As a parent, the first things I look for are cleanliness and safety, and this place excels at both. It is incredibly well-maintained, spotless, and designed in a way that lets the boys have a blast while I actually feel relaxed. The onsite cafe is also such a convenient touch--we always grab the boys smoothies for the ride home! What really sets this business apart, though, are the owners. Michael and his wife are some of the kindest, most welcoming people you'll ever meet. They truly care about the families coming through their doors and make you feel right at home every time. Wonderful people running a wonderful business--we can't recommend this place enough!"

It was bound to happen.....the Delmar location has gotten very run down as other stores seem to be…read moretaking priority to get up and running. I have been to this location several times over the last year (since it first opened), and each time I had been impressed with the cleanliness and tidiness. Today was a very different story. As soon as we entered I could see that the place was a mess. Toys were all over the place, nothing had been neatened up, and the foam floor pieces were buckling in several spots. We arrived at about 2:30pm and we were the only customers, so it seemed odd that it was such a mess. The sand pit area is overrun with toys and the kitchen area was trashed. The round sitting bench that used to spin no longer does (we were told it broke), and there is a random metal climbing dome with a slide that has paper and tape on it, seemingly covering screws or something. For the price of admission (25.00), I can't say I will hurry back unless I learn that things are being better maintained. I never understand when places start to grow, but as they do, they let other things go. The appeal of the Littles Play Cafe was the trust I had in the cleanliness and maintenance, but today I lost my faith. I hope they do better, because when it is good, it's a nice place for little ones to play.

We arrived right when they opened at 10 a.m. and were seated immediately, which was great. We initially considered sitting inside, but the smell of eggs was so overwhelming/nauseating that we opted for outdoor seating instead. The patio was charming and cozy. The service was friendly, attentive, and one of the highlights of our visit. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to expectations. We all ordered the brunch tower, which included a "fruit salad" that consisted of squishy grapes, sour Granny Smith apple chunks, and canned mandarin oranges. The fruit tasted low quality and unappetizing, and I only managed a few bites. I also ordered the bananas foster crepe, which was severely overcooked. The crepe was so tough that I needed a knife to cut through it, and the texture was far from what I would expect from a crepe. Overall, while the service was pleasant and seating was prompt, the food quality left a lot to be desired, especially considering the price point.

Such a cute little café! They make their kombucha and other drinks in-house, which I loved. I…read moregrabbed a kombucha and it was delicious--it paired really well with the meal. I love smoked salmon, but I definitely underestimated my ability to handle wasabi! I thought the spread would mellow out the flavor a bit, but nope--the wasabi really lingers in your mouth and does not want to leave. I ended up wiping some of it off after a while because it was just too much for me. That said, the toast itself was so good--soft on the inside with the perfect crunch, and the salmon practically melts in your mouth. The whipped ricotta was even better! Overall, really enjoyed the food and the cute café atmosphere. Just go easy on the wasabi if you're not a fan of strong flavors!

I get it support local restaurants and the prices reflect the current wages blah blah. Service was very attentive and helpful. The seating in there has mostly 2s and a couple of 4 seaters. I thought it was odd when we walked in there with our baby in a car seat, they didn't offer to put him in a chair cuz I don't think there was a high chair. I woulda asked but home skillet was ktfo and I wasn't tryna awaken the beast. That isn't discrediting the service or this place at all. My 3 star is purely at a cost to quality standpoint. I found out that there's other towns that are like 15min drive with more diner options and I missed out on that.

While their fee is a little higher than most, part of it is returned once the adopted puppy is neutered. In retrospect we regretted not adopting Diego's brother as well. My one issue was that because we are seniors, they were concerned as to how we would provide for our dogs as time progressed. We explained that our respective wills provided for immediate family, our daughter and husband, to assume guardianship in the event of our demise or incapacitation. Thank you Homeward Bound from us and Diego. He is in his forever home being loved.

Unfortunately, our experience with this organization was extremely frustrating…read more We are experienced and responsible dog owners who work from home, have a large fenced in yard, and have successfully adopted and raised several dogs. Despite all this, the process turned into what felt like an endless stream of emails about our dog's veterinary files, with repeated requests and questions that were often unclear or inadequately explained. The biggest issue was communication. Several emails were short and on the rude side, others incomplete and confusing, leaving us unsure about what information was actually needed. Rather than resolving things, each exchange seemed to generate another email and another question. A simple phone call could likely have clarified everything in a matter of minutes, but the volunteer in question, Tamara, didn't leave one nor do I have her last name. I completely understand and support careful screening by rescue organizations. The welfare of the animals should absolutely come first. But a thorough adoption process also needs to be clear, consistent, and respectful of prospective adopters' time. In the end, the process became so unnecessarily complicated that we decided not to continue. It's a shame, because we were genuinely hoping to give another dog a loving home. I hope the organization considers improving its communication with prospective adopters.

On August 12, 2026 my grand rabbit passed away. I called my daughter who's out of state at school…read moreto let her know because Miley (the rabbit) was hers. She sent me the money to get Miley cremated so she could come back home which is $60 for the cremation. My daughter sent $80 so she could get her nose print and fur clipping. I called her while there and told her that the clay paw print was a extra $30. She said okay and asked for that as well. My daughter sent me the $30 for Miley's clay paw print. I and my daughter paid a total of $110 for her rabbit to come home. We paid on card and left Miley with APF. We trusted APF to make sure our wishes were fulfilled and granted. I was called yesterday August 19, 2026 towards the end of day that Miley had been returned and was ready for pickup. I was unable to pick her up yesterday so I went and picked Miley up today. I arrived at APF around 12:10pm. I walked in and picked up her remains. I was looking thru the bag when I noticed that the paw print was not there. So I walked back in and addressed the issue. They made it feel like I was lying to them and went and checked the receipt and saw that I did pay for it but never got it. Then they said that they will talk with the people tomorrow when they come in and I told them no because it wasn't going to fix the issue it's not like they can do her paw print now as she is cremated. I told them I wanted a refund. They asked me my address and I told them that they could refund it how I paid for it. They said that they aren't able to do that which I found highly aggravating. So they are mailing me a paper check. If this happened to someone who had lost a child in birth and they never did their child's hand and foot print an the child was cremated the parents and family would be highly upset and emotional. This is the same thing. Some people view there animals as there kids and treat them as such. There are no words in which we can express our aggravation, hurt, and there is absolutely no way they can ever correct this for us either. I'm shaking writing this because this is something that we will never be able to look at again. When I look at my dog's paw prints, my cat paw print, I an my daughter will never be able to look at Miley's paw print.

I recommend signing up for their reward card - I have gotten some great coupons which are good towards our expensive cat food (the brand is expensive, not the store).
