We hosted my son‘s first birthday party here. The owner was exceptional, She stayed for the entire party to make sure everything smoothly. We come here to play regularly and have visited other play cafés in the area and this one is by far the cleanest which is great for my crawling 1 year old :) Thank you Play Dates Cafe!

We recently had our daughter’s first birthday party and it was such a good time. Donia, the owner, is absolutely AMAZING. I cannot recommend this place enough. Donia was extremely helpful and accommodating. The space is clean and spacious. We had a handful of kids that attended and all of them had so much fun. The ages ranged from 6months-10yrs and everyone had fun. I will be coming here for open plays and future birthdays. Thank you so much Donia!!!

Our 1yr old had so much fun exploring all the different learning toys. Busy boards and tunnels were her favorite. There is plenty of space for everyone to move around. Coffee was great and sitting area is perfect to sit and still watch your little one play. Definitely a place to go for indoor play when weather is cold!

Loved this play cafe! It was clean and there was plenty for my 1 year old to do, there was a wide variety of toys and he could interact with everything. The coffee was also great! My only advice would be maybe better signage? My maps kept taking me to the wrong side of the building and it was a little difficult to find off of 28th street

I WOULD GIVE 200 STARS IF I COULD! PlayDates is fun, clean, and spacious! We celebrated our twins second birthday party here and had the BEST time! The owner, Donia, truly went above and beyond to help in anyway she could. All of the kids (ages 2-7) had a blast and did not want to leave. Thank you for giving us such incredible memories!
