My absolute favorite coffee spot. They have the best coffee and their food is delicious! The place is not only beautiful but always spotless. But to top it all off it is the best service you could ever ask for. Everyone who works there is so kind and you can sense the love they put into the place. Best little gem!!!

The Cafe is really nice and the boutique style items for sale up front are awesome. The rest of the place felt crowded. I think if they took the tables out of the play area and made it socks only then it would stay cleaner and feel bigger. My childs clothes and legs were dirty from the floor and several of the toys were sticky and gross.I think they should put age recommendations on the website for the craft as we paid for 2 children under a year that obviously couldnt make slime. But Gwen did a really good job accommodating us for that and and was awesome with my 3 year old.

Really great ambiance, very neat little shop with space to study or work and also a little room for your toddlers to play and outdoor space to chill with your pets. Staff is great and very friendly, only 4 stars because the coffee it self was just ok. Didn’t stand out to me, I ordered a large hot mocha and it taste pretty plain,barely even tasted the mocha. Other than that great little spot!

Great place to bring the little ones for a bite to eat. Kids play are with story time every morning at 9am and kids class starts at 10.

We went to Cafe Au Plait for the first time today. We had such a great time. Their play area is adorable. The craft was really fun. And of course the coffee was great. They have an adorable little gift shop full of handmade items from local artisans. From t-shirts to swimsuits to soaps and sensory kits. We love that they support local! We will definitely be back.

First time visiting today and absolutely loved the concept! The coffee was delicious and the environment was modern, trendy and great for families! Cute Boutique too! It reminded me of coffee shops from Europe, that do such a good job striking a balance for adults and kids a like to enjoy! We need more places like this!

I love Cafe Au Plait! It is such a great place to bring the kids and let the roam/play while you sip on a coffee. Laura the owner is so nice and really takes the time to think of fun activities to do! The coffee is great and the young employees are super kind to kiddos. 10/10 would recommend!

I was finally able to take my daughter here for the first time... and we LOVED it. The owner is very personable and this is the cutest/most fun spot! Cannot wait to come again! Thanks!

Very clean. Nice sepated play area for small ones to play and interact with parents.

The most adorable cafe! Sipped a delicious latte while the kids played and I even managed to get some work done. I have been waiting for a place like this for a while!! Even though I work from home some days you just have to get out of the house - Finally, a cafe thats child friendly, yummy food, great coffee and the most lovely decor!!

Very clean bathrooms. Well laid out and a kid friendly area.

Literally the cutest place! Love the local shop and how everything has a kids size to go with it! Will definitely be coming back!! And everyone is so kind

Excellent coffee made however you like it. A few bakery items are offered too. Cute decor, tiny gift shop, and an outdoor space which faces the mountains. Occasionally, they provide music with local musicians. It may be a little out-of-the-way but definitely worth it!

Anyone who can leave a negative review about this place is just dang right walking through life in a miserable state of being. It is seriously the cutest coffee shop in the Valley, the most amazing, friendly staff, quality food & coffee- it’s a dream for families with small children.The play area is super clean, safe, they have thought of everything to make this a fun experience for every family member.The event calendar is packed with festive crafts at affordable prices.I adore this place - it’s my go to place for meet ups with mom’s.

Really liked our first experience with this place— it’s under new management since June. John and Tom (hope I got names right!) were working. Super personable, good customer service, and made us great drinks. I really enjoyed my hot Chai Latte, and my husband had a 6oz Cappuccino (they have different sizes). They have lots of locally made goods for sale including kids/baby clothing, trucker hats, Christmas ornaments, soaps, and much more. I highly recommend this place and making sure they’re a success! Nice play area, although we don’t have kids who need to make use of it. If you live nearby this might just become your go-to coffee shop.

Great spot! Good coffee and a fun place for kids!

Decent coffee and pastries, but more importantly: indoor play area suitable for babies, toddlers, and small children. Oh, and very friendly staff too.

This is an incredibly charming place for adults and children. Uniquely flavored coffees, childrens play area, and great view out back including outdoor seating.

Amazing! Such a cute place! Great coffee, smoothies and snacks. They have cute gifts from local vendors too! My kiddo loves coming here! It’s so nice and clean! I love this place!

Cute cafe with an adorable play place. Perfect spot for moms with littles!

Live music and great coffee.

Even if you don’t have littles, this is such a cute cafe! Much better coffee/tea than Sbux — plus, support local!They have loads of cute Arizona / desert gifts and other goodies.Go check em out! 🥰🧋☕️

Fun little spot for the kiddos. Theyve got an awesome little play station that will keep your small people busy for hours.

Good drinks, atmosphere outside with the live band was amazing.Drinks are extremely slow, but good.

Cutest, kid friendly coffee shop and the owners are so sweet!

This place does not take covid seriously!!! so disappointing that even during this time the employees are not wearing masks until you walk in and as soon as they hand you your drink they take it off. Even the owner had her mask off and was talking to her 3 employees all masks off! the girl who served me sneezed a few times just while taking my order. nobody was wearing gloves either. any place that is serving food right now needs to be wearing gloves if they are touching anybody elses cup or plastic bag. i want to support a local business but i cannot when they do not take a whole pandemic seriously, this is not the time to mess around. the 2 stars is because the coffee was just okay, still prefer starbucks tho. such a shame...

