Cafe + Play
232 N Main St, Meridian, ID
Crema's Take
“This Meridian gem brilliantly balances serious coffee craft with genuine family hospitality, offering thoughtfully prepared traditional drinks in a meticulously clean space where parents can actually enjoy their cup while kids explore dedicated play areas and mothers have their own comfortable room. With regulars visiting weekly and glowing praise for both the quality of the drinks and the welcoming, aesthetically pleasing atmosphere, it's the rare cafe that treats families as full guests rather than an afterthought.”

Is a really fun & cute spot. Will definitely bring the kiddos back again, seems like a great place to meet friends while the kids play & enjoy some coffee or have a baby shower or birthday party. Everything felt clean & well taken care of. Dirty Chai & Almond Crossiant was pretty good. The mothers room was very cozy with the comfiest rocking chairs. The only thing I was disappointed with was the craft room, it wasn't stocked &/or just didn't have any good options, good idea but hopefully it can be better in the future. Parking wasn't the easiest either.
The cutest cafe! Brought my 9 month old (free to play for under 1), and he loved scooting around all the different areas! Everything was so clean, with so many different options for kids to do! The mom’s room is so cozy, perfect place to feed and rock your little one! And for the drinks!! Omg they were amazing! I got the flight and it was 👌🏼🤌🏼 chefs kiss! Great job Allison for creating a space for people to gather and connect!!
My daughter and I love Cafe + Play! It’s so welcoming and inviting and has such a great playa area and mother’s room! We love going and if you are in the fence of trying it out, please do! Your littles and yourself will thank you for it! Plus they also have some breakfast food which was absolutely delicious!! 🤤
Cafe & Play is our FAVORITE! We go there at least once a week and it’s truly a highlight of our week. The food and drinks are some of the best in all of the coffee shops I’ve been to in Boise. Since my husband and I work remote, we love coming to switch off playing with our baby during breaks. We are so impressed with how clean and sanitized everything is (we even see them clean after a session!). The mother’s lounge is one of my favorites because I can nurse and rock my baby to sleep for a quick nap if needed. Allison and her team and so personable and welcoming everytime we come :)
What a fun little place! The atmosphere is so aesthetic but not overwhelming. So many little corners with different things for the little ones to play with. My little girl had so much fun! The coffee was really yummy as well. Really looking forward to having a place like this in the valley to go to on colder winter days. There is also WiFi so you can work while your kids play. Plenty of seating room. Theirs also this cute little art room (forgot to take a picture of it).
