We visited MakeBelieve whilst we were on holiday in Edinburgh and loved it! The play area was a welcome quiet safe space for our child to move around, burn some energy and reset, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Coffee was good too!

We love love love this place. The ladies have done such a fab job setting up a fun and calm ( a difficult combination to make work with babies/toddlers) environment. Our son loves a trip to make believe, as do we. Fab coffee and snacks; and the ladies are huge cheerleaders for parents too which is so lovely

This is from my point of view the best play cafe I’ve been to, when it comes to babies and toddlers! Everything is quite safe for small kids, it is very clean, the staff is friendly and they have a very good selection of toys.
