I drove up from Springville to see this place that my friend wanted to meet up at. I had grabbed my kids from the splash pad with their aunt to check out this "fun and exciting" place for them to play. It was also around lunch time so I was hungry and expecting cafe food. When I walked in my son (who is 5) mentioned that there wasnt even a playground (he was disappointed and rather bored the whole time) and was a little sticker shocked by the $6/kid price since there wasnt much more than a few couches and baby toys (just for more of a price perspective... a bounce house is typically $3/kid and is much more fun for the kids). The main positive thing that I will mention and the reason why I gave this review 2 stars instead of 1 is that they required socks and I didnt have any I was going to purchase them but then they decided to leave them off the bill for my kids to play. Since I was hungry I was very disappointed that their only food options were piddly and expensive. I ended up getting a Costco Brand Hummus plate that came with a few veggies one Costco pita and a small Costco cup of hummus. I was rather underwhelmed and wished they had more items passed the toddler stage for kids to play with. I felt bad that I had grabbed my kids from something that they were really enjoying to come play with dress ups that we have at home and a play house that is the same exact house they have at their grandmas. Not to leave this review all negative I do want to list some pros. The place is really clean, I liked the atrium windows that look over the kids play area, the idea is really cute and could probably do well if they fixed a few things which are: reduce the price of entrance, add an indoor playground that appeals to the older children (the place is small so this might not work.... but they do have 4 of the same playhouses nix 3 of those), have more and better food options (I did notice after the fact that online they state that they have salads but that wasnt apparent when I was there even when I asked about several food options they said I could have a grilled cheese... ) I understand that it is a small business and I love eating local and give my business to local places so I do hope that this place can become the place that I was expecting when I arrived.

I was definitely disappointed! I had such high hopes for this place. It is small and over priced. The two girls working there made us feel very uncomfortable and unwanted. While our group of 7 kids played they walked around cleaning all the toys up, even things our kids were still playing with. Our girls were playing dress-up and they put the dresses away. The boys were playing and they walked away for 2 minutes and the girl had put the things away they were playing with. I wish we would have said something but we just packed up and left. I will 100% not go back.

What a darling idea and really fun for the littles. To the people critical of the food, theyre really missing the point of this darling establishment. This is a small local business with a great location and fun idea, and if you have a little its completely worth your time, and really, its not expensive. Please remember your negative criticism - often unwarranted - call be detrimental. If you have a legit complaint take it up with someone at the business. Really take your small kids here, its such a treat.

My daughter and I love this place! I see other people rating it low, but they seem to be focused upon other peoples (not this bizs employees) parenting. Thats so odd to me! Why be upset at a shop or business because of the way others parent (or dont) their children??? This place has delicious coffee (❤ the mocha!), incredibly friendly staff, I can answer my endless emails in a warm and loving environment, and my daughter hasnt ever gotten bored while playing there.

This is a great little space for the little ones but what I really dont like is that none of the employees enforce the rules. Unfortunately both times that I have been there I have had to correct another childs behavior. Obviously their parents should do this, but too many seem to think theyre supposed to just drop their kid off in the play area and go up to the cafe. I think a little bit of oversight and enforcement from the business would go a long way.

Perfect place for kids and parents to hang out. It is clean and decorated so cute, with a very safe space for kids to run and play with all the quality toys. The coffee is delicious and they have comfortable seating for adults to sit peacefully or chat with friends while they watch their kids play. The owners really got this one right. They are so friendly and creative. I hope someday they consider serving hot food for lunch.

Storybrook is a dream come true for my family! My two children (both under age 4) absolutely love this place. Im able to get a little work done on my laptop while the kids play. Not to mention, I can get my coffee fix at their little cafe. Great coffee drinks. The other parents/kids there are always very nice. Weve definitely made some friends there. The staff is also very helpful and personable. I really love this place.

This place is so cute! It is perfect for preschool aged kids especially when the weather is bad outside. My 3 year old girls can play here for hours! The employees have always been so kind. It is obvious a lot of thought has gone into all aspects of the cafe. My only complaint is that this place seems to be a victim of its own success. A few times I have been there it has been to busy to even find a seat.

Definitely for babies and toddlers. My 6 year old didnt like it at all. The food is generic and the Kirkland brand (salads and hummus and juices). Didnt have coffee so I cant speak to the quality of the coffee. A good idea but definitely not for my family. Wish there were toys for kids older than 2 and better food options. I can get Kirkland juice and hummus at my own home.

Storybrook Play Cafe is Such a Wonderful Place. It is fun for kids to play and pretend together. My Daughter is 3 and we have been going there to play since she was 1. The Play houses are so adorable and the ball pit is definitely our favorite part. There are lots of yummy snacks and the coffee is top notch.

We love this place. Catch up with your friends without worrying where the kiddos are every second. Cute place and reasonably priced drinks. Did I mention how awesome and sweet the owner is?! Would love if on Sundays they were open but pretty used to places not open on Sundays in Utah. Check this place out!

We loved it here!! I met up with a girlfriend and our toddlers. We had a great, healthy snack lunch, coffee and then were able to visit while our kids played their hearts out. Id definitely purchase a membership if I lived closer. So happy that they do birthday parties as well!
