Great little Play Cafe. There are little shops/houses to play in with very well looked after and maintained toys. There is a builder's area, hairdresser, shop/ Cafe and laundrette. Loads for the kids to play with and explore. It is £6 per child for an hour slot. Food is reasonably priced; 2 x coke zero, 1 x sausage roll and 1 x cinnamon bun for £9.60. Very friendly staff.

We always enjoy our visits to Southsea Play Cafe. There are toys for little ones, a sensory room and the role play areas. What makes the cafe great is the layout so children can explore the different sections safely and you can easily keep an eye on them. Food is tasty, lots of high chairs and comfy chairs to nurse in. Friendly staff too. Well worth a visit!

My DIL took me with my two granddaughters, one aged 18 months and 9. This a lovely place, with seating, themed play ares, and a sensory room. It's spotlessly clean and has a great vibe. There is a cafe bar with reasonably priced beverages and snacks. It has been very well planned by I believe two mums. There are lots of additional events taking place. Thoroughly recommend

We stopped here on the way home from a weekend away and were thrilled with our visit! Perfect for our 19 month old & 3 1/2 year old. Lovely, friendly staff. Reasonably priced, great food. Fun, clean role play zones and toys. Would thoroughly recommend, wish we lived closer!

I love this cafe so much! I don’t feel anxious going in knowing that everybody will understand if my little one starts screaming. My little boy (4 months) probably doesn’t know where he is but he enjoys the sensory room and falls asleep there every time! The changing rooms also has nappies and wipes which is a nice touch. Amazing cappuccino and brownies too!
