Petit Play Café was born from a simple wish: a second-home kind of space where parents can slow down and children can safely explore. Petit Play Café where parents could exhale and children could discover, where slowing down didn’t mean missing out, and playtime could be beautiful, meaningful, and shared. With both curated play spaces for children and a cafe for adults, there is something for the whole family.

Petit Play Café is located at 299 Washington Street
