An incredibly adorable indoor playground for your little ones to enjoy. They had a beautiful space that seemed very well cared for and clean. Located on the west side and there was quite a bit of parking available. But it was crowded in the cafe and even the playhouse was quite busy. They said they limit the number of kids in the space and you have to pre-book your 60 minute time slot. 60 minutes flew by! And it felt like we didn't get quite enough time to explore and really appreciate all the little houses and details. But that must be the allure of going again! Our babies favourite activities at the playhouses were the slide and the little play restaurant. The slide was busy and tight quartered. But the little stairs and crash section at the bottom were well placed. The play restaurant was good great, they had all the condiments and so many cute plastic food items for a variety of kids to play with. I recall one kid yelling out 'Ice Cream, Ice Cream'. So fun! There was also costumes, a colouring station, suction building blocks, a wooden play body/operation table. The baby area also looked nice, cozy and with some great stimulating toys. It's a bit pricey and it's too bad it's only a 60 minute booking but in February they had a 1/2 price deal so for just under $5 I felt like that wasn't too bad to check it out. If you do get to check out the cafe I would recommend their signature blue Butterfly Pea latte- it was super sweet and creamy and delightful. read more

As we were heading west towards Jasper from Edmonton, we were in search of a nice vegan option for breakfast/lunch on our way out of town and discovered this great little place. Cute little place in a residential neighbourhood, all-vegan, run by a friendly woman. I phoned in our order (curry tofu wrap and tofu scramble wrap) and came to pick it up half an hour later -- the woman sure was persistent over the phone about upselling me add-ons to our order. ;-) When we arrived, the wraps were ready, and we got some spanikopitas and coffees for the road. Both our wraps were very tasty and certainly filling. When it came time for our afternoon snacks, the spanikopitas turned out to be amazing. I never really liked spanikopitas before I went vegan, but this vegan rendition was amazing -- the tofu/spinach filling was delicious, the pastry was delectable but rather oily, and the dip it came with was the perfect accompaniment. This was a gem of a place and I'll definitely return when in Edmonton. read more

I really enjoyed my first visit to Sweet Pea. At present, the playhouse does not open until September so I will review only the cafe. The cafe is plant based, making life easy for this lactose intolerant girl! They have both Sweet and savoury treats, along with smoothies and coffee. They also have drinks with Evoolution oils in them but I wasn't brace enough to try. I tried their cinnamon bun and Sandy's Cookie. Both were delicious! The bun was crisp on the outside but soft and puffy on the inside. The cookie was full of flavour, both sweet and nutty. My friend had coffee and said it was a great. There was a great selection of dairy free milks to choose from as well. She also had an orange bergamot cake. The place is gorgeous, especially the painted menu and decor. It feels very trendy and homey at the same time. They also have spots just for kids to be at while their parents have a coffee. I look forward to going back for savoury food, and to seeing the playhouse completed! read more

I'm really excited about this, and I don't even have kids. First of all, Sweet Pea is split into three general parts; The cafe that serves up everything plant based which goes from lattes, baked goods, ranging from entrees and even NICE cream. Right next door is where the fun starts, a huge area with different stations and activities for the kiddies to play. We got a sneak peak to see this area before they did their grand opening and goodness! SO MUCH FUN. The planning and preparation in this sace in unreal, they're thinking of having 15 kids come in for an hour each time and in between each intake they'll have time to clean up for the next bunch. This means, each kiddie coming in will be able to play with anything and everything rather than waiting around for a space to open up. And keeping the whole area clean and safe and as organized as it could be. Further back is the "workshop" /meeting room. This- I'm assuming is where classes will be for all the mommys, who will be served snacks and treats while attending any of the events going on. We all know that i'm far from pushing plant based foods into my daily food intake so my review comes from a very biased front. With that being said, I really enjoyed both desserts and I can't even describe how happy I am that Greta pushed the oat milk for me to try. BECAUSE GOOD LORD, OAT MILK IS THE TRAIN I'M HOPPING ON. When I get my usual latte with nonfat milk, there's that heavy after taste from that steamed milk but with oat milk, the crisp coffee is all you're tasting. Man, favorite. Strawberry Vanilla Fields Forever Cake ($6.50) This is the dessert I will be coming back for time and time again, the topped icing is salted which goes really well with the sponge cake itself. Not to mention how pretty it looks. We also tried the Cinnamon Bun ($4.50) which I would have liked icing with to soak up a little more into the dough itself. They've taken to account on what Edmonton was lacking and took the idea of bringing in an upscale play area to merge into a cafe where moms can come in with their babes and spend the day, while the cafe is as welcoming as ever for anyone to come by. Literally a gem on the West end you guys have to check out. Be sure to say Hi to Greta, when you're subbing in that oat milk! **play area set to open November 1st! Does anyone have a baby I can borrow so I can sneak into the play area? Will definitely be back. Totally recommend! read more

