Cafe Sip and Play

Don't go here unless you want your child sick. My daughter and granddaughter went here 4 times and every time got sick! Even with washing their hands thoroughly, they would get sick after playing here! I posted a negative comment on Facebook, but they quickly deleted it! Also another negative is the helicopter parents. There was no room for the kids to play there were so many adults in the play area. more

My two daughters (3 and 5) love coming here to play, and so do I. I've tried various play cafes around Portland but haven't found anything nearly as nice or well set up as Cafe Sip-N-Play. I drive almost 30 minutes once per week to get there (just wish there was one closer to me in Oregon City!). I love the layout of the place - almost everyone can see the play area perfectly from their table and I almost always end up in a casual chat with another mom or grandparent. I love that I can sip a good latte while allowing my girls have fun in the play area. They have wi-fi and I've managed to read a couple of books or flick through a magazine fairly relaxingly (I have high maintenance kids!) since going there. I just love this place. Like I said, I only wish there was a Cafe Sip-N-Play closer to home...but then I'd probably be there every other day! Pros: Good coffee, great food and an excellent place for kids Cons: So far away from where we live! more
