A fresh haven for families, Kids & Coffee, is poised to open its doors on November 9, transforming an expansive 11,500-square-foot office space into a dynamic indoor playground and community center for children aged 0-8 and their caregivers.
Nestled at 2310 Camino Vida Roble, Ste 101, Kids & Coffee aims to offer a distinctive fusion of imaginative play for children and a tranquil retreat for adults. Co-founders Vivian Ho and Ken Li, both long-time residents of San Diego, drew inspiration for this innovative space from their own parenting experiences during the pandemic, which highlighted the scarcity of safe, enriching play environments for their daughter.
“Kids & Coffee is more than just a playground; we’ve crafted an elevated experience that provides a secure and creative environment for children while also serving as a supportive haven for caregivers,” Ho explained. “Our vision is to revolutionize the typical playground experience by presenting a beautifully designed space created by award-winning playground designers that engages children while allowing adults to unwind.”
Key Features of Kids & Coffee
Children will delight in a diverse array of play structures, including a mini grocery store, soft play zones, parkour adventure elements, and sensory spaces. The facility boasts an impressive ball pit containing 23,000 balls and multiple slides, ensuring endless fun for young visitors.
Meanwhile, caregivers can indulge in specialty coffee from Mostra Coffee, complemented by light refreshments such as fresh pastries, sandwiches, teas, and lattes. The thoughtful design of the facility includes quiet rooms where caregivers and children can take a break, as well as dedicated areas for nursing, bottle-feeding, and milk storage.
Kids & Coffee also features private event spaces available for family celebrations, birthday parties, and workshops. An in-house event planning team will assist in creating comprehensive and tailored experiences for guests.
Community-Focused Programming
Recognizing the needs of today’s families, Kids & Coffee will offer a variety of programming that includes seasonal events and workshops addressing topics such as IVF journeys, postpartum depression, baby-led weaning, and potty training. A dedicated family support team will be on hand to foster connections among parents, ensuring that visitors leave with more than just memories of play.
Addressing Local Needs
Recent studies indicate that 51% of parents in San Diego encounter difficulties in securing parenting support, while a staggering 75% of children are not receiving adequate playtime. In response, Kids & Coffee aims to bridge this gap by providing an enriching play environment coupled with a supportive space for caregivers.
Convenient Location for Families
Situated in the family-centric North County area, Kids & Coffee is conveniently located less than 10 minutes from Legoland and just a mile from McClellan-Palomar Airport. The facility offers ample free parking, making it an inviting hub for families in the region.
Kids & Coffee will operate daily from 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Pricing begins at $30 for a two-hour pass, with monthly memberships available starting at $150. For further details, interested families can visit www.kidsandcoffee.co.
