Cafe Au Play
📍 Duncansville, CA
Indoor play cafe for ages 0–6 with a dedicated crawler zone, thoughtfully curated toys, and a fully stocked local coffee bar. Outside nut-free food welcome. Sanitized regularly.
We took our little one to Cafe Au Play while visiting family. Very fair admissions cost for the experience! It was a clean and safe establishment. There are some smaller pieces/toys so if you are bringing a child under 16 months you’ll definitely need to be attentive. Great selection of snacks and beverages for kids and adults. Bathrooms are clean and equipped with changing stations and supplies for babies and ladies if anyone needs- very generous. There is so much to do and the kids all seemed very content and entertained there! We will definitely be back when we visit again soon!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for parents of mobile toddlers and preschoolers who want a calm play space with proper coffee. The open layout means kids play independently and parents can actually settle in. Parents of children under 16 months should supervise closely — some toys have smaller pieces. Breastfeeding-friendly with changing stations stocked on-site.

“My little and I absolutely loves Cafe Au Play! It gets us out of the house, he gets interaction with other kids his age & it’s definitely a break from our everyday routine. The staff are fabulous, the play area is very cleanly, and there are options for adults to purchase a make-your-own coffee. I love being able to bring my work (aka crafts) in to make while my little plays and is not all over me like he usually is at home. Overall the best play area around. 😊”

“I can’t say enough good things about this play café! The coffee is SO good (and I love that it’s local). The toy selection is amazing—everything feels so thoughtfully chosen and keeps my kids busy in the best way. The whole place has such a calm, relaxed vibe, which is hard to find in kid spaces. And Tracy and Christa are just the sweetest—so welcoming and kind.”
