Maybe your home is full of peace and serenity, and you walk into our play cafe fully regulated. If so, we love that for you!

In our experience, parenthood is full of chaos, fun, high highs, and low lows. At Recess, we want you to bring it all! Sit down with a book and a glass of wine while your kid plays or make a fort in our play area and soak up some family time. Even better, do both!

Whatever you need our space for, you’re welcome here!
