Little Beans Play Cafe has been a neighbourhood favourite in Port Moody since 2016, known for combining a cosy café scene with a thoughtfully designed children’s play space. If you’re looking for a place where parents can actually enjoy a coffee while kids explore safely, this is it. The café occupies roughly 1,200 square feet, with a separate soft-play area for toddlers and a creative corner stocked with wooden toys and art supplies.

They serve more than good espresso. Expect fair-trade coffee, house-made baked goods, and a rotating selection of savoury snacks, plus kid-friendly options like fruit pouches and mini grilled cheese. Little Beans runs drop-in play sessions, structured storytime and music classes, and weekday membership plans for regulars. Weekends often feature themed mornings, such as sensory play or toddler yoga, and they offer private party packages with a party host, decorations, and pizza options.

What stands out is how they run the place: staff are Early Childhood Education assistants and trained in CPR and first aid, so you’ll see experienced caregivers supervising the play space while baristas work behind the counter. Toys and equipment are cleaned daily and rotated weekly, and the layout keeps the café seating within clear sightlines of the play areas. Service is relaxed but efficient, so you can catch up with a friend or get some work done while your little one plays.

Local families choose Little Beans because it feels like an extension of home. They partner with nearby preschools for drop-off events and support community fundraisers, and regulars appreciate the loyalty punch card and discounted weekday passes. Pop in for a latte and a safe, imaginative play session; many parents say it’s the one place in Port Moody where both kids and adults leave happy. Phone: 604-492-0390.
