What a cute spot to take your little one to! I brought my 2 year old to their story time with bunnies event! The kiddos were all able to feed the bunnies carrots/lettuce while listening to the book reading. Will definitely be coming back so my son can play with all of the toys there while I sit back and enjoy a cup of tea. The aesthetic of the cafe/store is beautiful and you can get distracted by all of the unique products available for purchase. Kits is lucky to have a new kid friendly store in the neighborhood.

We hosted a 3rd birthday party here, with 9 toddlers and 15 adults attending. It was a lovely experience. Nikki and her staff were so communicative and helpful with suggestions for catering and set up. The venue really went above and beyond with thoughtful customized touches to fit the party theme. The cafe itself is engaging but calming. Every child and adult had a wonderful time. Would definitely recommend for birthdays and events!

Perfect intimate private space for your events!!! Full service setup/clean up by Nikki and she’s so amazing to work with, making busy mom life party planning so fun and easy! All I did was bring food and goodie bags! She is ready with speakers for music and projector for visuals to fit any theme!! And added special details I didn’t even think of like personalized coloring pages (has bday boy’s name for tracing) for guests and a personalized birthday sign. Layout is perfect for letting the kiddos play and go wild while adults can sit, eat and relax with clear view of all the kids. I was even late to our own party and Nikki was a great host while I was away Only thing maybe on regular days it’s tea/coffees and small treats available as a cafe (not a bad thing just FYI in case you’re looking for heavier meals)!

Updating since we just had my daughter’s 2nd birthday here and it was THE BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!! Nikki is a gem!!!! She helped plan everything, gave me recs for catering, and even put together gift bags for each kid. Every little detail was perfect — my daughter’s name on the chalkboard, personalized coloring pages, and little details throughout to go with our theme. As a working parent, being able to just show up and have the party be this amazing was truly a gift to myself do yourself a favor and have your kid’s next birthday here — This place is a dream come true for parents! My toddler loves the play area and all the different toys. Everything is soft and safe, it’s nice to not have to follow her around the play area. I love the counter tops where parents can sit and take a moment to sip tea/coffee or get some work done etc. I’m really so thankful this place exists!

We had a blast at Petite Forêt Play today! My little guy absolutely loved it, and I really enjoyed being able to relax and drink a hot tea while he played. Not having to worry about him getting into anything he isn’t supposed to was such a great feeling! This was our first visit, but we will be back soon. Very excited about the fact it’s pet friendly, Luis was so cute and my son adored his attention!! The books/and stuff they have for sale are super cute and reasonably priced.

This is such a cute place to visit! I highly recommend it. The owner is lovely and has created such a beautiful atmosphere. It is very clean, inviting and fun. You can also browse their store front with such a cute and unique selection of products. There is tons to do for little ones with a variety of toys and activities. They also offer bunny birthdays and story times with the bunnies that take place at the café which are so fun to bring your little ones to!

I finally got to visit Petitr Foret Play Cafe with my little one. First of all, the coffee tastes amazing and the tables are perfect spot to watch your little one play. We were able to attend their “Bunny Cafe” Event and my little one got to meet the bunnies. There was story time in between. It was a great experience and my little one had so much fun. Will definitely be back soon!

Came here the other day to play and the service was lovely but drinks/snacks were completely lacking. The atmosphere is beautiful and children really love it. The toys and books were in a bit of disrepair, but not the climbing toys which was good. We came at opening time but the building was freezing. We stayed until 11 and the temperature didn’t change at all. This is definitely something they should take into account as there are toddlers and babies in there who are usually temperature sensitive (my kiddo definitely is) The toys seemed to be age appropriate for babies and toddlers from 1.5-3 but any older kids might be bored and any infants younger than 1 the toys wouldn’t be considered safe (choking wise). I really wish they played other music besides brain rot blippi songs (and similar)… my ears were glad to leave by the end of it. I understand it’s a play cafe for children but I can confirm 9/10 the kids don’t even notice the music the adults do.
