A CAFÉ EXPERIENCE YOU’LL GENUINELY ENJOY

The café at Tiny Roots Play Café was designed to feel just as welcoming for adults as the play space is for children.

We’re proud to partner with a beloved local Polish bakery owned by a Wayne family, a place we've been visiting for years. Their fresh, handcrafted pastries will be available at Tiny Roots, bringing a little taste of tradition and heritage to our café.

“Tiny Roots Play Café is everything I’ve been searching for as a mum. It’s not just a place for my child to play, it’s a space where we both feel calm, welcomed and genuinely looked after. My daughter was completely engaged, and for the first time in a long time, I actually got to sit down, enjoy a coffee and connect with another parent. It’s beautiful, thoughtful and so needed in our community.”
