Little Beans Play Cafe

I decided to try out the new cafe and let my LO play in a new environment, and I can honestly say I left feeling alittle disappointed.It was expensive for how little there was for my infant. Not to mention the added tip that was requested at the time of payment. I encountered some rude children which I understand may not be the centers fault, but it just added to the experience.I cant say if i will return again. Maybe when my LO is older to enjoy what is there. Hard to say.

Overall this place is nice, clean and the staff is nice. My only complain would be the fruit salad they sell. For the 6 dollars they charge I don’t think it’s worth it. It came with frozen blueberries, cut up apple and like 3 slices of banana. I know berries aren’t in season right now but maybe choosing a different fruit instead of frozen stuff. I just don’t think it was worth the money. I would give this place 5 stars had i not bought that. I got the chicken panini and that was good, strawberry waffles were decent also.

I am so very pleased with my son’s birthday party. The venue was so clean and aesthetically pleasing. The kids had a blast. An hour play time was just perfect and the kids were so excited to go upstairs to the party room which I was given ample time to decorate.The food was just amazing! We had the grilled cheese and quesadillas and there was plenty of food; we even took some home. It was so nice to just buy everything there and it really took the stress off me not having to worry about food prep, transport and clean up. The party package came with healthy fruit and veggie platters cut up small; perfect for little fingers.The staff is so friendly and accommodating. The adults absolutely raved about your medium roast coffee and specialty iced coffees. Also Kieran the owner was nothing but a pleasure to work with. This was my easiest and favourite party to host because everything was done for me so I could just mingle with my guests and enjoy my kids!Thanks little beans !

I'm so happy that there is such a play cafe FINALLY! I couldn't believe there was no alternative in the Tri-Cities before. Just look how busy it got several weeks after opening.The playground is well thought through, kids like it a lot, and parents can enjoy their coffee while their little ones play. The entire place is designed great from the choice of colours to the kids-friendly washrooms (a small detail, but how many kids' places lack this!). The team is very friendly, the vibe is awesome.The prices are steep, yes. I guess that there is no way to keep this level of quality otherwise.I particularly appreciate that the cafe has already improved based on customer feedback. From our first visit in December to the birthday party in January, they have already added new features, and it looks like they are not going to stop.Overall, my experience with Little Beans Play Cafe was very positive. The only remark from my side would be about the food. Maybe I was not lucky? But for the price I paid, I expected more, to be honest. It was okay but looked better than tasted. I tried soup and salad. Was tasting like canned tomato soup, to be honest. Salat was just a heap of arugula seasoned with an unreasonable amount of balsamic vinegar (or something like that). The apple pie waffle was actually served with fresh apples. Yes, it is stated on the menu, but who reads it all, right? The entire topping combination was strange to my taste. The waffle itself didn't impress me either.I hope that the Little Beans Play Cafe team can meet this challenge as well. Otherwise, it's a great solution for rainy days which are so abundant in our area. Or a couple of hours of work or meeting with friends!

A down to earth, no fuss and minimalistic homey vibes awesome coffee joint and kids paradise. This is a great place to bring your kids to let off some steam at great value and catch up on some much needed espresso and yum goodies whilst they go ham. The toys cater a great age range and include some home DIY-based sustainable fun ideas.This place is great, one of a kind and I respect the business for being great and doing what it does. The staff are phenomenal, super friendly and approachable. Really efficient and on it with continuous cleaning and providing a dope experience. This joint is hands down a five star no questions asked and ignore any claims of poor visits.Support local businesses!

Have done the play cafe here, enjoyed the coffee, and left my little one at drop in daycare with them. All their services and staff are amazing. The space is beautiful and thought through and the little ones love it!The downstairs play area has lots of skill levels and is directly adjacent to tables so you can stand inside and easily talk with fellow friends at a table. The little ones are super engaged in the space and mine developed more confidence on this type of playground equipment compared to the outdoor versions. Great for rainy days!!!The food and coffee is really, really good, like easily just as good as the other coffee shops in the area with pretty comparable prices. Maybe a tad expensive for the food, but for the convenience and the genuinely adult and healthy options I'm more than willing to spend an extra few bucks.The online interface for the daycare booking takes a little time to learn, but if you're having trouble like I was, just give them a call! They walked me through it no problem and even helped me make a same day booking, which the online system doesn't allow for right now, but Alina (sp?) helped change my booking right after I made it so we could come in same day. I felt so comfortable leaving my little one with Alina in the upstairs daycare space. She introduced herself and we chatted for a bit and she got to know my little one before I left so it wasn't too abrupt. She obviously had fun arts and crafts ready to go and my little girl (2y3m) was super happy to stay with her and play- no fuss at all when I left!I can't recommend trying this place out strongly enough!!

Definitely not a quick ‘grab & go’ place! But definitely recommend for a slow Sunday morning and you want to spend some time with your kids since they have a little playarea for children! The vibe is a definite 8.5/10 and food is 7.5/10! Staff is 10/10
