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.

I honestly can’t believe Woodland Play Cafe is turning ONE. This past year has been the hardest, most rewarding, most exhausting, and most incredible year of my life. Every family that has walked through our doors has helped build something so much bigger than a business. Together, we’ve created a community, a place where little ones can play, caregivers can connect, and memories are made every single day. So we’re throwing a birthday party... and everyone is invited. Join us on Sunday, July 12 from 4–6 PM as we celebrate one amazing year! ✨ FREE Open Play (1-hour sessions — RSVP required, space is limited!) • KidPreneur Market • Elsa & her magical bubbles • Crafts & family fun • Birthday cake cutting at 5 PM • Giveaways every 30 minutes, including free memberships, birthday party discounts, free coffee, and more! Make an evening of it! Stick around and walk over to @doghaus_eastnashville, @rachel_joy_ or @grekostreetfood for dinner after the party. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in this little dream. We can’t wait to celebrate with the families who made Woodland Play Cafe what it is today. Save this post, RSVP, and tag the friends you’re bringing! 💚 #NashvilleEvents #ThingsToDoInNashville #NashvilleKids #FamilyFunNashville EastNashvilleButton
