Great place to take my toddler while traveling. The coffee was really good and the atmosphere was perfect. There were so many toys and activities for my two year old. He kept busy and content. Great place for mommas read more

I tried out this location for the first time with my grandson. The service was fine and friendly. Their lattes are pretty good and they have a variety of food and snacks as well. Inspired Play Cafe always has nicer wooden Montessori type of toys and learning games. I have typically gone to the Merriam location as it is closer but they are just going to have this location remain open. The owner is very nice and welcoming and she is updating and always rotating items for it to remain fresh for clients. They also have new and cheaper monthly fee which is a great deal. It is a nice atmosphere but they do need to remember to keep the music playlist playing as it is nice to relax to. The only reason I gave this location a 4 was because when I first entered the play area it was a complete disaster. There were only 2 parents at the time but they never picked up after their kids and it was hard to find matching toy items as they were everywhere. This is not typical of the Merriam location so it's probably just an issue today. They might want to suggest to parents to pick up after their child once they leave a specific area. I ended up picking the place up because the parents left and then it was more obvious to my grandson and other kids that came what toys there were available in each area. read more

A fun indoor playground geared towards infants-7yo. Food is quick, good, but a little pricey for the value. Service is efficient and non intrusive. read more

I am in town visiting my in laws and I was looking for things to do with my almost 1.5 year old. He's very active and I didn't want him to stuck at my in laws all week. We have been exploring different toddler friendly areas and play cafes in the area. I love that this is only 10 minutes away from my in laws house! Super close which is a nice plus. I prepaid online, and wasn't sure how big it would be or anything. It was pretty busy when we got there. Check in was super easy since we did everything online including the waiver. There are no shoes allowed in the play area, which was fine. Everything was clean and I loved that they had a basket for toys that needed to be sanitized. We arrived later than we had planned but it worked out in our favor. It cleared out before we left since it was nap time. It was nice and quiet before we left. Lots of unique toys I have no seen before. And everyone was so nice! Such a cute concept! SO many toys. My son had so much fun playing and walking around and exploring the room. We didn't get to try the food. But I did get a drink and it was delicious. I got the chocolate chai with oatmilk. It was nice to have a drink while watching my son play. It was a nice way to get out. It wore my son out. He was so exhausted afterwards, which was a win for us. We will definitely be back during our next visit to town. read more

absolutely adore this place, the hours are so great for afterschool play! the prices are very friendly especially since they don't charge for adults it's very affordable. only reason they lose a star from me is because the toys are quiet run down, when the other location closed i assumed some of the toys would be moved and maybe get a refresh but they didn't! other than that we absolutely love this place! read more

What a cool concept! We came here for a birthday party that was supposed to be held in a park in June and then when the temp hit triple digits they pivoted to this space. We hadn't heard of it but it was SO FUN for our two year old, we made a mental note to remember it exists for the future. Imagine a cafe blended with a montessori school and you get this place. Part upscale fast casual restaurant, part play place. I especially loved how clean and contemporary everything felt. Only real negative was there was a shelf with random things on it that said they weren't to be played with which was odd to me, aside from that, it was great. I'll have to come by again to try out some of their food! read more

Inspired Play Cafe - children playing in the playroom - Cafes Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

I went here just visiting out of town for the day. And I went in the lady was so nice and I talked to some other parents there. There were so many different play stations there my son had a good time it was he first birthday. The coffee was good and I'll definitely be planning to go there again when visiting. read more

I took my out-of-town grandkids to Inspired Play on August 19th- 5 year old twin girls and a 6 year old boy --all high energy /. I prepaid approximately $43 and planned on staying about 90 minutes for them to play and run off some steam. Upon arriving, I realized this was a nice play spot for toddlers and much younger children to explore and play in a safe, clean environment while parents or caregivers could relax and enjoy a cup of Java and a snack. --but not a place for children over the age of three. I patiently waited to express to Bianca , the owner, that I had made a mistake and would appreciate a refund as we had not yet entered the play area--and this area would not work for my grandkids--they were too old . Bianca advised me she had a no refund policy no matter the circumstances. There was still plenty of room in the play area and my grandkids' tickets had not prevented others from signing up to come to play - She would not refund me . Bianca and I agreed to disagree, and my grand-kids and I left. As the owner, Bianca did email me later that night to apologize for my disappointment -but she again offered no refund at all. She followed her published refund policy, but I want to warn others : Inspired Play is not age-appropriate for any child over 3 in my opinion. It is advertised for children up to 9 years of age on her website and social media. I feel you will be disappointed for any child's experience over three. I would recommend you take a visit prior to paying for a session for older children - It seems nice for younger children to play quietly and for adults to relax read more

Inspired Play Cafe is not only esthetically pleasing, it's a wonderful place for children to explore, create, and play! The coffee is on point, and the staff are wonderful. The owner Bianca has done an incredible job and we can't say enough good things! 5 stars! read more

Awesome locally owned business! The staff and owner are all incredibly kind. I always feel at ease even here even when my kids are having a tough day. I also love how they change up the Montessori set up often so that the kids never get bored. read more

Fantastic place for littles to have creative thinking and just be kids! Tip: make sure to check their website ahead of time to see if the time slot you want to go is open. They have time slots every 2 hrs with a clean up time in between. We just tried the coffee this day but it was great! I love that your also able to get food while there incase your child gets hungry in the middle of playing. The play area is gated off so kids can't run out the door. And in the "dinning" area they have markers and paper to make crafts. This place really has thought of it all and my daughter didn't want to leave when our time was up! 5 stars! read more

Owner is very sweet and friendly. My boys loved it there and they loves their pastries as well!

Only for families with babies and toddlers not for adults looking for a quiet coffee.

What a gem in Overland Park! The staff is always amazing every time I go in. They provide quality customer service and always go above and beyond to ensure our time there is pleasant. The food is amazing! I typically order breakfast with the kids and we always finish our plates. My husband and I even stop in for take out for lunch without the kids because of the quality and healthy options available. I love starting my morning with Inspired Play Cafe. My kids get to interact with educational toys while I enjoy coffee and relax. What a great way to start the day. So happy we found it! read more

I absolutely adore this place. Babies are social creatures, and I feel that on the days when we manage to visit "the play café" as we call it that my toddler is much more content for the rest of the day; I swear she even sleeps better at night. I feel really good about treating us to the monthly membership, which at ~$50 a month to me feels like a bargain because I know that playing with new toys we don't have at home and interacting with other kids her age is really good for my daughter's development. The coffee and food is good too, fresh and healthy. Every time we come in, I instantly feel more relaxed, and it feels especially good to put away my phone (except when taking cute photos of my daughter playing of course) and the concerns of the day and just sit and play with my daughter and be present. I also really like the people I meet here. As almost any stay-at-home mom can attest, sometimes we just have to get out of the house and be around other people, and sometimes it feels difficult to do that, to go out somewhere that both of us can enjoy, especially without spending a lot of money each time. I just can't say enough good things about this place. All I know is that I feel it is one of those family-owned businesses that makes a real difference in the world. I only wish we had joined it sooner! read more
