Inspired Play Cafe LLC

We’ve been to the OP location several times now and we LOVE this place. Perfect for 18mo- 4ish years I’d say. My 2yo plays endlessly here. Toys are great quality and more Montessori based. (Wooden, no noisy annoying toys). Also a craft station that’s popular with my little. Great for getting out of the house for a couple hours. The fancy coffee is a bonus!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Inspired Play Cafe!! We have been going for a couple years now and it's truly been a blessing to our family in helping to juggle work and our family. Bianca and her staff are the most wonderful, kind people. We always feel at home when we walk in the door. My girls frequently ask to play here and have continued to find activities that hold their interest even as they grow.

I’ve had several birthday parties here for my girls and never leave unsatisfied. Staff is super helpful and professional. I didn’t have to lift a finger and was able to enjoy my baby’s special day. I gave them the vision and they executed it. The owner is a friend of mine and has been in me and my daughter’s life for several years now. She’s one of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet. Will continue to recommend this place to everyone.

We came here today and had a great time! Was a wonderful Winter activity for our children. We had a coffee and were able to sit + talk while we watched our kids play, highly recommend!

This place is great, very clean and organized, great food and drinks for kids and adults!

Our family has enjoyed Inspired Play Cafe since it’s opening. Bianca and her staff are extremely kind and you can tell they really care about children, families, and building community. It is a great spot for families to connect with others and have a safe place for kids to play. We love IPC!

I found inspired play through a friend that had her daughters birthday party there . I had a 6 month daughter of my own and was on maternity leave. I loved how Bianca offered different activities through the week such as story times, music and hands on activities I thought it would be perfect for my stay at home husband to be able to take our daughter to! . She loved playing there and interacting with other children. I loved being able taking my child to a space that I rarely said the word no, this is a safe space where she could play with anything and everything. Inspired play even had a little area for the smaller babies but was not just excited to them I have always experienced a friendly atmosphere while being there and have loved getting to know Bianca. I can see the love she has for her family and for each person that walks through her doors. My daughter ventured behind the counter one time and she was met with a huge smile warm embrace and to acknowledge her curiosity . We love inspired play and have loved introducing many of my friends to this awesome place!

Inspired play is amazing! It’s fun, entertaining and clean! As a nanny my kiddo LOVES playing here! Bianca and her staff are so incredibly kind and helpful and always cheerful! We are here at least once a week if not more! We really encourage you to bring your kiddos here to play while you enjoy coffee or some down time with your mommy and or nanny friends while the kids play in a fun and safe learning environment!!

We had an event for our baby's birthday at this place. We faced some challenges and at the end of the party my wife expressed her dissatisfaction and the owner reached out the following day to clarify and ensure we were satisfied. She also apologized for all the inconveniences and expressed regrets for their actions. Despite all the misunderstandings and challenges, I believe they (owner and employees) are not racist, a term that sometimes is misused whenever there's any disagreement between people of different race.

I have never been so disrespected in my life. I just wanted to come in to celebrate a birthday and these people are so rude. The white young lady who worked with us was so demeaning, her name is Sara she didn’t look happy the whole time we were there. They overcharge for each guest we had even though they’re not playing, just sitting. Place was not ready when we came in, we had to help them move tables. When I booked I had questions but they were rude over phone and unhelpful. They said they don’t have time to help us and to just look online. I won’t ever come back. Rude and racist owner and worker. No respect!!

As a former member of IP for almost 1.5 years and a big supporter of small businesses, I thought long and hard before I posted this review.

The Good
My son, almost 3, and I had generally positive experiences here; it cultivated a strong sense of community and I met many like minded parents that I'm grateful to call friends today. We looked forward to our weekly trip; parenting young children can be an isolating adventure and it helped to be around folks experiencing the same.

The Questionable
The business practices always low-level bothered me from the barring of any outside food + drink (as the full experience - $19 / play period + various snacks - is not cheap), the occasional annoyance of having to pick up after people who lack awareness / didn't follow the rules (you're expected to clean up the space at the end of a play period), and the owner's faith-based approach.

The Bad
I overlooked these things above as we always had a great time ... although it would really bother me that the owner preached her strong Christian values on social media / their website, but would sometimes make snarky comments about other customers behind their back in my presence, play worship music over the loudspeakers which made some other people uncomfortable, etc.

I also noticed that the owner seemed to lack accountability; some of these are noted in other reviews. As for my personal experience, here are two examples:

1) I tried to purchase a 5-pack punch card during their Black Friday sale (i.e. $5 off) and ended up paying full price because of a glitch on their website. When I brought it up to the owner, no apology or discussion of credit, etc. No big deal, it's $5, but if I were a business owner, I would have refunded / credited a longtime customer the difference.

2) I signed up for a play period on 12/14/24 from 8-10AM @ 7:55AM. In doing so, I didn't realize that there was a special Grinch event going on which required a separate ticket. When I got there, I was almost denied entry even though their website allowed me to sign up and stated that there was still room for 2 more.

When I pushed back, I was told that it was all over their website which, yes, I missed, but my bigger issue was the lack of accountability for their unrefined system and how it still allowed me to sign in. (Apparently they reached out to everyone else who did the same but because I signed up late, they didn't. FYI - the owner has my cell and has texted me before so unsure why today was different). Ultimately, I would have been fine with a simple sorry, but instead I got an earful and discounted rate to come in (on top of using my punch card) which I agreed to pay because I thought I was doing the right thing. Quite frankly, I also didn't want to deal with finding another place for my kid to play as we were already running behind.

However, as I reflected, I got angry. Angry enough to forfeit what's leftover in my punch card and write this review since I believe people / businesses should be held accountable for their actions and I don't want to invest / support in one that doesn't. I especially believe this to be true when they hold themselves to a much higher moral ground.

So, 3 stars for a generally pleasant experience as long as the day is uneventful.

We celebrated our daughter's 1st birthday at Inspired Play Cafe and had a wonderful party! The staff was like a well oiled machine. We were a little tight on time setting up, and could not have gotten it together without all the help from the staff. The kids had so much fun! I was very impressed with the space and how it appealed to every age range. Definitely recommend for birthday parties and play time!

I started taking my 11 month old here the last couple weeks, and we've gone almost everyday since!
My daughter is super mobile, but still in that baby phase, where it's hard to take her to playgrounds without her eating rocks and mulch lol
This place is perfect for her. She absolutely loves it!
It's so nice to not have to worry about her injuring herself or eating something she shouldn't!
She also gets to socialize!
The place is always clean. And all the toys are Montessori based, which is awesome.
All the kids and parents that we've met there have been great too.

Great place for kids on a rainy day. Endless fun for little people.
