Had a great time at this play cafe with kids aged 4, 2 and 1. Very clean and variety of activies and games in the play area such as ball pit, tree house with a slide, light sensory corner, projected bubbles on the floor that pop when you step on them, lots of playthings stuck on the wall. Food quality and size was very good (we only got kids food, cheesy pasta and chips), our kids loved it. Us adults got coffees but pastries also available, as well as toddler snacks such as Oatibix bars, suckies yoghurts. Booking for the play area recommended. Limited parking outside or on local streets with max 2 hour stay. We'll go back again.

Really great soft play cafe, very clean, cosy and well maintained. Large choice of beautiful toys downstairs and a large ball pit, enough to keep our 9 month old baby occupied for two hours. There is a nice selection of hot drinks and snacks for parents too

If you’ve got little ones, definitely bring them to this oasis. It’s a kiddie and parent delight! Clean and fun play. The upstairs cafe even has a little free play area. They have all the thoughtful details to keep kids happy. My toddler and I love coming here. Staff are friendly and kind.

This is a perfect place to enjoy with toddlers and babies! We took our 1 year old and our 3 year old to Under the Canopy and it was such a lovely experience. The downstairs play area is incredibly clean, thoughtfully laid out with a nice relaxing design full of toys and activities which kept our little ones really entertained during our visit. The staff were incredibly friendly and enthusiastic and really made a big effort to make sure we and our children enjoyed themselves. In addition to the play area downstairs there’s a quieter, chill area for breastfeeding (complete with a bottle warmer) and a separate changing area and toilet (with potty attachment for the toilet and a step for little ones). The play area, despite being on the lower level, has lots of natural light from the big windows at front of the cafe, it has appropriate soft music in the background and well-chosen toys. We’ll be recommending this to our friends to come visit as well!
