Gathered Play + Create

I’ve been to The Amsden coffee shop a handful of times, but this was my first time stepping into the Gathered Play & Create area and I’m officially obsessed. 🥹✨ I went for their very first children’s book swap, and the whole space felt like walking into a storybook that decided to open a coffee shop and play area. The atmosphere is whimsical, cozy, and sprinkled with the kind of nostalgia that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile. And the little shop? Dangerous. In the best way. I absolutely spent more than I planned, but somehow walked out feeling victorious with the cutest haul of treasures. Zero regrets. 💸🛍️ The themed play spaces are next level. The detail that goes into them is incredible, and honestly… I wish grown-ups were allowed to play too because they look like pure ma

This adorable coffee shop is straight out of a fairy tale! My daughter absolutely loved playing in the play area, and the coffee was delicious! There is clearly a lot of thought behind the charming decor, the arts/crafts and snacks for the kids, and the menu is well-rounded. We will definitely be back!

We love the play cafe. It’s one of our favorite places to go for indoor fun. The space is uniquely designed to peak the interest of toddlers with toys in every nook and cranny. Along with themed sections. It’s small and intimate and nice space for kids who don’t do well in large crowds or have sensory overload. My one year old loves coming here. Plus the coffee and snacks are great and the space is SO cute.

We loved our first Play + Create session at The Amsden! The atmosphere was so sweet and like a dreamland for a child. We especially loved the Flower Shop and the themed snacks. The staff were so welcoming and helpful. We will most definitely be booking again.

2nd time we went here, i got one of their christmas lattes again, and still not great. No flavor and can’t taste the espresso. All I can taste is warm frothed milk. Very nice ambiance for my little one though. Nice bathroom with changing table! However, be careful with the play space, some sockets were not covered and can be reached/crawled into by little ones. For what I paid for, I’m surprised the parents were expected to clean up after themselves after playtime. Totally fine, but maybe don’t charge $16/2 hr if we are the ones to clean everything up. Great snacks/fruits available and appreciate the wipes and sanitizer available!
