Always in sight
Play area right beside the tables
The play area sits directly next to the seating. The children have room to play and you can still keep an eye on them over your coffee. Exactly the combination that is so often missing.
Many families come just for an hour, meet other parents or take a break between two appointments. That is very much the idea.
By the way: you can visit the café before or after your salt room session. Both work, whichever suits your day better.
Come as it suits you
