We brought our 2 boys (3&5) here for a bite while in Port for the Santa train. They loved it. Everything is house made and delicious and a good selection of healthy and comfort food for both adults and kids. Friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Probably most suited to families with younger kids, although the food is good enough to stop in without kids too. I wish they had this in Nanaimo (Bees knees is similar vibe but smaller play area).

My family and I stopped here recently on the way to Tofino. The food was delicious with good sized portions and great coffee. Our daughter has a fantastic time playing while we ate. The owner was welcoming, very generous and kind to us all. This play cafe is by far the best we have visited in BC and thoroughly recommend it.

My husband and I stopped by with our toddler daughter and had a fantastic time. We felt very welcome and the owner is very passionate about delicious food and a happy place for all to come and eat, and children to play. The toys are beautiful and we really enjoyed our soup, sandwich and two delicious muffins as well as the excellent coffee. Great place for kids and adults alike!

Can be a bit noisy... kids in the play area. Small cozy diner, soup needed reheating, sandwiches quite tasty and filled with fresh ingredients. Friendly server, prompt service.
