We loved this place. Our kids had the best time will we had great coffee! Also the ladies that work there are so sweet! We will be back ❤️

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best suited for families with children under 6 who want a structured, manageable play environment rather than a large free-for-all venue. The café component makes it particularly appealing for parents who want quality coffee and a social atmosphere alongside play.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Reservations are mandatory — do not show up without booking a session slot online first
Check the weekly enrichment class schedule before booking so you can align your visit with a class your child would enjoy
🎟️The K&C Club membership is worth considering for families expecting more than three visits per month
🚗Some recent reviews flag wear on equipment — inspect the ball pit and soft play areas on arrival and flag any notes to staff

This is such a fun place for littles! When you’re looking for a fun place to help get the wiggles out but also a fun environment to catch up with mom friends, I definitely recommend this place!

I want to say Kids and Coffee continues to deliver but after 8 months of multiple visits the facility is showing MAJOR wear. I never did mind paying the price for how clean the facility was and well taken care of. The tides have turned: **note our visits are always as soon as it opens - the ball pit is running VERY THIN it used to be up to the waist now it barely covers the bottom. I understood if it was later int he day but the beginning of the day. -Green grass area - parts patches, lifting patches, multiple visits the under mound tunnel has been "closed for construction" -multiple locations with torn ropes, damaged ropes, flooring the covering is lifting off the padding. -this last visit was the most disappointing - when we showed up at 9:05 am the place was a mess and we were one of a few only in. Nothing was picked up, stuff strewn everywhere, kitchen/cafe play areas empty racks nothing restaged. -the comfort room, the theory is there however it is not being taken care of. I walked in with my toddler on the floor were childproof locks broken off the cabinetry and stuck tot he floor while sticking up for any shoeless parent or adult to step on in a dark room. No longer worth the price.
