I've been here a few times with my girls and they LOVE Madeline's Play Cafe. The place itself is beautiful, clean and immediately inviting. Great variety of toys, games, activities and slides for the kids. The Parisian theme is so chic! The Cafe has a few snacks/beverages for purchase and the coffee bar is delicious. Perfect place to take the kids on a rainy morning. Will definitely go back!

I had visited Madeline's play cafe and the atomosphere is beautiful. It's a great place for kids to play. Theres a variety of areas throughout the play section so the kids are always entertained (for boys & girls). I came here for a birthday party that was held and everyone had a great time. While the kids were playing and enjoying, the adults enjoyed a cup of coffee. The girls that work there, were also very welcoming and sweet. I would definitely recommend visiting Madeline's play cafe & having your kids birthday party here as well!

I discovered Madeline's Play Cafe last summer and we've been coming ever since! My kids love the rock climbing, carousel, ball pit, and imaginative play areas. I wasn't sure if my 8 year old would find it too babyish, but the coloring station and cozy book nook area up front are her go-to spots every time. It's clean, well designed, and perfect for all ages. Be sure to order a cup of cappuccino while you're there. Highly recommend!

We had the most wonderful experience at Madeline’s Play Cafe on President’s Day – it truly exceeded all our expectations! It’s the perfect place for little ones, with so much to explore and enjoy. The space was not only spotless but also beautifully designed, creating such a welcoming and calming atmosphere. There was an amazing area specifically for younger children, which was perfect for the family we visited with. The snack and coffee bar was a nice bonus, offering delicious treats, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier. My kids are already excitedly asking when we can return – we’ll definitely be back soon!
