Little Beans Play Cafe

Had a private room birthday party for my son. They changed it so that you can’t play with any of the toys upstairs anymore. You just get the room and that’s it. It is a nice facility. But some older reviews say you can play with toys this is NOT the case anymore. It was my fault for expecting toys being available. But as the kids can’t play in the playground some toddlers got bored with nothing to play with in the room as we ate. Having some toys set aside for party use and not daycare use would be good. The food was very disappointing. You’re not allowed to bring outdoor food in so can only eat what is provided. They only have pizzas, grilled cheese, and quesadillas as options. Nothing available for ppl with gluten or lactose restrictions. The way it is described on the website is not clear. I thought it would be enough food for kids and adults. When I called in describing who will be coming (10 kids and 11 adults) the staff said the 4 pizzas and fruit and veggie tray will be more than enough to feed all who is coming. It isn’t a fruit and veggie TRAY. It’s a fruit and veggie plate. On the fruit “tray” it is one green apple. A couple strawberries. And a couple slices of melon cut up baby led weaning size. To even feed 10 kids it would have been a stretch, let alone parents included. The veggie “tray” is the equivalent of 3-4 celery stalks, a couple carrots, and one yellow pepper cut up. Essentially do not have the expectation of grocery store trays or any other tray. It’s a small plate. Adjust your expectations and maybe you won’t be disappointed like us. The pizza is not large nor very good quality. It is a thin crust on premade crust. When the website says a large pizza, keep in mind it’s a thin cracker like crust. The grilled cheese which is 25$ for the plate is your basic grocery store sliced bread. Not good quality for 25$. I had to add extra food as we were eating as I told my guests I would provide lunch but I realized it wasn’t enough food to feed everyone. Even though I called to confirm with the cafe ahead of time that it will be enough. Which is an awkward situation for a host of a party. I felt bad for telling people I would provide lunch only to not be able to have enough food. But my guests understood it was the cafe’s problem. When I told my guests these were the large pizzas more than one parent said “I’m pretty sure they got your order wrong” because of how small the pizzas were. Others said “you should talk to them because this can’t be the large pizza.” Another said “I suppose this is a large pizza… for a toddler” Perks are: room is nice and clean. Staff were VERY friendly and kind. Coffee urn ($18) was good. Brought in ice cream cake from Rocky point icecream which they stored in their freezer for us. Because I hosted my party during the summer, the playground was not busy on the Saturday we had it. It was only the toddlers/babies at our party plus a few other kids which was a relief. I was worried it would be busy Edit: manager called to apologize and offer a gift card which I appreciate. Still not enough to make a satisfactory experience but the customer service is still a highlight for me for this place.

Nice indoor play area. Our son is 13 months and had a good time. It would be nice if they had more small toys for that age. Definitely great for 18mo to 4y. Food options were great, lots of gluten free items to choose from. The paninis were expensive but other items were fairly priced. Staff was very friendly too!
