As a working parent of a toddler, I really wish more places like this existed! I was able to bring my daughter here to play, with supervision, while I got some work done and had a coffee on a day my nanny was not available. My daughter had so much fun with the employees and other kiddos! I opted to sit downstairs which is louder, but there is a quiet work/study space upstairs for additional cost. Before we left I also ordered food to go from Shorty's Deluxe. Childcare and food all in one 👌 Highly recommend Mulberry Lane for all the parents!

I visited Mulberry Lane Café in Old Town Alexandria for the first time with my toddler, hoping for a fun and welcoming experience. Unfortunately, it was very disappointing. When we arrived, no one greeted us or offered any guidance, which made things confusing for a first visit. The person at the counter was polite when I asked questions, but overall the atmosphere didn’t feel welcoming. In the play area, there were two adults supervising the kids. The woman who checked us in was kind, but the other one completely ignored my daughter. My toddler tried several times to play with her and the other children, but she was treated as if she wasn’t there. It was upsetting to see her being excluded and ignored the entire time we were there. I can’t imagine how she would have been treated if I hadn’t stayed with her. I understand that everyone can have a bad day, but no child should ever be ignored like that. This was our first and last visit, and I truly hope they take this feedback seriously and treat all children with kindness and attention in the future.

As a stay at home mom, Mulberry Lane was a fantastic place to bring my 2 year old. He would have so much fun playing with the staff and other kids, and I got to sit nearby and catch up on life or work. Great set up for socializing toddlers without having to drop them off at daycare. The staff and manager were fantastic with the kids and always came and got me if my child needed something. I moved out of the area recently and Mulberry Lane is one of the things I miss the most!

I bring my almost 2 year old here all the time! The staff really love him and do a great job of supervising play.

Need more than five stars- Mulberry Lane is an incredible place! We had a birthday party for two three year olds, here and it was a huge success with so much taken care of by the beyond amazing, sweet, talented staff. They supported us in every detail, managed the energetic chaos of 25 kids with care and magic. Could not be happier with our experience. Fiona is truly a planner extraordinaire and Gwen and Allie were so attentive, kind, and gifted with the kids and party execution. Their normal operations are also a blessing for busy parents and so thoughtfully managed. The staff at Shorty’s next door were also great and the sandwiches and coffee were delicious!
