Giggles & Gourmets Play Cafe & Bakery
2426 Eastern Ave SE, Grand Rapids, MI
Crema's Take
“Giggles & Gourmets is a wonderfully welcoming play cafe where the coffee and pastries take a backseat to genuine hospitality and carefully curated spaces for families—think thoughtfully stocked toy areas, accessible bathrooms, and staff who make you feel like you're borrowing a friend's living room rather than renting a venue. Beyond the traditional espresso drinks and fresh baked goods, what sets this spot apart is how seriously they take inclusion, with reviewers consistently praising the accessible design and the way staff fade into the background so you can actually enjoy your gathering without feeling managed. It's the kind of place where grandparents linger over coffee while toddlers play, where birthday parties feel less like logistics and more like community.”

We came to the Greater Hopes family and friends private event last Saturday. Our 4.5 year old and 18 month old had a blast playing. There are all kinds of toys and activities for them. Staff was super kind and helpful and the coffee drinks we tried were delicious. Will definitely be back to play again sometime!
Our adoption agency friends and family had a GREAT day of play, laughter, snacks and community at Giggles and Gourmets! We had 80+ people and children ranging in age from babies to 12 years old. Everyone had fun and found enjoyable activities to experience! The staff was very friendly and so very helpful in making our event a huge success! We will definitely be back for other events. Thank you Ashley and Team!
We had an amazing experience here! It was clean, spacious, kind, and very handicap accessible! Plenty of room for mobility devices in the play area and in the bathrooms! We will absolutely recommend this location and hopefully have a birthday party here.
We had my son’s birthday party here over the weekend. Ashley was our host & she was absolutely amazing! She’s there if you need her help, but also allows you to feel like it’s YOUR space. Renting this place was the best decision for our large group of family & friends. 10/10 would recommend!
We had our daughter’s 2nd birthday party here! We absolutely loved it!! They had age appropriate toys for babies, toddlers, and even bigger kids! My mom friends, my family, and my friends couldn’t stop raving about how cute the place was! The owners helped set up and clean up and they were so nice!! Oh and the coffee?? LOVE 10/10!! Cutest and most fun play cafe we’ve been to. Definitely will be hosting more birthdays and coming to play there!!
