"I took my 2 grandchildren, ages 2 and 5 here today. We spent 2hrs at this wonderful play space. They played in the kitchen, and in the ball pit. There was a trampoline, activity wall, and slide. The space is so clean and the staff friendly. We also had lunch there, chicken bites with fries and mozzarella sticks. Everything was tasty and freshly made. The beverages were also delicious. Check this place out!!"
"I recently hosted a party at Buddy's Cafe, and I can't express enough how wonderful the experience was! This place is a gem, combining a fantastic play space with a delightful cafe that caters to both kids and adults alike. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a clean and welcoming environment. The staff was incredibly hands-on, offering assistance in setting up and ensuring everything was perfect. Xiali and Gina assisted me with the set up! Xiali does an amazing balloon arch. She even incorporated the balloons I brought for my center pieces so that everything flowed. Gina helped with the set up as well and offered some great suggestions! Their enthusiasm and attentiveness truly made the experience exceptional. They even offered to help set everything up themselves so that I can just enjoy which was greatly appreciated! Anyone who has hosted before knows what a lifesaver it is when you have this sort of help. Now, let’s talk about the food. We ordered the garlic chicken bites with fries, and they were absolutely delicious! The dipping sauce was outstanding—so good that we couldn’t get enough of it! It’s clear that Buddy's Cafe takes pride in their menu. The play space itself was a hit with our group. We had children ranging in age from 10 months to 11 years, and I can confidently say that there was something for everyone. The bubble show was a huge highlight, and the soft play blocks and stuffed animals throughout the ball pit added an extra touch of fun. Our friends and family mentioned their kids didn’t want to leave, and even the adults were a bit disappointed when it was time to wrap things up. Additionally, I loved that the bathrooms had Crocs available for all ages, ensuring the little ones could run around comfortably without worrying about walking on the floor in just their socks. The staff continually checked in, making sure we had everything we needed, and their commitment to excellent service did not go unnoticed. Overall, our experience at Buddy's Cafe was outstanding from start to finish. It’s a perfect place for kids to explore, play, and have a blast, while adults can enjoy delicious food and a relaxing atmosphere. We can’t thank the staff enough for going above and beyond to make our celebration memorable. We will definitely be back for more fun in the future! Highly recommend! Thank you Xiali, Nino and Gino! We will be returning!"
"My husband and I were looking for a play place to host our daughter’s 2nd birthday. I was really nervous since we never hosted a birthday at a play place before. Xiali and Nino, the owners were amazing in walking me through the steps and advised me with the party planning. They communicated with high efficiency and replied very quickly, this helped me feel at ease during the planning. My friends enjoyed their freshly fried juicy chicken and wide variety of drinks. I chose this place after one visit due to the food and drink menu, this differentiates them from other play places. I love how helpful and attentive the staff were during our party’s duration. They were constantly making drinks, fresh food, cleaning and attending to the young children in the eating area. I walked to the eating area to check on my 2 year old and she had her straw in her juice box. My 4 year old told me one of the staff members helped her. I am in awe of how sweet, kind and caring the staff is at this play place. I am so glad to have had such a wonderful first time experience hosting at a venue. Xiali and Nino helped me as well with setting up. I was allowed to drop off decor and items the night before and most of the items were already set up for me upon early arrival to set up. My daughters, friends and their children had a blast and they commented on how clean the play place was! Thank you Xiali, Nino and your staff! Forgot to add, all my guests loved the drinks! Staff was also very accommodating with my requests."
"Food was delicious and affordable! I had the fried chicken combo with garlic sauce. The staff is very nice and it's a great place for families with young kids."
"My kids(3 and 8 yo) love the place, great place for kids and parents to hang out, or just for the food! it is little overwhelming the 1st day, but give it some times, Im sure it would get better. All staff are very nice and welcoming, just like your family in the neighbors, food and drinks are good, especially their signature Boba tea, MUST TRY. Don't have many choices on food right now, but I just talked with the owners, they said more are coming ! Would definitely come back!!!"
