Snooknuk Arts & Indoor Play Cafe

I found Snooknuk on Unilocal and went in for the first time today with high expectations. The outside is pretty nice with orange as the dominating color so it’s hard to miss. The inside is on the smaller side, divided into thirds. One third playground, one third seating area/​hanging shoe cubbies, and one third café. I met Cheri and she was nice. It’s $ 8 for one child and $ 5 for siblings. There’s free wifi which is great and the temperature inside was perfect (although after a while, it got stuffy). The playground itself only gets two stars from me. (The extra star is for Snooknuk as a whole). Two stars because a) the mat was SO filthy, the plush seesaw was also gross and so were the big plastic balls. There’s a gate that divides the seating area from the playground and the left door makes the most annoying sound which you’re bound to hear repeatedly if you happen to be there with toddlers who of course are obsessed with doors. There are two slides, and a caterpillar tunnel, a train track (like the ones at Barnes and Noble), a few sucky books, and a random dollhouse. There was one toy that was battery operated and didn’t even have batteries. There were also a xylophone, a little piano and these weird lego blocks. I honestly thought my son would have a much more larger variety of toys to play with. The only thing we entertained ourselves with were the slides and the caterpillar tunnel. As with all cafés prices are steep. $ 4.50 for a SMALL latté (add .50 for a flavored syrup). And given that the kitchen could only fit two people, I wasn’t interested in giving anything else a try. Not to mention they try and sell you their soundtrack which you could easily Shazam while you’re there. I personally didn’t enjoy my experience and wouldn’t return or recommend.

Great spot to bring your toddler to play for a few hours. People there are very nice. Will totally keep bringing my kid around next time I’m in town.

I can honestly not say enough about how wonderful my daughter’s 1^st birthday was at Snooknuk! It all started with Cheri who was so patient, wonderful and creative! There was music and bubbles and lovely decorations! With a fun outside area with bouncy house to boot! I can honestly say it was everything I envisioned and more! I recommend this place for anyone wanting to have a magical birthday experience!

I liked it here it was very cozy! It’s small but in a good way to where your kid can play and you can sit and you don’t get antsy because you can’t see them and they don’t freak out because your so close! I didn’t try and of the food or drinks (I had just had a coffee before hand) But, 8 $ is a fair price as to those who said it was expensive. I would pay infinite money for a moment of being able to think while my kid is having fun! Sounds blissful!

Good food. Really cute child décor. Strong AC! Nice environment, only one MAJOR complaint, $ 8 to allow your child to play at the indoor «playground» totally ridiculously overpriced. Playground is nothing special simple toys and two tiny slides, perfect for children under 2 but shouldn’t have to pay $ 8 especially when already paying for food…

I’m not from the area and haven’t been to any other indoor playgrounds so this was my first impression…
Pros: very cute murals and décor, that was truly darling. The fact that they have an extensive food menu is great, lots of choices and options. It seems like they thought of everything. A/​C is a huge plus when it’s over 90degrees outside. The price is very reasonable. Clean– not once did I feel that it was not clean so that is a huge plus.
Cons: I just felt like there was barely anything for my 2 year old to do. There were a few toys, a very small play structure and then a life sized projector game. My 2 year old was barely able to keep himself engaged. He seemed a bit too old for the toys and structure so I imagine older kids must really be bored.
I am glad places like this exist but I do wish there was more «playground» since that is what you expect when you go there.

I recently photographed a birthday party at Snooknuk. Cheri and her team are super friendly and a joy to work with. The play area is clean and has a good assortment of activity areas for the kids. Great place for parties!

This place is a great little gem in the neighborhood. They offer fantastic coffee drinks and light snacks. So stop by for an excellent iced mocha.

Cheri the owner is fantastic– we take a music class her on Thursdays. The play space inside is a little small, and the back room where they have the classes echoes loudly which Ive found can be a little over stimulating at times. They have great coffee and paninis!
We took an art class here as well, I think we prefer the music class– it’s more engaging. The art class was two projects a class, and was not very well paced or stimulating. Needs a lot of parent support. Highly recommend the music class though.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. My kid just turned one. This place has been a lifesaver. Its a great place for us to hang out indoors. Mostly little children play there which is great. The frozen yogurt and sandwichs is a plus. For one play it is $ 7 dollars and you could be there the whole day. They free wifi and good food choices to give to our little ones. The service is great and helpful. Remember to always bring your socks.

