Our Story
Woodland Play Cafe was created from both a dream and a need - the need for a family-friendly space in the city. A place where adults can unwind, connect with their community, and children can play, learn, and explore in a space designed just for them. It’s a little like visiting your best friend’s house: cozy, welcoming, and relaxed. A place where you can catch up over coffee while knowing your little ones are having just as much fun.

A little #BTS of Smith learning the latte process - weighing coffee, pressing buttons, and soaking up every second. ☕️✨ He’s so interested in the business and gets so excited to learn right alongside me. Thank you for all the love this Small Business Saturday. Every purchase helps me chase a dream and teach my kids that anything is possible with heart and hustle. #playcafe #nashville #eastnashville #woodlandplaycafeButton
