Langer's has figured out the toddler parent's perfect trifecta - yummy coffee drinks, safe and free playtime (with purchase of coffee), and a space for moms and dads to relax around a fire! Every Thursday, Langer's offers a Coffee and Campfire playdate. Children under 5 are welcome to come use their fun play structure, Timber Town, while enjoying coffee by their mesmerizing fire. The littles will have a blast throwing balls in the ball blower, climbing up padded stairs, and coming down the slides.

Both relaxing and safe, this is a sure bet for a successful nap time later in the day!
