Welcome to The Plae House — a thoughtfully designed indoor “plae” café created by two brothers with a dream to bring something special to families in Durham Region.

As parents themselves, they envisioned a space that blends plae-time for children with comfort for grown-ups—a warm, modern environment where families can relax, connect, and enjoy life’s little moments.

Made for children. Loved by parents.
Our plae area is designed specifically for little ones aged 0–6. With open sightlines and creative, Montessori-inspired play structures, children can climb, crawl, and explore safely—while parents unwind with a warm coffee and delicious treats from our café. The calming, open design allows grown-ups to keep an eye on their children from the comfort of their seats, free from the overstimulation and overcrowding often seen in many indoor playground establishments.

Drop in, plae on.
Whether visiting for a weekday plae-date or a special celebration, The Plae House offers a clean, cozy, and visually stunning space the whole family will enjoy. The aesthetic design of our space creates a calm, welcoming atmosphere where parents can relax while their children enjoy meaningful, creative “plae.”

What makes us special?

• An open-concept layout designed to provide clear sightlines for parents
• A thoughtfully curated menu featuring delicious, freshly prepared food and drinks — all made with halal ingredients.
• A sensory-conscious plae environment inspired by Montessori principles
• Founded right here in Ajax by local parents with a vision to create a beautiful space made by parents, for parents and children alike

We believe in the power of plae – for development, for bonding, and for pure, utter joy. While little ones climb, crawl, and create in our safe, engaging plae zones, parents can unwind with great food, drinks, and a relaxing atmosphere.

We’re more than just a space to plae. We’re a community hub for comfort, connection, and shared moments—for children and their grown-ups. 

We hope you enjoy The Plae House as much as we loved bringing it to life with families like yours in mind!
