As a veteran of what it’s like to be at an unfriendly coffee shop with your children, I can’t express enough excitement for the opening of Little Beans Cafe this week. Little Beans Cafe (an indoor play space and coffee shop combo) is the newest addition to the Elston corridor – and it makes you want to slow down your car and take a break from all of your errand running.
The play space takes the best of an upscale coffee shop and make-believe play land nirvana and packages it all under one roof. For $12 per child (plus $7 per each additional child or sibling), you can grab a cup of Intelligentsia coffee and watch your child explore.
And as if this weren’t enough, Little Beans is offering a plethora of class options for parents AND kids. I don’t know about you, but I’m always looking for a new experience for myself and my kiddos. Starting in March, Little Beans will be hosting a bunch of fun and different classes for your family. Class options are:
- Family Yoga – Learn stretching, fitness and relaxation techniques for the whole family
- Mommy Time Yoga – an hour of time for yourself!
- Imaginative Art – have a coffee while your little one explores his or her artsy side with Wishcraft art studio
- Music and Movement – need I say more?
- Parent Time/ Supervised Play – drop your kids in the play space and sit in the cafe to get some work done!
