This past weekend was my 3rd time hosting a birthday party at Scout: Coffee + Community. Katrina and her staff were once again wonderful and accommodating from beginning to end. The entire process was very easy and efficient. Other than coordinating entertainment and food, I didn't really have to do anything else. The cost to rent the space is very reasonable and you can bring your own food and drinks. The kids had a great time, and the parents were able to chat and enjoy their coffee/tea while the kids were playing. Overall, I highly recommend Scout as a venue for parties.

What a not-so-hidden gem! Awesome new location, first time at Scout, hosted a private event and had a great time. It's wide open space, full coffee and tea bar. Couple dainties there for your sweet tooth, if I'm being honest - they let us bring some of our own snacks too. Pretty cool! We all will return for future meet up's with the team. Cheers Scout!

I love ordering the vegan blt and enjoying meeting other parents while our kids play. Such a unique and great place.One time we arrived and there was a class going on so we were a little disappointed we hadn’t checked ahead - but there was still room to sit and wait for it to end and the staff were so great, wish they still had a location near me - but worth the drive across the city!

If ever you have the opportunity to enjoy this lovely place, do it, don't hesitate. The atmosphere, the treats, the drinks, and the owner are all amazing. I have never had a negative experience, my only wish is that there was one closer (I'm in California so might have to wait a bit on that one! ?) The seasonal drinks are fantastic, the party options for your littles are awesome (Spiderman *and* Elsa? My little dude was beside himself) and the welcoming support I've always felt as a parent are truly behind compare. I came for the babywearing and stayed because everything about this cheerful bit of awesomeness is worth it. Oh and if you're looking for a doula, I've heard wonderful things about the owner on that front as well ?Long and short of it: If ever you're nearby, go, you'll love it!

Great teamwork from the staff to make sure the community is always known of what’s going on. The staff make sure you feel welcome and like you are in a safe place not only for you but for your child as well. When I lived on Edison ave I would take my dog with me and they always provided a water bowl for him. I loved going there as it was an easy walk for me to handle. I’d love to live back in that area to be able to go back to scout. I also know they do a lot of stuff with Heathers Pretty Parties so that makes it an even cooler place to go to with kids! I can’t wait to be able to take my niece there!

We hosted a 2nd birthday party at Scout and had an incredible time. The staff were super helpful and attentive with set up (even helping retrieve a lost balloon). You can bring in food and drinks for your guests, but almost everyone enjoyed a coffee from the cafe as well. We opted to rent the large bounce house and would highly recommend. The kids had a blast. Would definitely book again and recommend everyone else do the same.
Closed on a Saturday for a private event but the website didn’t mention it (at least from what I saw) and their open sign was onJust be careful what time you choose to go, and I guess always call before deciding to visit this coffee shop

The seasonal lattes are my favorite, and my toddler loves ordering a purple smoothie. The play space is great for babies and toddlers. It's always a friendly atmosphere.

Had a pleasant coffee date with my husband this Sunday afternoon. Seems oriented for parents with young kids but we still had a nice time. It's a good space: easy big parking lot in front, windows let in lots of light, there's kids playing quietly on the other end. They don't serve their famous vegan mini donuts any more ? But the staff let me know of their other baked goods and ice cream that are vegan. They also have lots of milk alternatives: oat, almond, soy, coconut, cashew.

The owner is rude. I was there last year in March. It was a photo shoot day (only found that out after the photographer started snapping photos of my son and I, without asking for consent might I add) I asked the photographer if theyd b posted on social media, she said yes, so I asked her not to post them for privacy reasons, but that I'd love to have them, she redirected me to the owner to ask her, I did so, she said absolutely - that she would send me the file of the photos taken that day to my email once she recieves it and I said I'd message her on Ig abt it with my email. I send her the msg, and she tells me that the photographer hadnt sent them yet, but once she recieves them she will let me know. Months pass, and I ask about the photos - her response? The photos were deleted by the photographer as they were "unusable". Even though I had her word she would contact me once she recieved them.. I reminded her that I asked her in her cafe about sending them, and also sent a msg on her Ig page days later about it, and that she said she'd definitely send them, only to have her once again say they're "unusable". Unusable for what? Her social media page? Which are staged for her page btw. Most birthday parties pictured aren't real, atleast the one happening when we were there was not.Instead of her apologizing for deleting the pictures which she promised to send to me, she was rude, snarky and sarcastic, replying to me when I said " Well, too late" with "Yup, too late now?♀️"Knowing I wanted them sent, along with the photographer knowing as well, she could've simply communicated to her photographer "Hey, one of my customers in on the last photoshoot day wants the pictures sent to her, so don't delete any photos" instead she gives her the OK to delete the "unusable photos" knowing she told me numerous times before she'd keep and send them to me?Awful attitude, awful professionalism, and awful customer service.RESPONSE TO OWNERS REPLY: You still fail to address the part that u literally told me u would send the photos to me once u recieved them. Why do u keep stressing the photos were unusable and thus deleted. The point is: u TOLD me that u WILL send them to me. Why didn't that happen? u can't answer this. It does not matter if it's "almost been a year"Life happens, ppl go through things, forget then remember just as I did, when I remembered to enquire about the photos- just to be told they were deleted even though u told me you'd send them.Also, I 100% did NOT enter ur establishment when closed. Why on earth would I walk in somewhere if it's closed? I have pictures with timestamps of that day I was there with my son, which proves that I was there during open hrs, atleast 45 minutes - 1 hr before close. As it approached closing, there were people coming in and I was confused as I know it was soon time to close so I asked u about the hours, to know if we should leave, and u did not give a clear answer at all about the hours and told me it's ok to stay, that ur open later as it's "photoshoot day" I also called numerous times on more than one occasion with no answer to ask if there is open play as I checked ur Fb, site, qthere was nothing stating it was closed for a party, just to arrive, and being turned away. Another time i showed up in the rain, just to meet one of your employees outside of the door locking up early and saying "sorry" before running to their car, with no notice of any early close on social media. Also, I did purchase items before from 2 ladies you seem to have employed. After you msged me on Ig after my review telling me how I'm being ridiculous I told u not to contact me but u still did, so I told u for the last time what u cant seem to understand - u gave your word to someone and did not follow throught then when called out on it u act very disrespectful and rude.Ur replies to your low ratings on here are telling of ur character and how