High-end toddler play space! I never thought I'd put the words high-end and toddler in the same sentence. It's so fitting. I've been listening to all the mommy hype about this place and it was all true. This place was amazing!! First and foremost - make a reservation for the play space! It's a must to get in. You can call your reservation in or place your reservation online. It's pricey. 8.95 per kids over the age of 1.....for an HOUR of play. Here's why the price is worth it. The space is impeccably clean. There are appointment times for play starting at 9AM. After each hour of play, the staff comes through for a full half hour and cleans up the space. When you show up for your appointment time your kids come into a perfectly clean and sanitized set up space. They can pretend to be a doctor! Or a teacher! Or they can shop for groceries, or cook in a diner! The spaces are amazing. The decor? I want the decorator to come to my house. The decor is trendy, kid friendly and modern. I felt like I was hanging out in someone's awesome house. The bathrooms were downright gorgeous and had change tables. So what to do while your kids run around? Eat and drink! This establishment offers VEGAN treats. My soy latte was on point. So was my vegan made-on-site-from-scratch cinnamon roll. My child ate a vegan cheese quesadilla. I never had vegan cheese until today. I ate more of the quesadilla than my child!! The food and drink are so amazing here. The best part - you don't need kids to enjoy this space. There is a cafe attached that requires no planning to attend. Just come and enjoy! Plenty of parking right out front. So, we will be back! My only critique is that for myself and my two children I spent close to 30 dollars for an hour of entertainment. But wow did I enjoy myself. read more

Just got back from trying their newly opened play house . My daughter absolutely loved it. It is like no other play area in Edmonton -it is not just a whole bunch of toys in a room. There's a firehouse, a diner, a veterinarian clinic, a trolley, a hospital etc. Book online to reserve a spot for your daughter or son. It is eight dollars an hour. I highly recommend doing more than one hour. While your kids play you can Eat in the room next to the play area. There are people there to supervise your children. I once again ordered the vegan curry wrap and the vegan latte. The food is fantastic. (The food is all plant-based and I love it) A lot of my friends ordered their cinnamon buns and they all raved about them. You can also just hang out with your kids in the play area if you don't feel comfortable leaving them on their own. I enjoy the coffee will help keep an ion my daughter. Can't wait to go back read more

Went to Sweet Pea on a special 'open mic' nite. Very nice, cozy place complete with toasty fireplace for a chilly winter day. This is a vegan establishment so don't be expecting to order a ham sandwich, but they have numerous tasty treats to tempt your tastebuds. They offer a selection of espresso and coffee choices as well as teas but keep in mind that this is vegan place so don't be surprised when only offered non dairy choices. For mothers of young children this place a whole back area designed as small kid sized themed play areas to let the young ones explore their creativity and play with others while the parents can enjoy a bit of a break. All in all a nice little place worth checking out read more

I went there for an open Mic event, it is a really beautiful place. Nice and clean. They serve all kinds of coffees, teas and even smoothies. Their menu is vegan. It's a really small place but at the end you have numerous concept rooms that the kids can go and play while you sip your drinks. I really like the idea that you can go there with your kids, let them play and it gives you the chance to visit with your friends or even just take a break. read more

Sweet Pea Cafe and Playhouse - Yegg night ;) - Cafes Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

LOVE this place. My 20 month old had a blast in all the rooms; diner, grocery store, doc office, fire house, school and train. There is a little sitting area for the grownups to enjoy their coffee or meals while the kid play. As the all the kids entering get a name tag to put their name and the Guardian name. The parents also get a name tag to match up with their kid. Clever idea. I had to pull my kid out at the end of the hour, he didnot want to leave. Defiantly not like other playhouses in the area. Love that this is focus goal-orinated with the different theme playhouses. Really get the kids imagination to run and have fun. You book online with the time slot you desire. I had a little trouble and had to call to finish my booking. But to understand their new and figuring out everything. The neighbourhood is decent, clean and friendly being across from laurier height elementary school and rest just residential housing. Located 10 minutes from west edmonton mall. We will defiantly be back... Thank you read more

I've given Sweet Pea 4 stars but only because I feel it's a little on the pricey side. I do love the food and atmosphere though and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. All of the baking is delicious highly recommend. read more

Local cafe combined with Playhouse, Sweet Pea offers cafe on one side and children's playhouses on the other. You walk in straight into a cafe. Coffee, lattes and smoothies of sorts along with sweets and savory dishes, all plant based. We had the Spanakopita which was definitely filling and moderate shareable size with a side of Tziki. We also had individual sized pizza ( which I honestly would not get next time. Flat bread with a lot of sauce and garlic and cheese not melted). My Americano was indeed good. We booked a time for 430 pm and they promptly give you a 5 min warning before they boot you out. 1 hr did not seek long enough to get in, get kids settled and start playing and also ordering food. Hence we ended up in cafe after time was up. Found the play area very narrow with small baby area and a couch that fit only a few parents. I would say it was a good place for toddlers to explore but very congested with individual houses filled with different scenes. I probably will be back but when baby is much older and able to play on own. Barely any space for parents to stand around and walk around without having to bump shoulders. Small seating area - like a lunch room (table and chairs) in back, you won't get the menu for food there. We were only allowed to order drinks not that side but had to be mindful of time because "kitchen" closed right away. I'd have to say the staff were quite friendly and let us stay a bit longer over time on the cafe side. They did have a family weekend special and you can go on Tues for Tacos and weekends for brunch. Maybe booking earlier time would help :)! read more