It’s a nice small playground. They offer different classes for kids and parents. I enrolled my son in the hip hop class but sadly it was cancelled due to lack of students. The dance teacher was amazing and we had a lot of fun while we attended. The food is delicious and they offer a variety of snacks. Overall a great place!

Cute place, smaller than I expected and not as close to the main Larchmont shops. But not far either… But it’s clean, has coffee and snacks for purchase. Honestly it’s a cute spot to meet a friend for a coffee, just wish the play space was larger so my son could run around a little more! But I recommend checking it out if you live in the area.

My daughter loves stopping in for froyo! The yogurt is awesome! I can’t believe there’s a place like this now on Larchmont perfect location! They have a full performing arts schedule for big kids too which is good because my daughter is 9 and we live close so now I don’t have to travel too far for dance and acting classes. She Can’t wait to start in January. The instructors seem to be so experienced. Great idea for a spot for kids and moms!

We are so lucky to have discovered this fabulous café slash playspace slash kids classes early on. The coffee is amazing! The space is magical and all of the classes (we have done ballet, hip hop and some of the acting classes) and excellent. We also had my daughters birthday party here and they went above and beyond what you would expect. We can’t say enough good things about this place. We just love it!

This is the cutest café ever! The owners John and Cherry are truly lovely and have an amazing concept with this café! Coffee, food and an indoor (safe&clean!!!) playground for kids, and theater classes! They have a wonderful menu of salads, quiche, frozen yogurt, and snacks, all healthy choices. Coffee supplied by Luxxe coffee from the west side of LA. They are so welcoming and warm, it’s a great neighborhood spot for local moms and families! Larchmont and Windsor square peeps need to support this business, you will not be disappointed! Its great «mommy meet up» day spot! Did I mention pastries supplied by Susina… Yum!

We are enrolled in the Music and Rhythm class with Cheri Wednesday afternoons and we stop by here probably once a week to use the indoor playground. I have been wanting a play place like this around here and am so thankful this has opened! There is nothing for miles, you have to go to the westside or pasadena for a true play place for babies/​toddlers/​kids. So thank you Snooknuk! I like that there is coffee and healthy refreshments here I can buy if I’m in a rush and haven’t got a chance to eat but need to snack while my son gets some playtime. This is the perfect place to stop by for an hour and let your kid play while you get some work done on your phone or take a breather while running errands in LA. It’s VERY clean and I have to say I think having my son’s upcoming bday party here would be a great idea. Love this place.

My 18 month old son and I struck gold when we came to the Snooknuk café. It’s not a typical indoor play yard at all. It’s a warm and inviting place not only for toddlers, kids, moms, dads… but for anybody who enjoys just checking out from their busy life to enjoy some delicious yogurt, coffee, iced drinks and great people.
There’s an outside seating area, the «chill» spot, where you can enjoy your adult time while your kid is taking a class… class?
oh yeah! They have a fully equipped studio, instruments, speakers, music, you name it! With the most creative entertaining facilitators. I know because I enrolled my son in a class and one of the owners teaches the class. She’s amazing. She loves what she does and you can feel the love she has put in this place.
I have to stop writing because I really can’t say enough great things about this place.

We attended a mommy event here and my daughter played forever… but most importantly I discovered they serve Caffe Luxxe coffee!!!

Snooknuk is a café that offers coffee, sandwiches, salads, baked goods and frozen yogurt. On one side of the store is a separated kids play area with a painted mural, life size tree, toys and a small jungle gym, plus more for climbing around. Free play for the day is $ 7 per kid (discounts for siblings), which seems a bit steep for such a small play area, but the four year old I brought was completely entertained, regardless.
We had some frozen yogurt which was about the price of every other self serve place. The yogurt is softer than most and super tasty. They offer four flavors which change daily. The dark chocolate is delish! Few topping choices but the yogurt was so good I didn’t feel I needed any.
Free wi-​fi and there is additional seating on the front patio. Free two hour parking can be found in the surrounding neighborhood.
