Searching for a Play Cafe Near Me? Why Families Love Our Play Cafe

If you’ve ever searched “Play Café Near Me” while juggling your toddler, your coffee, and your sanity, welcome. You’ve just found your new favorite spot.


At Play Café at Judson Mill, we set out to build something special: a place where children can run, climb, imagine, and play, while parents sip a cappuccino, take a breath, and actually enjoy the moment.


This isn’t just a playground. It’s not just a café. It’s the perfect blend of both—and it was born out of real, everyday parenting struggles.


“Owners Austin Motes and Daniel Kingsbury are both dads with little kids. They acutely understand the challenge of finding fun, safe, and affordable places for their kids to play indoors, but not at the expense of the sanity of the parents.”


What Makes Play Café at Judson Mill Different?


You don’t just want a “play café near me.” You want one that gets it. Here’s why families across Greenville are choosing us:


1. A Beautifully Designed Indoor Playground Near You


From toddlers to early teens, our indoor play space is designed for safety, creativity, and inclusion. We’re talking:


  • Soft play areas and climbing walls

  • A sensory-friendly setup for neurodivergent children

  • Imagination-based zones that rotate with new themes

  • Secure entry/exit points for extra peace of mind


Everything’s sanitized daily and grip socks are required—because clean play is safe play.


2. A Full-Service Coffee Shop for Grown-Ups


Yes, really. While the kids explore, you can sit back and enjoy a Methodical Coffee espresso or smoothie, made-to-order pizza, or snacks from local vendors.


Our café is designed for parents to relax, not just sit and supervise. That means comfy seating, free Wi-Fi, and a space that feels as much like a boutique café as it does a family spot.


“They saw the need for a massive indoor space that allows parents to work and where their kids can get out energy and play.”
