Crema's Take
“Magpie Play Cafe is a thoughtfully designed space where parents can genuinely relax with quality coffee and tea while their little ones explore a beautifully maintained, Montessori-inspired play area. Owner Dina has cultivated a warm, welcoming community atmosphere that feels both clean and lived-in, where you can settle into a leather couch with a soothing jasmine tea or discover their specialty drinks without the usual trade-off of sacrificing your own comfort for your children's needs.”

My toddler and my 6 month old had such a great time playing here today. It was great. I had a comfy spot on a leather couch sipping on a nice hot Jasmine tea that soothed my scratchy throat while my girls had fun playing
We absolutely LOVE magpie! Dina has created an atmosphere that is cozy, clean and so welcoming. Every time I go in, I see this beautiful community she created. It's also a plus that they have a full coffee bar with delicious food, snacks and even a toddler snack plate. AMAZING. This space saved me after I had my second baby. It was so hard to juggle postpartum while still making sure my older child felt seen. We ended up buying a membership and it was the best investment for my overall mental health and my older son's happiness! Couldn't recommend this place more!
The service and staff were wonderful here!! My daughter had such a good time in their newly renovated toddler section! It was a little bit dirty on the floor but honestly not bad at all and it’s good for immune system anyways 😂 Highly recommend for any mamas or dads out there needing a place to go to get some play energy out and a sense of community ❤️
My favorite toddler/baby play place in Boise/Meridian area. You can actually enjoy some good coffee, they’ve got toddler food if you need it (and adult stuff). The play is Montessori style and my littles neger get bored. It’s also a great place to come with friends and be able to actually enjoy a coffee and be able to talk without fear of babies wandering off.
I drive by this joint literally everyday and I totally thought it was just a play area for kids. I noticed a sign outside that said coffee, matcha, tea. Say no more! Coffee! And this shop is right down the road from me? This sounds convenient and great! Walking in I didn't know what to expect. As soon as you walk in, you see a fun play area for the kiddos. To the side of the shop is the coffee bar and tables for parents or guests to hang out at. I approached the coffee bar and checked out the drink menu. There were 3 people working behind the counter. I was patiently waiting to get greeted as I didn't want to interrupt a full conversation they were having with another guest. Honestly I did stand there for a minute cause they were too busy chatting. After what seemed like an abnormal amount of time to let someone just stand there I was finally greeted. The gal behind the register seemed new. I got my drink ordered with her and checked out the joint while it was getting made. Not gonna lie, this concept is dope. A big play area that your little one can play in while you're enjoying your coffee. There's books, toys, a small play house with a slide. I did notice a baby who was about 1 playing with a squishy rocking horse. He was really enjoying himself. The floors are also padded so it creates a nice cushion for your kiddos. I would bring my kid here to play while I get some chill time and be able to enjoy a drink. You can't completely take your eyes off of them. The walls for the enclosure is kinda high and you can't see what they are doing if you're sitting at one of the tables. My drink finally got finished. Their small drinks are 16 oz. I was worried that my drink would be watered down cause of the extra 4 oz. Some joints fill the 4 extra oz with water which defeats the whole purpose of getting an americano. But surprisingly it wasn't. The espresso was very noticeable. The sugar free vanilla and cream was all balanced in my drink. I really enjoyed it! I don't have kids in this age group to really use this joint for what is used for but the coffee was good! And they serve food and baked goodies here. It's great that this place is conveniently down the road from me. It great to have another local joint I can go to and support for my daily caffeinated beverage.
