The Littles Play Cafe
579 Troy-Schenectady Rd, Latham, NY
Crema's Take
“This isn't your typical coffee shop—it's a vibrant playground where parents can actually enjoy a quality espresso while their toddlers explore a dedicated play space complete with a ball pit, toys, and scooters. The baristas here clearly care about both the coffee and the experience, pulling excellent shots in a bright, meticulously clean environment that feels designed specifically for families rather than just tolerating them. It's become a beloved local gathering spot for parents seeking genuine connection over thoughtfully made drinks, with plenty of space to spread out at their new Latham Farms location.”

So the young lady that works there is pur absolute favorite and we love it for my toddler. Clean fun atmosphere. Lots of things to do for young children. Ball pit, scooters, toys, and of course I go there because the young lady is the best to us and so nice everytime we are there. She knows my mither and I by face and always welcomes us when we come.
This was my first visit with my Godaughter.(16 months old) This is a nice place for your little one to explore and have fun.It was bright ,clean,very kid friendly .it wasn't crowded.Nice space for parents with young children to get together . Very affordable. I like that it's age restricted ,and just for the littles. The staff was friendly . My little one really enjoyed herself ,she played untill she wore herself out. Looking forward to checking out the other locations as well. Would definately come again.
I first heard of this place via instagram and decided to try it out; I’m newly local and haven’t seen anything like this upstate before. The pricing was decent, espresso was great, great food options as well! This place definitely accommodated not only kids but parents as well .The place itself had a very large scale of options of things to do (suprisingly my kids did not get bored). The arcade was greatly pricesd and the machines actually allowed you to twin prize(s); the claw had grip. Very clean and safe environment Staff was friendly, patient and understanding (answered a bunch of questions upon beind asked). The place was crowded when i went but not overstimulating due to its large size. I am antisocial but I can say i did meet a lot of parents that i did ending up talking to and a cute little girl in a komodo robe that my kids hung out with the entire time. The space is fine if you wanna hang out with your kid, have your kids socialize or even if you want to have them be independent in a closed off area while you work by the tables.I will be visiting again and I would HIGHLY recommend!! * REVISED (5 to 4 star) after visiting for the fourth time i’m realizing parents treat this more like a drop off daycare and not a indoor playgrounf, My kid(s) were being bullied by multiple kids there and their parents were no where to be found
We were visiting the area and this was our last stop. The place was clean and bright and the staff were very friendly. Our girls loved the bright colors and all the activities and games this place had to offer. They thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience!
The new location is amazing! Before it was so cramped and honestly not enjoyable trying to find a spot to put your stuff or even to sit. However, the new spot in Latham Farms is a great improvement with ample space so you can breathe. There are so many options for the kids to now play alone or with others. I love the addition of the little soft play space for young children while their older siblings climb, slide and jump on the larger one. I do like that the parents are given wristbands that control the play space gates. Its a nice safety upgrade so that the kids don't just run out without you knowing.
