Well then dont go there. Im sure theres come economics involved, and im sure they dont want to charge for that, but the truth is there are bills to pay and people have to live. So why dont you take your kid to Chuckie cheese where they can eat pizza and get fat...Big buy

actually, the $3 for kids to play somehow perfectly suits this newly arrived, mommy blogging pile o' leslieville silliness. infant hammocks indeed. the end of civilization, and the end of the neighbourhood.

Its probably more the case that you need to spend a min. of $3 on something in the cafe for your kid to play. So you can't just let your kid play while you don't buy something.

Just went to the cafe this morning for the first time with my baby. Their charge of $3 is justified (in addition to coffee, by the way) - the place is beautiful, the toys and books in good repair and a pleasant place to spend an hour with the little one.

My 2 year old son and I went with a friend of mine last Sunday. It was brilliant to be able to sit and have a latte and a chat and be able to see my son playing happily in my periphery. Toronto is so in need of more places like this. I wish there was one in the Bloor West area; you can be sure there are enough moms, dads and caregivers that would frequent the joint. I take my boy there when I want to have a gourmet coffee and a conversation and know that he is having fun and safe. It`s also nice that the other folks who go there also have kids and there are no raised eyebrows from those of the ``kids should be seen and not heard`` variety. The other adults there are just as glad to you to be out having a coffee and a bite to eat, while their child is able to socialize with other children. The more the merrier. Hurry up and open a chain in the west end, won`t you???

We went today and it was great.

It was kind of like those indoor playgrounds that charge $10 a kid. Except, there are nice places to sit, lots of food options, and really good coffee.

My partner and I were there and it did still cost us around $10, but I got a latte (unheard of at an indoor playground) and he got a coffee, and our son got to play with all the really fun cool stuff there.

I mean, I enjoy a good Jet Fuel latte as much as the next person, but it was pretty cool to be able to sit on a couch inside an area that is gated off from the tables and not have to do any chasing at all. I just got to enjoy my latte and watch my toddler explore.

Yay for lil bean n green!

Price is now $4 for the play area - a total rip off. Can't believe they charge for this puny area of run down toys and limited activity offerings. Have been twice and not impressed with either the food or the staff. Will not be returning.

I don't know why there's this grumbling about charging kids to play...even the city-run indoor playgrounds charge a fee. All indoor playgrounds charge you, some charge a heckuva lot more than $4, and serve crappy food to boot. So this place is a decided improvement.

Great cafe. My daughters both love it (especially the treehouse).

Just put on the DineSafe list for health violations. Some infractions were serious.
