This place is amazing. My 2 and 3 year old love playing in the play area. Geared at kids aged 0-6. Great coffee and food. It's a great place to enjoy a coffe well the kids play and have fun. Recommend checking schedule play times on website before attending if planning on playing.

We did breakfast with Santa event with our toddler today and it was the perfect atmosphere for a toddler who is not too sure of Santa to meet and interact with him! In the hour and a half play session our little guy saw and heard Santa, ate with him, played with him and got a picture. He still was not happy when we did the picture with Santa but we got lots of other great pictures playing and interacting with Santa. The food was amazing! Highly recommend the cranberry and egg nog bread pudding! Coffee was good too! We will be back!

Welcoming environment where people can bring their children to play safely the adults can socialize or just be out of the house. I like that there is a separate area in the back for people who don't want to be around the sounds of the littles playing if they choose. Service was quick and all the employees that we interacted with were friendly and helpful. The food was pretty good and they had lots of vegan, GF, and vegetarian options. For being a self-proclaimed coffee shop, their drinks were on the low side of average. I ordered a lemonade and it was made from powder, with way too much powder for the size that I ordered. My friend got a 'dirty chai' which is typically made with shots of espresso, but they left out the milk and used brewed coffee instead of espresso.

I had a business meeting, but (unexpectedly) had my 6yo with me. I changed my meeting and booked an appointment time for my kiddo, and it was great! We had food, drinks, played games, and met other people. The food, drinks, atmosphere, and service was awesome. Tip: Tuesdays are cheeper for appointments.

Very happy to have a place where I can get soup and a sandwich and coffee. Plus it has a play area with little kid toys in front and quieter area to sit in the back. It's kinda hard to find cuz the signs aren't real big but it's right on the main drag of Plainwell near Perfect Image.
