The mission of Café au Play is to create a nonprofit coffeehouse designed to meet the needs of diverse families for a comfortable, accessible space that encourages social interaction, genuine and sustainable support, creative stimulation, and community inclusion.

The coffeehouse nourishes community connections by:

• Offering a familiar and communal activity, sharing food and drink, that promotes social interaction
• Creating a leveling experience where all people are equal within its walls
• Providing a space where people can drop-in daily and develop friendships with other “regulars” naturally forming genuine support networks
• Drawing families in and allowing them to stay longer to build community and access Café au Play’s programs and services
