    Arranged a play date here for our 4-year olds and they had a great time. The play facility is very clean and organized. Our girls especially enjoyed the playground and costume/dress up area. They had unique toys and sensory activities that I have not seen at other play areas. They even had interactive story time! After the girls were settled, the mom friends stepped into the café, had quality conversations that we usually never get at play dates while enjoying coffee from Moongoat Roasters. This was definitely a highlight for us! We also got 10% off our coffees. Make sure you arrive early to your reservation and make time for parking and finding the location. We arrived 10 minutes late and by the time we checked in and took off our shoes we had an hour and forty minutes left. They are strict and make sure everyone leaves at their assigned time. While we enjoyed our time, $30 a child for two hours is not in my budget. So unfortunately, we won't be coming often. But enjoy the experience and grab a cup of coffee while your kids have fun!

    Pretty pricey for how small the play area is. I had a 3 year old and a 15 month old - both were entertained and happy for the entire 2 hour session; but there was definitely more for my 15 month old rather than for my older child. Safe environment and lots of interactive play areas. Unfortunately the Coffee is from MOONGOAT COFFEE ROASTERS (a place that I am not a big fan of... super bitter coffee)... otherwise I would've purchased a latte ),: Overall, a good spot for indoor play and we would come again but not often because of the pricing and lack of more play space.

    This review is for a private birthday event we hosted for my daughter and niece, and I truly cannot say enough good things about Check N Play. From start to finish, this was the most stress-free birthday party experience I've ever hosted. All I had to do was send one inspiration photo and a color palette, and everything came to life exactly how I envisioned it, without any back-and-forth at all (which says a lot, because I'm VERY picky when it comes to design). I'll admit, I was a little nervous at first about the lack of back-and-forth. As a Korean mom who's used to working with Korean event stylists where we collaborate on designs for months, I wasn't sure what the final outcome would be. But wow, my worries disappeared the moment I walked in. The setup was super cute and beautifully done. I especially loved the addition of the balloons on the table with the birthday girls' names on them. The Dot Affair package includes the backdrop, balloon garland, table decor, and even mini party favors for all the kids, which made planning completely hassle-free. Food and drinks aren't included, but that actually gave us flexibility in choosing what we wanted. The staff even met us at the loading dock with carts to help transport everything, which was incredibly helpful. The play area was clean, well organized, and the kids had an absolute blast. There were a handful of play attendants (surprisingly more than I expected) engaging with the children, and each one of them was so kind and attentive. I was initially concerned the play area might be too small, but it was actually perfect for our private party (around 30 adults and 25 kids). It felt like a room full of love, and all of our guests, both adults and kid, had an amazing time. Last but not least, the birthday girls even received a small gift from Steffanie, the owner, which was a cute picture book she wrote herself. Thought this was pretty cool. Overall, I am beyond satisfied. This was not only a fun and memorable celebration, but also beautifully styled and completely stress-free. I would highly recommend Check N Play for anyone looking to host an elevated, seamless birthday party. Thank you everyone! :)

    Best Matcha Latte in Brea

    This matcha completely reset my expectations. It somehow goes beyond ceremonial grade--silky smooth, zero bitterness, and incredibly balanced. The color alone tells you everything: vibrant, luminous green, the kind you rarely see unless it's truly high quality. Clean, rich flavor with a soft umami finish. Thought I knew great matcha... turns out I didn't. Thank you Emilio for the whimsical experience!

    It's hard to grab coffee, catch up with friends, or even have a full conversation when you have toddlers with you--but this place makes it possible. It's the perfect spot for friends with little ones to meet up. We were able to relax and talk while enjoying coffee outside at the café. The play area isn't a typical "gym" setup; instead, it features thoughtfully curated STEM-based toys that really engage the kids. There's also a designated art room, which is a great touch. Attendants are present throughout the space keeping an eye on the children. I can also see this being a wonderful venue for birthday parties. While I don't live close by, it's great to have the option to leave your kids to play for an hour while you shop.

