Party FAQs
-
Two of our packages include food for the adults (pizza for gold and wraps, salad, fruit for platinum).
We also have a suite of add-on food options through our partners, Sweet 'N Fancy, La Famiglia Sorrento, Kirshenbaum Baking Co. and Tavola Charcuterie.
We charge a $50 vendor fee for food brought in outside of these vendors to encourage guests to use our partners and to cover the extra cost of clean up. This fee would apply for any of our packages.
-
If you'd like to bring your own plates, decor, etc. you're welcome to drop them off at the café during the week before your party so that our team can set them up for you.
Please note that we do not allow helium balloons (due to our high ceilings) or outside balloon decor, as balloon decor is a service we offer.
-
We don't charge for adults or include a set number of adults in our packages.
We ask our guests instead to respect the capacity of our space for overall people (children+adults). We cannot exceed 65 people in total for parties (children+adults).
Keep in mind that the closer you get to this number, the more crowded the space will feel.
Praise from Party Parents
Small Town Play Cafe created the most amazing experience for our daughter’s third birthday and the only issue was that we had to leave when it was over and I’m not sure how I will be able to meet the bar set by this memorable party in future years.
The space itself is not only gorgeous aesthetically but has so many different themed areas, nooks and crannies for the kids to play in and be imaginative while the parents enjoy delicious food and drinks from the cafe. We could have stayed all day and nobody would have gotten bored.
In advance of our party, people kept asking if I was stressed with planning and as a naturally anxious person, it was very strange to have truly not had a single concern related to the party and nothing to manage - from the food and the favors to the decorations and the photography, every little detail was attended to in the most fun and beautiful way and the kids had so much fun. In fact my daughter declared, “it was the best day ever!” so my job as a parent was done and I didn’t even have to lift a finger!
Kim and the staff were so kind, thorough and attentive and made sure that needs were met and expectations far exceeded. We will be back very soon to play … if we can get a reservation.
With such a glowing review I feel I have to say that I have no affiliation whatsoever to Small Town Play Cafe but am just a very happy customer sharing my honest, wonderful experience.

I couldn't be happier with how my daughter's first birthday party turned out! The venue was decorated beautifully and was spotless, creating the perfect atmosphere for a special celebration. Our guests, ranging from 8 months to 9 years old, were all actively engaged and having a fantastic time. The kids enjoyed a wonderful array of activities, and the staff went above and beyond—helpful, organized, and always keeping me informed throughout the event. We truly had a wonderful time, and it made for an unforgettable day. Highly recommended!

Thank you SO much for such a perfect day! Everything was so beautiful, clean, delish, and organized and the staff was so friendly. It was such a weight off my shoulders not having to plan but I know all the kids (and adults) had a great time. We’ll be back soon! Thank you for creating a dream space
