So what is a
Play Cafe?
Down by the Bay Play Cafe is a space to welcome new parents, experienced parents, grandparents and everyone in between. We provide a safe, nurturing location to help foster your child's development, along with a small option of cafe drinks and snacks to keep parents fueled to keep up with the wild energy of their little one. Families can come together to socialize, relax, work, share advice, or simply just get out of the house without having to worry about what their child will get into. We have scheduled times throughout the day to ensure a relaxing environment for families to come and play.
We are not your 'typical' play space. We don't have fancy climbers, big play structures, or noisy toys. We have simple wooden toys that encourage imaginative play, fine motor play, and toys that help build connection between children and families.
Come see what we're all about, we're positive we will be your new 'home away from home'.