Finally got to check out Sweet Pea Cafe; I love the idea of this place. Brought back the nostalgia of kidtropolis. I had no idea you needed to book in time in advance, this could've been very disappointing but they were able to get us in. My daughter is 6 and I felt she might have been too old? She loved it, but she was the oldest one there by a few years. An awesome spot. Would be an amazing venue to rent out and host a private party! We also tried a few treats from the Cafe, they were alright. read more

The cafe is divided in half and perfect for families and anyone looking for a great cuppa joe or latte. On the left you have a great coffee shop with very tasty *whispers* vegan fare - hubby had no clue until I told him hahahaha! On the right is an amazing playhouse, or series of them all stocked up with toys themed to the school house, diner, firehouse, hospital, school house and streetcar. They have a small area filled with exersaucers and toys geared for babies and toddlers, plus a big operation table blackboard and costumes galore for the older kids. Booking ahead for the playhouse is strongly recommended as they only allow 15kids per hr.. and they clean for 30min after each hr play session. Didnt get a chance to try out their cakes and cupcakes but will save space for next time! I love their muffin tin idea where kids can choose 6 items from a multitude off the menu - foods dont touch unless the kids wanna mix it up themselves! Service is friendly and prompt (and ultra kid friendly. They also have a small free library at the back, and of course, change tables in the bathrooms. read more

This is my absolute new favourite spot. I loved the service and the menu and the playhouse. Couple of top tips: come not hungry, play for an hour. Then be hungry and eat all the food. Bring socks. If you are vegan, go here If you are a mom, go here If you are a human being, go here Firstly, location is wonderful, short trek to the zoo and the neighbourhood feels safe and welcoming. The houses are gorgeous. Secondly, the place was so clean. Thirdly, the people were so nice! I was a bit confused about what it all exactly entailed so lemme break it down for you. There is a playhouse on one side with a table section at the back. Food is allowed onLy in the back area. You go in with your kid and order and then you can watch your kid play while sipping coffee or treats. The other side is a normal cafe. We came not hungry. I would recommend that. Played in the playhouse for an hour. By that time my 2.5 yo was done with it. But an hour for 2.5 yo is amazing!! Am I right?! Then we went over to the other side and enjoyed some lunch. It was great! Also the vegan treats were the best I've ever had. The carrot cupcake was perfect. Okay I'm done gushing over my experience. It's just not that often you get an amazing experience. Thank you! read more

Loved this place. Went here after school today for a quick dinner and the customer service and food quality were both exceptional. My boyfriend (who is not vegan) had the Falafel Wrap and absolutely loved it. I had the Spanakopita - it's the first one I've had since going vegan and OMG it did not disappoint! We unintentionally stayed a bit past closing but the owners were so lovely and friendly. Will definitely be back!!! read more

Not only is the Sweet Pea Cafe adorable, but the staff are so kind and seem to genuinely love their jobs. The fact that they limit the amount of little ones that are in at one time is fantastic, as it was not over crowded and the partial separation of the play space with the cafe area meant that the adults could have a regular volume conversation without having to raise their voices over the exuberant sounds happy and excited kids. The staff engaged with all the children quickly remembering their names and kept them entertained. As well, staff made a point to come and compliment the parents on different aspects of their child's behaviour, which was so lovely, and something a lot of parents would probably love and need to hear more of. It was a great experience and I don't even have kids (was with mom-friends). Food was great, space was great, all in all it was a positive experience. read more

We got the butterfly pea latte. It takes great, but i guess the price is too much for the small amount of tea. The place is small so it might not for people who likes quiet cafes. read more

You have to try this place. Excellent food and beverages. We tried a few different things everything is amazing.

I was there this past week with my kids. Have been there several times, and every time it has been awesome - food was fresh, toys were all in working condition and it was warm and cozy. I haven't visited in a few months, and was disappointed about a few things. First of all, I walked into the play area and noticed it was like an ice box. After being unable to warm up, despite having my winter coat on, I asked a staff member if they could please turn up the heat. She kindly informed me there was no heat. The furnace was broken and "hopefully" it would be fixed by days' end. Yikes! It happens, I guess. However, I went to order one of my favourites, two freshly baked GF strawberry muffins. it was 9am, but I was told they were all out?! But, thankfully she found me two muffins, wrapped in plastic wrap, assuming from the day before since they were already firm. This was disappointing as their muffins are a highlight. I looked at the GF coffee cake for 7.95$, but was told this was still being made... the tray was empty. Lastly, the kids came up to me and asked if I could please fix the "grocery scanner" in the grocery store. This is a highlight for them in times past, however, it appeared that it was busted, as was the cash register and veggie scale. We went to the "diner" and that cash register was also broken:( I was disappointed with the amount paid to play and eat here, there were several issues that I haven't encountered before.Hopefully these issues are resolved! read more
