⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I went here for the first time today with my daughter and she had a lovely time, we both enjoyed the food and I loved the coffee.

From booking...everything has been well thought through in this bright and airy space with great toys for kids of all applicable ages.

Clean, safe, friendly atmosphere and lovely staff, highly recommended."

Sophie

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"We had our daughter’s first birthday party here. The cafe owners were so welcoming, had the tables and balloon arch set up for us on arrival, and helped with anything we needed doing once we were there / throughout the party. All our guests said how lovely it was, and children really enjoyed it - we had children ranging from 1-7! ☺️"

Samantha

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I've been twice since the PlayCafe opened ....
There is plenty of seating for adults and, if your children are happily playing away independently, you can sit down and still keep an eye on them due to the open space.

...I no longer have to choose between driving somewhere to entertain my children over running some errands in town..."
