Coffee, Conversation and Kids.
Families in North Clark County now have a new place to play; Little Cups and Grownups Play Café in Battle Ground is now open! The new Battle Ground coffee shop is not just any ordinary café; it’s a business at the forefront of an emerging trend: a coffee shop with a play area for kids, too.
“We came up with the idea earlier this year when it was clear the options for family-friendly venues are fairly limited in our community,” said Matthew Parker, the café’s co-owner and manager. Parker’s wife, Janelle, and her friends would often try to meet up with other moms at coffee shops with their children in tow. The experiences usually ended up more stressful than relaxing, because though the moms had a place to enjoy coffee and conversation, their busy children would quickly become restless in an environment primarily geared for adults.
