Founded in Ajax by Local Parents

Created With Families in Mind

The Plae House was created to be a place that works for the whole family — where little ones can explore, play and move freely, while grown-ups can slow down, enjoy a great coffee and feel comfortable too.

Designed for babies and young children, our space offers a calm, welcoming play environment with open sightlines that make it easy to stay connected with your little one while enjoying the café.

From thoughtfully designed play spaces to fresh food and specialty drinks, every detail has been considered to create a space that feels less like a traditional indoor playground and more like a neighbourhood gathering place for families.

A place to play, connect, eat, sip and stay awhile
