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.

School’s almost out ☀️ While Woodland was created with ages 0–6 in mind, one of our favorite things is seeing the big siblings settle in and make themselves at home too 🤍 Lock in a summer membership and have a place to start your mornings, escape the heat, and wind down long afternoons all summer long ✨ #nashvillesummer #nashvillekids #playcafe #eastnashville #nashvillemomsButton
