Please visit the play cafe!!! We were welcomed by Emma, the dog greeter. She’s so friendly. She loves to get along with people. She was super excited to greet people with her wagging tail. I love her! My friend and I went yesterday, had some drinks and the drinks were good! Owner even offered us a free drink. It was a 5-star experience for me. ⭐

Really good belgium mocha frappe, and the playground is pretty big. There's a selection of board games as well and the staff is very friendly and nice.

Great spot for toddlers and new walkers. It isn't a big space but surprisingly has lots to do. The tables are very close to the play areas so you can sip coffee and watch your kids closely. The worker/owner was very nice. They also have a loyalty program. We will be coming back for sure!

Excellent place to meet. A friend for coffee with your kids... They will be busy playing while you're chatting

Actually came to get my car cleaned and was told there’s a new café nearby — so I popped in for a coffee. (They’ve probably just opened, as they were still doing some cleaning.) It’s a small, cozy café — perfect for moms with toddlers. There’s a cute indoor play area with a ball pit and even a super friendly little dog who’ll keep you company Didn’t get a chance to try the food this time, but I’ll definitely stop by soon — the machine coffee was quite good! The only thing that put me off a little was that the owners (a husband–wife duo) were chatting on speaker phone about personal things like “did you lock the house” or “make tea.” Since I could understand everything, it felt a bit awkward and unprofessional. While it’s nice to be friendly and casual, cafés also need a touch of hospitality polish — that little “café vibe” was missing. Still, it’s a promising place with good potential, and I’m sure the owners will notice and improve with time. Would love to visit again once they find that perfect balance between friendly and professional .

This is under new ownership, offering really nice food and drink options. As someone who lives in this community, I truly believe we should all make an effort to support one another, especially when young and passionate people are trying to build something of their own. Starting a business isn’t easy. It takes countless sleepless nights and a lot of courage. So instead of rushing to leave a bad review if something doesn’t go perfectly, let’s try to understand and communicate. Constructive feedback helps much more than criticism. I recently met the new owner. A hardworking female entrepreneur who’s doing everything on her own. I have a lot of respect for her dedication. The service is genuinely great, and if something isn’t right, she listens, apologizes, and fixes it immediately. That’s what real customer service is about. Even big chains like Tim’s or McDonald’s have issues sometimes, but what matters most is the willingness to make things right. The food and drinks here are high quality and made with care. I’ve seen it myself. So please, support this local business if you can. From one human to another, let’s lift each other up.

I recently stopped by this place under the new ownership, and I was honestly impressed. The food and drinks are top-notch - you can taste the quality and care that goes into everything. What stood out even more was the attitude of the new owner. She’s young, ambitious, and running the whole show on her own. It’s not easy starting something new, but she’s doing it with passion and a smile. You can tell she really cares about her customers. if something’s off, she listens and fixes it right away without hesitation. We often talk about supporting local businesses, and this is exactly the kind of place that deserves that support. Instead of focusing on small hiccups, let’s encourage people who are genuinely trying to do something positive in our community. Give them a visit. great service, great quality, and great people behind it. You won’t regret it.
