Customer Review Summary
Reviewers come mainly for the play room, a small soft play frame for babies and toddlers with lights and mirrors beneath the main slide, plus interactive features, toys and books. One parent says a 7 month old loved the lights, and another found the area bigger than it looks. Close behind is the coffee, along with a relaxed lunch setting where baby food and toys let a parent eat in relative peace. Drinks also get named, including a refreshing Botanic Bramble and a smooth Espresso Martini, and one reviewer mentions the healthy options and coffee beans to take away. A parent who hosted a toddler's party praises the beautifully presented decorations and platters. The one complaint is from a reviewer who finds the play area basic and best for under 3s, and calls it a shame that each additional adult must pay to sit in it. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly, and one parent notes they helped get the buggy in and out.

“A great little local find - my 15 month old had a blast! The play area is bigger than it looks, as there are lights and mirrors underneath the main slide. Lovely baby toys to play with too. Something a bit different from the usual soft play. Friendly staff who helped get our buggy in and out. I didn't eat there, but will next time!”

“This play cafe is most suited for young toddlers and babies. It’s basic but in a good way if your child is little, best for under 3’s I’d say - nice that you can see the child most of the time. Nice coffee too, good activity with grandparents or playdates for older babies or little toddlers. Shame that you have to pay for each additional adult to sit in the play area bit.”

“This café is the perfect place to unwind after a long day. The atmosphere is cozy and beautifully designed, with friendly and welcoming staff. I had the Botanic Bramble, refreshing, slightly fizzy, and delightfully sweet. The food is also great, and on another visit, I tried their Espresso Martini, smooth, rich, and absolutely delicious. A lovely spot I’ll definitely return to!”
