Fabulous play cafe, really nicely done. Staff are amazing and friendly and the food is really lovely with a nice choice for adults and little ones. My children enjoyed a lovely afternoon with their friends here and the mum's had a lovely catch up too! Perfect place to get together with your little ones and friends for a play and a bite to eat. Will definitely return, thank you for a wonderful time

By far the best play cafe I have ever experienced. Loved all the different play areas, including outdoor areas. My 2yr old spent 2hrs here and happily could have stayed longer. Normally he is entertained for around 10 minutes. Absolutely excellent! My only criticism would be that the menu could be a little more varied and offer more healthy options for young children.

Lovely cafe, beautifully decorated and staff were very warm and friendly. The coffees were amazing (I strongly recommend the biscoff latte), and the food was delicious. My son also really enjoyed his very first non-homemade meal (the baby puree of the day), and we bought one of the lovely jumpers they have for sale! Overall a lovely experience.

What a little gem of a place! Came up from Cardiff as we had an event for church. Brought our youngest here and enjoyed coffee, Breakfast & a little cake! My son had soo much to play with it was incredible. My husband (who is American) Had pancakes and rated them right up there for american style! The coffee was so lovely and smooth! Will definitely be sharing this incredible place with any friends visiting Hereford!

Really enjoyable morning, it was busy when I arrived which almost made me leave. But I'm glad we stayed. We played outside and before long I grabbed a seat and a coffee and relaxed. Plenty to do for the little one and great coffee and Brownie for me. It'll be lovely in the summer when it's a bit warmer to enjoy more of the outdoor activities.

Fantastic place ,the ladies are so kind, patient and helpful. Our older girls were made to feel welcome in half term and there was a lovely baby room for our little boy.

Excellent place to spend an afternoon with young children. The cafe serves excellent food and all the seats have good views of the playing areas. Inside there is a baby room with sofas and a tepee, a play kitchen, a small library and a play table with crazy sand, and the main cafe area with a number of tables. There is lots of space around the tables for moving and parking pushchairs. Outside is a patio with more seating and tables, and area with astroturf, a construction area, ride-along tractors, a playhouse made up like a hobbit hole, a water table and some large toy farm equipment (tractors, combine harvesters etc). Both male and female toilets have seats suitable for adults and children, so either parent can assist with toilet duties. There is reasonable access to the disabled toilet, although this is the only toilet with baby changing facilities.

Me and some other mums from Kingstone took out young babies up for the morning, it was so lovely. The lady was very kind and took the time to talk to us. All the little ones enjoyed it and we will definitely be making it a regular day out.
