Our Story
Woodland Play Cafe was created from both a dream and a need - the need for a family-friendly space in the city. A place where adults can unwind, connect with their community, and children can play, learn, and explore in a space designed just for them. It’s a little like visiting your best friend’s house: cozy, welcoming, and relaxed. A place where you can catch up over coffee while knowing your little ones are having just as much fun.