Very friendly staff! Ordered a delicious iced cappuccino. I was very excited to walk in and see that they use coffee from infusion, which Is fantastic coffee. Will definitely be back.

Nice place, good coffee and kid friendly. We stop for early morning coffee while walking the lower Mule Deer Tail.

Such a fun cute place! I love the hot lattes here. Iv been hooked since I found them.

Awesome place. I strolled by a couple of months ago during the quarantine, while walking my dog, like other business they were closed. I kind of forgot about this place until I saw the sign on the corner. I popped in to grab a latte before heading to the dog park Friday morning. There wasnt any patrons there and the barista was awesome! I strolled around while she made my coffee. I dont have kids, however, this would definitely be a spot to bring them while being able to enjoy the morning.This morning I stop by on my way home to grab a latte for my wife and myself, with some pastries of course, there were some kids playing in their play area. This place is refreshing, while I hate to warn you... The coffee is delicious and the pastries are screaming!!! The staff are friendly as well! I hope Café au Plait grows to be our community staple. Having the young work staff will encourage positive growth core structure for the community.Welcome to the community and wish you a long and prosperous tenure!!!

Local hidden gem, embarrassingly close to us and first timers - had coffee and an Emily smoothie - cute local things and just enough snacks

Such a cute place to grab coffee, and for kids to play in. The space is well maintained, very clean and has a lot of variety to keep little ones busy for quite some time. The outdoor patio is also really nice. The staff is very friendly! We love coming here to meet with friends and have a space for our kids to enjoy. There is no other space in this area like this! We had a birthday party here and everything was absolutely perfect, the staff was so helpful throughout the party and everyone had such a great time.

Great place - it’s next to my daughters art class, but the best thing is the owners are super nice and the coffee and drinks are great - my daughter likes the smoothies...try ‘The Andrew’...;-)

Cutest place ever! Great chic but relaxing and not an overpriced cafe! With excellent coffee options and yummy bites! Must try this place! It’s in the shopping center on the corner so it’s kind of hidden in plain view. They have dog patio and kiddie play area too! Must try the iced latte and liege waffle!

This is a gorgeous little cafe! Really good drink selection. I wish there were more food options. I think paying $5 for the play area is reasonable but there are two issues with it-one there are just not enough toys and two some toys are dangerous for little kids (they had a bucket with small -and I mean small-hot wheel style cars that my one year old would easily be able to put in his mouth). I would gladly go back tho and had an overall fun experience!

Was excited to try this place. I like to support small business. Stopped by for a cup of coffee on Saturday at 1pm during posted business hours. It was totally closed - for a private party. Went to ‘Ole reliable starbucks instead. I probably won’t take that chance again.

Wow! What can I say... This adorable cafè is incredible! From the delicious food, to the amazing service, great music, and cleanliness.. Its an awesome place to work, bring the kiddos, grab a bite or just hang out on the outdoor patio in the sun! My new favorite hot spot. #love!!

Great coffee and awesome staff! Family owned and so neat! We love it!!!

I love this place! It is so nice to have a neighborhood non-chain coffee shop. The staff is wonderful. Special shout-out to Allie! The coffee is great. Cafe is clean and welcoming!

We are so thankful to have this Cafe in our neighborhood. The coffee and cold crew are local and really good! The owners and staff are so kind and caring for each customer as they truly value the business. We appreciate good service and will support our local coffee shop for many years to come.

I love this place even without my daughter. The coffee and waffles are delicious and I crave the açaí bowls. The owners are great people and very family oriented, rings through with the vibe of the whole place. Light bright and happy pop-in or sit down spot! Much needed in Mcdowell mountain area! Starbucks who?? Support local and family owned businesses :)

Gorgeous little cafe with liege waffles and great coffee. Love the indoor play space and cozy cafe feel with indoor and outdoor seating. Check it out - nice neighborhood place

Very nice inside with a good play area for todlers. Staff is very friendly. Coffee is very good with plenty of options and creations. Had a matcha latte as well, it was good but a bit heavy on the sweater for my taste. A solid place to try out though.

I’m in love with this place!! Great coffee, delicious açaí bowls, and the BEST waffles !! I crave them all the time! Super cute & fun place for kids to play while you get to hang out or sit & get some work done! 10/10.

What a great and much needed addition to the MMR area. Really cute shop with delicious coffee and tea. Plus, the waffles are worth the calories if you are looking for a little treat.

Perfect for moms or a place to work remotely...

I stopped in after my workout and tried the Scottsdale Green. I generally dont drink smoothies but it was great! Ill be back to try the coffee.

French bistro vibe. Really good coffee!

Sandwich was missing a couple toppings. Girls working behind the counter seemed like they didn’t want to be there. Terrible management.

Great place, especially because of the play area for kids.

Great concept. But disappointed in the cover charge for the kids to play in the play area...and the Cappuccino had a burnt shot of espresso

I like this place but lately it seems every time we go they are closed. We end up arriving between 3 and 4pm and they are already closed. Today we tried at 3:10 and it was dark and locked. Only place close by to get a snack and a drink while kids r in music lessons, so it’s frustrating every time they are closed before posted closing time..☹️

Perfect!

Love the cappuccino!

A great cafe but also a great event space! We had a birthday for our 4yr old and it was great to have an indoor place to play, lots of tables for adults to eat, and an event indoor area for kids to run.Highly recommended for a kid friendly event or birthday.
