Most Disliked
Some visitors mention that peak hours, especially Saturday lunch, can lead to longer wait times, making reservations a necessity for weekends. A few customers noted that while the food is tasty, there could be even more variety on the menu for adults. Some people might find the energetic atmosphere a bit overwhelming, particularly during busy dining times. There are also reviews mentioning the need for more seating in the play area for families visiting during rush periods.

We had such a great time at this play café! The food was amazing — generous portions and plenty of options to suit everyone. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxed, making it a perfect spot to unwind while the children played. The staff were absolutely wonderful — friendly, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. The children were fully engaged in imaginative role play, exploring the different rooms that were set out perfectly for them to lose themselves in their own little worlds. It was such a joy to see them so happy and absorbed while we enjoyed our meal in peace. Highly recommend for families looking for great food, a warm atmosphere, and a space where kids can truly play and imagine!

Couldn’t rate this place higher. Food was delicious, staff were so friendly and went above and beyond for us (letting us sit down as we arrived a bit earlier than our booking and made such a fuss of our son for his birthday) and the selection of toys was perfect. Will definitely be back and so worth a visit if you’re looking for somewhere with good food, but will keep the kids entertained at the same time so you can eat it while it’s hot. Thanks again ☺️

Went to The Wee White Playhouse for the play area, which was great as its separate from the main dining area but has tables for in the play area which is a great size. Service was great and the food was so tasty, decent portions and good price. Will definitely be back!

I came in for the first time today with my 4 year old and my mum. Staff were so pleasant and I liked the set up of the place. Really enjoyed the sharing platter and my little girl was so happy with the play area. I will definitely be back. Such a pleasant afternoon. Family friendly and Reasonably priced

I was really pleasantly surprised by how nice the decor was in the adults' area, and the kids' play space was fantastic. The food and coffee were both spot on. We came for Sunday brunch, and it had such a chilled vibe—plus the service was awesome. Already looking forward to coming back!
