUNATELY I've noticed that the kids's play area doesn't get cleaned properly nor often as it should.!I had seen balls of hair and dust underneath the structures and thinking of it beign a place where kids are around, you'd expect it to be truly neat. I've never seen somebody cleaning or sanitizing it during the day, and it's necessary for the health safety of the kids.I'm truly disappointed since every time I take my daughters over they get sick.! Every single time.! At first we attributed it to other factors but it can't be a coincide that only when we go to this play space they do.I had given it many chances but I have to prioritize my daughters's well being over everything, so I won't be coming back.

This place is amazing! Great play area for my 2.5 year old! Everything is so well thought out and very intentional. Nursing chairs for mothers, cute ice packs for if kids get hurt, to-go thermoses for all the tea/coffee, and reasonably priced everything. Truly family friendly in a city where that’s not super common and price gouging is the norm!!

Really want to like this place - it’s nearby and the drinks are great. But there’s a weird energy about the place - kinda hard to describe. I guess I’ll leave it at unwelcoming. And the play area is a bit dirty (I’m looking at you, blocks). Probably won’t give it another

First time here excited to try it out! Had the Huntara latte w oat milk (amazing), turkey sandwich (warm and tasty) and the spinach croissant (also good). Now the play area.. seemed a little dirty- I wouldn’t let my small children play on the floor. Tables had old plates of food and cups left behind that weren’t picked up. My kids are older so they played in the big playground area. They had a lot of fun! Towards the end 1:30ish we were already putting on our jackets and our shoes and this employee came over very rude telling us to finish up because she has to clean this area for a party.. the way she said it was so rude that we (the adults) looked at each other surprised at her attutude! seeing we are at a child friendly place. she looked very annoyed and ruined our experience. Im not sure if we will be back.

A delightful place to gather with neighbors and watch our kids play. The coffee and sandwich options are awesome and they serve them in comfy tumblers so you can sip your latte while watching your toddler. Make sure to reserve in advance when heading here on weekends or days that CPS is closed.Kid-friendliness: Optimal toddler hangout on rainy days
We were there for a kids birthday party, and it worked out great! I hear it can get busy during the weekends but the space was fun and clean, and the slides were fast.

First time here was a great service very polite man came in for a second time today a lady behind the register was very rude due to the fact I came in with a drink from outside remind you my kids only had an hour to play so it was very unexpected to stop in very bad service the lady threw my change back at me and started giving dirty looks the whole hour I was there never again I kept my kids there cause I already had paid but never again in which there is no sign, stating that we couldn’t bring outside drinks very rude very unprofessional very racist in which they also have playtime for kids so really wasn’t there for the coffee more for the kids to play I paid for what I was there for if u were so bothered u should have put the signs up

Older lady (brunette with glasses) was extremly rude, unprofessional, and arrogant. Worst service ever experienced from someone who works in the service field. I will not be back. Coffee was also mid.

What a fantastic option to take kids to play. $5 for open play then they serve food and drinks as well! Great place for a rainy day and it wasn't even overly crowded!
