I've been going to My Coffee House on and off for about a year now. The cafe still has the same great toys it always had, but there have been a few changes.
First, the staff was notably more kid-friendly the last time I stopped by. Before, they felt like bored teens in a cafe that just happened to have toys. Now the baristas
Second, the cafe was much more crowded - I'm glad this place is thriving and hope copy-cats spring up, but expect things to get a little hectic. It still doesn't match the mall playgrounds in mid-winter, though.
The rest is about the same - the food choices are great for kids, the bathrooms need toilets with lids to keep kids from sticking their hands in the toilet water, the toys are great but possibly dangerous for younger kids, the coffee is mediocre and only slightly better than Starbucks, and overall the place has some "rough edges". However, it tops my list for indoor places to hang out and relax while the kids have fun even though it takes an hour to get to for us.
On the other hand, I'm expecting more places like this to show up soon - this place is so crowded, there is obviously a market for this special family-friendly type of cafe. There is definitely still room to improve, and I am sure someone will improve.
