Great place to have playdates for the kiddos and the staff is super friendly!
The inside space is so cute and has loads of toys to keep little ones entertained for hours. The baby gates allow for parents to visit, catch up on work, etc all while watching their kids from a few feet away. They seem to add new toys every now and then, so even returning guests won't be bored. However their customer service could use some work. Since they opened months ago I've called somewhere between 5-10 times and have only received an answer once. If you have any questions it's best to go to the cafe and ask in person. The check in is also rushed and purchasing drinks, food, etc seems pushed.
We visited today for the first time. It was a 30 minute drive from us but we had to check it out! It was definitely worth the drive and we'll be back very soon. The owner was super sweet. The play area is huge and there's so much to do. We got there a little after 11 and I couldn't drag my 3 year old out of there until a little after 2🤣. She loved it and so did I. Perfect place for coffee dates while your kiddos play. You can see them from all angles from where the seating area is.
We took our grandkids they are 1 and 2. It was GREAT! Friendly staff and loads of fun for the kids
My son love it here!! He gets to run around while I have amazing coffee. The baristas are the nicest ladies in the world too. We will always be coming here!
My son absolutely loved this place ^_^ it’s about a 40min drive from where we live BUT would definitely come here again ^_^ staff is friendly ^_^ I can see my son from basically any seat while I have my coffee. There is a smaller area for kids under 2yrs old which I truly think is awesome. The bigger area for the older kids is hectic but fun. Lots of ride on cars, pretend food, blocks and so many different toys. Only thing that I wasn’t a fan of was how messy everything got 🤣😂🤣 I guess I’m use to the children’s museum where there is more staff picking things up throughout the day. But overall I do recommend.
This business is perfectly set up to allow parents to relax a bit while kids play: great sight lines, but set up in a way that kids feel empowered to play without parents needing to be right there with them. The owner is super friendly as well! Good coffee for parents and snacks on hand for kiddos too.
We love the Mad Hatter Play Cafe! Bring in the kiddos and treat yourself to coffee while they make new friends out on the play floor :) support small businesses and shop local
Really nice play area, perfect place for rainy days! Kids can play safely indoors while we can enjoy a nice cup of coffee!!
Great addition to our community! Nice to be able to see the kids easily from any seating. The owner is just super sweet and remembers all the families. Great place to grab a lotus or coffee and study while the kids play. Nice area for under 2 as well!
Listen, it's not a restaurant, it's got good coffee and snacks and drinks enough for the children. Think latte for Mommy and animal cracker bags for the kids, so that's the only reason I didn't really rate the food. It is exactly what we all need in rainy WA, though, for kids. We came with a few kids from 2 to 10 and a 23 year old disabled and developmentally delayed "kid" and they all had great fun. There's quite literally something for all of them. And my husband was happy to play excite bike quarter machine and use the massage chair. Us moms drank our coffee and watched the kids play. It was just like an indoor park but actually easier to watch kids at since it's all one central room and there's no where they can be away from supervision without walking out of two gates and right past you so that was fun.
What an amazing find!!! Friendly place to bring the young ones to play, in a safe indoor area. Big selection of toys to play with. Great staff with great coffee.
Wonderful place for the kids. We love it
I wish there was a age limit at this place. I think it used to be 6 and under but I don't see that rule anymore. My 2 toddlers were having a great time until a huge group of kids that were more like 7-9 showed up and just started throwing toys all over And screaming and pushing each other down and running. It was insane. We would love this place if older kids weren't allowed.
The kids had fun while the adults talked. What more could you want? Oh, and they had coffee you could order. We had Domino's pizza delivered for the party. Didn't have to deal with other families and their kids (other than those invited to the party) because the whole place is rented for parties. Great place to see what toys your kids like and "try before you buy."
Such an amazing space created here for children and their parents. A happy , safe, atmosphere with so many sensory activities for kids. My little one is 15 months, and hasn’t had the chance to interact with other kids around his age. I don’t have roots here, it we are trying. I learned about it and went to check it out the same day. Couldn’t be more thrilled! My little guy had so much fun, and so did I. Thankfully, it was not overwhelming with tons of kids just running around and parents checked out on the sidelines. The parents were all very relaxed, able to mingle, work or just relax, while being completely present for their children. Rules were respected and the kids all seemed to really enjoy themselves and each other. Also, I loved the coffee and all the snacks available. I really am so thankful to have this available near by, and at such an affordable price. It means this place can be a regular outing for my son and I now, providing us the ability to grow in our community, socialize and learn independence.
I was complaining we needed a place like this. Indoors and well lit place for kids of all ages under 12 to go play with others. Hatter is well staffed and clean. The toys are in good condition and there is a ton for my 2 year old to do. The themed rooms are cute and it reminds me of the children's museum in Olympia. We have a membership and my wife takes my son all the time. It rains and he needs to run, this place provides. It's that simple. I hope in the future they expand the hours to Saturday. Check it out, you will love it. I'll update with pictures at some point.
This place is awesome for cold or rainy days when the kids wanna play and you just wanna drink coffee! You better expect to spend at least a couple hours cuz the kids never want to leave!
Excellent place to take your kids while you chill in eyesight of them with a beverage.
I LOVE this place, I only wish someone had thought of creating such a place a lot sooner. I love that I can bring my kiddo here and she can either go play with herself in the massive play area or I can jump in and join her. The collection of toys is really awesome and appeals to a wide age-range, this is a great place for parents to come take a break or to get some variety in play time
