What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
We absolutely love Think Lounge! My kiddo (21 months) has been going once or twice a week for a few months now, and it’s been such a great experience. The staff are amazing—so kind, patient, and genuinely engaged. My child especially adores Sarah and Suzanne! The class is relatively small with usually about 3 teachers attending, so it never feels like my kid is just another number in a big room. I also love that there’s a good mix of ages—it feels like a real community. As a business owner who works from home, the drop-in flexibility has been a total lifesaver. I can bring my kid when I need to focus on work, and I love that I can use the workspace next door. It’s such a nice change of scenery, and I’ve never had an issue getting a phone booth when I need privacy. Plus, the coffee and food is great! Highly recommend Think Lounge to any parent looking for a supportive, flexible, and welcoming environment for their kids (and themselves!).
What a great concept! Private booths to work remotely if you need a workspace venue change 😁 Quiet, calm setting with comfortable surroundings. Excellent beverages and a heart-friendly menu!
Think Lounge is more of a coworking space with a coffee bar than a true coffee shop. The setup is designed primarily for parents who need a place to work while their children are cared for in a dedicated adjacent play area. This makes it a unique option—somewhere between a workspace and a family-friendly café. The coffee itself is decent, though the espresso setup is fairly basic. That being said, the baristas know what they’re doing, and the result is a well-made, balanced cup of coffee. You won’t find an extensive coffee menu or specialty drinks here, but for a coworking space, the quality is better than expected. The interior is functional rather than cozy, with a clear focus on productivity. There are multiple seating options, including private work booths, open desk areas, and rooms set up for computer use. The soundproofed booths are a great feature, allowing for focused work or private calls. The attached childcare space is a major highlight, creating an environment where parents can be productive while knowing their kids are being looked after. If you’re looking for a true coffee shop experience, this isn’t the place. But if you need a coworking space where your child is engaged while you work, it’s a solid concept that’s been executed well. A great option for remote-working parents who need a balance between focus and family.
I dropped my 5.5 yo and 2.5 yo daughters off with their 3.5 yo cousin for a half day during the Holiday Day Camp and Space Day Camp over the break. The owner, Jen, is very friendly, welcoming, and accommodating, and the staff members in the childcare area are enthusiastic- it's obvious they love kids and want to be there. The barista answered all my questions about their drinks and she was very friendly as well! I ordered a simple cappuccino and sipped on it there before heading out; it did not disappoint. When I picked up the kids the first time, they said that had a fun time and were excited to go back for the Space Day Camp after Christmas (which they also had fun at!). The prices are fair and affordable, the atmosphere is clean, unique, and cozy, there are enclosed work rooms, the childcare room is well-suited for littles and a nice play/learning environment, and they even send photos and an overview of what the kids did at the end of the day. Definitely a place to check out for the kiddos and a seemingly great co-working space! We will be back!
If you need a quiet spot outside of your home where you can sip coffee and keep your young kids busy, I highly recommend this new daycare + coworking + cafe combo conveniently located close to 183 & 620/45 routes. This is by far the cutest and cleanest drop-in daycare I've ever seen. They have wonderful teachers, lots of daily activities, programs, holiday camps, etc. The coworking area is quiet and stylish, and they keep adding new items to the cafe menu (which is already cool enough if you ask me 😉). Very reasonable pricing and lots of flexibility. Stop by for a cup of coffee or a quick tour or both! 🤗