    Our first visit here and my kids had a blast! You check in and have a 2 hour play period, there are many different activities and different play areas. My 5 year old loved the construction area they have and my 3 year old had a blast in the art room. They have a cafe right outside so you can leave your kids inside with the play staff if you want to take a couple of minutes to get some coffee and a pastry. I had a coffee before our play time began but even after asking to have it remade twice it was not good so next time i'll skip the cafe and just go into the play area.

    Love this new indoor play space, which has imaginative play, arts, and a fun slide and climb structure for kids. We visited over my kid's winter break several times and it was a life savior for my 3 year old since it rained nearly everyday. The coffee was also great (a huge plus for tired parents ), and the overall vibe was welcoming and you could really relax in the cafe area. We felt the care attendants were really nice. When my kid was upset at one point, they checked in and asked if she wanted anything (they offered a hot chocolate for her!). One small note: it was a little hard to find at first since it's inside the mall, but once you know where it is, it's totally easy to find. Hint: across from Zara.

    I have to say after reading some of these negative reviews I'm a little shocked. You can tell the owners put their heart and soul into this place and it shows. The front cafe is very nicely done and the check in area was simple. We signed waivers in advance which I highly suggest. There is also a coloring area for the kids when you check in. That way parents can focus on signing up and paying while the kids entertain themselves and color. A very nice and thoughtful touch! The coffee was incredible. The owner said they source the coffee from a local roaster in Costa Mesa. I got the lavender latte and it was one of the best lattes I've had! The food was great too, we got a couple flatbreads for the kids to share and they loved the cheese and pepperoni flat breads. My wife and I sat down with some friends while the kids played in the play room. It's not that large of a space but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. The difference between Check N Play and say a place like Candeeland is the imaginative side. Check N Play the kids really use their imagination with costume dress up, dedicated art space etc. our kids had an absolute blast and were exhausted after the 2 hours was up. All the workers and attendants were very nice and they also did a great job and interacting with the kids and they all have radios to communicate. Only thing I would suggest is getting some hand sanitizer stations but the play entrance and exit so kids and parents can easily clean hands when leaving to and from the play area and cafe. Overall we had an excellent experience and we will definitely be back. Our kids were so tired after and couldn't wait to go back!

The ambiance being inside is wonderful so spaceish does not feel closed in. You can come for a meeting , date , study or even catch up on assignments. Everyone there is super friendly. Now the coffee AMAZING !!!!! I get the cookie butter latte iced. Hands down the best cookie butter I've had. What has made me write this review is if you place an order online they won't put the ice until after you arrive at the pick up counter. I love this due to the coffee not ending up being diluted. I've never enter a coffee shop that does this and by far enjoy that. It shows they take pride in their coffee beans. I also get the banana nut bread. By far the best bread I've ever had.

I got the cookie butter latte and it has a distinct biscoff flavor to it, which I loved. Both drinks didn't have much of the coffee flavor, but they were both delicious and quite sweet. They have a lot of other drink options too and they seem to have a seasonal menu that changes occasionally (sadly missed the s'mores latte). Service was good too.

Whether you need a strong cup of coffee to start the day or a perfectly made matcha, this spot absolutely delivers on both drink quality and an exceptional community feel. The Good The coffee here is strong but not too acidic, making it perfect for any day of the week. Their matcha is also fantastic; the bitterness is completely whisked out, and the full flavor is there whether you get pure leaf or a mixed drink (even if they don't make the microfoam right in front of you, or maybe I just never noticed!). The absolute best part, though, is their top-tier customer service. The Bad Honestly, I have nothing bad to say about this place! If I had to nitpick, I guess I haven't noticed them making the matcha microfoam right in front of me, but considering how perfect the drinks come out, it doesn't even matter. Personal Thoughts/Experience My wife goes all the time, usually picking it up after her morning workout, but I only drop in once in a blue moon. However, the one time I went in alone and completely blanked on my wife's drink, the staff knew exactly who I was and actually noticed when I made a mistake on her usual order. They fixed it for me and literally saved me an argument when I got home whoops. You just can't beat that kind of personalized, lifesaver service!
