Play/Cafe

This unique business for parents with young children is owned by local parents of young children Michelle and Matt D. It will feature wood structures to climb and slide down, a custom train set, playhouses for the kids to use their imaginations in the best ways possible, and even be a special area for the 0-24 month babes. Parents can relax on the edge of the play area and cafe or join in with their kids and have some fun.

But What About the Cafe?

Coffee is their passion so they have been working with local company Basalt Roasters to create an exceptional artisan coffee menu that will also include a variety of paninis and of course dino nuggets for the kids and more. You will be able to rent party space, create time for yourself to enjoy wifi and friendship while the kids up to about six years of age will be having such a blast they'll be begging you to come back.

Where and When?

Located inside The Orchard Shopping Center, 120 S 72nd Ave Ste 100, Yakima, WA 98908, the spot used to be a mattress store so there has been a major remodel taking place. You can follow Play/Cafe on social media to follow along with progress reports and if all goes to plan, they should be up and running by the end of February or March. Also, subscribe to their email list and get a free coffee! https://playcafeyakima.com

Memberships and Events

This isn't the same as a free playground atmosphere, there will be actual memberships that can be purchased that include perks and sneak peeks of upcoming events. There's really nothing like enjoying a treat with friends and now you'll be able to get your coffee fix and a bit of a breather while the kids burn some of that extra energy.

Below is the interview with owners Melissa and Matt and truly looking forward to checking out this brand new business to hit the Yakima Valley.

LOOK: Best Beers From Every State

To find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time. BeerAdvocate makes its determinations by compiling consumer ratings for all 50 states and Washington D.C. and applying a weighted rank to each. The weighted rank pulls the beer toward the list's average based on the number of ratings it has and aims to allow lesser-known beers to increase in rank. Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery.
