The Playground Cafe

Katherine Jaen

Such an amazing space with thought in every detail. The kids played and hung out while I got uninterrupted time to enjoy an amazing mocha. Seriously, what else could you ask for? Our new go to spot for sure! Staff was also super friendly and accommodating.

What a wonderful addition to downtown! This is the perfect place to meet up with a friend and let your kids play in a safe and clean environment. We recently attended a 4 year old birthday party and it was exceptionally organized and the kids had a blast.

I'm so glad this place finally opened! It's amazing. Bring the kiddos, enjoy some delicious food and drinks, enjoy art or social time. Locally owned and operated by the sweetest couple specifically because they needed this service for their own family. Gift cards for parents for Xmas is on the list too. I'm so happy we have this in Petaluma now.

My 2 year old niece had her birthday party here and it was phenomenal. The staff was friendly, helpful, and professional and the space was perfect for a small group of toddlers to have a great little party. There was a dedicated space for the food and cake portion and then they have a splay room with slides and space to have a great little time. Kate and her staff are rockstars and I think any kid would love to have an event here.

We love Art Play! Our 2 year old looks forward to going every week - seeing some friends, making art, and getting his wiggles out on the rock wall and on the slides. The thoughtfulness that has gone into designing and outfitting Art Play is awesome; and it’s the rare child place that parents and adults can enjoy spending time in too.

*update - owners immediately reached out to me to refund one of the ticket costs. I really appreciate this* Brought my two kids here to check it out on a Friday. I didn’t realize you were supposed to make a reservation in advance but fortunately there were 2 spots available. I filled out the forms and then the man at the front rung me up. $40.29 cents for two children. I was distracted because I had two toddlers and a newborn so I didn’t think to question the price. On the website it says that siblings get $2 off the admission price so I should have only been charged $16.00 a child and why was I charged tax on an admission?? Along with this I was supposedly paying for 3 hours but I was told we had to be out by 11:00 when we’d arrived at 9:30 which was only 2.5 hours. Overall the inside play area was nice but for that price I will not be returning.

Took my 4 kiddos this morning and they were over the moon! Played for about an hour and a half (until nap time) and I enjoyed a delicious vanilla latte while chatting with a friend. Cannot wait to come back!

Great place to spend a couple of hours with your kids.

Great coffee shop with the kids' play area.

Great coffee shop with the kids' play area.

Very cute and fun aesthetic. Fun place to meet up for a play date, however I think it’s a bit overpriced to sit in a loud/overstimulating back room for a specific time slot. Needing to leave the play area to utilize the cafe can also be tricky. I would like to come back and try one of their classes for my daughter for a different experience.
