We came here for the first time for meeting with some other moms and sadly wont be going back. It was a great play-place but when it came time for lunch I had to take my very upset kids out. They were upset that they couldnt stay and eat with their friends. Turns out that they serve peanut butter sandwiches and thus there is no safe food (or play area for those with severe allergies) for kids with peanut/tree nut allergies. While we couldnt eat their food we could handle being in the building allergy-wise but even in the case of an allergy no outside food is allowed. As nice as the place is we will not be returning as long as they are not a safe place for a child with a peanut allergy.

We used to really love this place and go here often but we have slowly stopped. We also probably won’t renew our membership this time. It’s become too crowded lately and the kids going here now are way too rough, mean, and unsupervised. Parents don’t watch their kids (just heads down in their phones) and the staff have stopped enforcing the rules. It’s unfortunate, used to be a great place to go.

Its a fun place to go to work and worship. Its a safe place for the kids to come and play. Both the kids and their families can make new friends. The cafe staff are nice. And the food is good especially the pastries. One other thing I forgot to mention is that I would like to mention is that its a fun place to have a birthday party for kids.

First time here and I really love it. Clean, fun, variety of rooms to play in, very good price, really nice way to meet other parents and grandparents, allowing young ones to play, jump, run, climb indoors under staff and family sulervision. Great healthy options at the cafe, too.

Ive hosted 2 birthday parties at this location and had the best experience. It is spacious and safe for kids. The Kids Street has so many activities that everyone is entertained. The staff does a great job of making life easy so you can enjoy the party!!!

Do not be discouraged as it is pretty hard to see from outside . This place is pretty large with many tables inside and free WiFi. Smiley service. Very good cappuccino and scones. Enjoy

This place is pretty amazing. It is clean, staff is friendly, the kids love the playground. I have been taking my kids here the last two winters and they still love it.

Amazingly spacious coffee shop where the proceeds are donated to a Christian nonprofit. However, the quality of their drinks does not parallel that of Starbucks.

Cool shop that has tons of options, not sure about food or play area as I only stopped for coffee, but this place has an areo press and that is ok in my book

Laid back and great coffee. Also offers some unique goodies. BTW, there is also an amazing, safe childrens area in the same building.

A coffee shop with delicious food PLUS other babies and mamas to hang with. The baby room is perfect for us. This place is awesome!

Unlike Jessica R, I applaud them not bowing down to the outlandish minority demands. Had a great donut.

Clean, inexpensive place for kids to play while parents chat over tea/coffee
