Great for kids, not for coffee. We'll be going here again, but I'll be keeping to cold drinks.
You're going here for the soft play, so the fact there's a passable coffee shop attached is just a bonus. The soft play is great for under 5s, easily the best one I've taken my 16 month old.
The cafe has a few cold drinks and cakes. Nothing earth shattering, but it's pretty much a galley kitchen they're operating out of.
Coffee: I had hope going in as they've got an OK set up and 200° beans. It might just have been the staff on the day I went in, but the coffee was not good. Dark roasted beans, over extracted (I think the machine was set too hot) and the milk for my flat white looked like it'd been steamed with a frother wand. Next time I'll pass on the coffee and just have one at home instead.
From the outside, Average Joe's looks like a random warehouse surrounded by other warehouses, but once you walk in it is nothing like what you would expect.
As you walk in, you can see the area that they serve you food and drink (and pay for your childs entry into the soft play). The price for a child is very reasonable at £2 a child for as long as you wish to stay.
They have plenty to eat and drink from fruit juice to milkshakes to Lattes and deluxe hot chocolates, and toast, to pizza, to wraps and pastries along with freshly made cakes and muffins.
There is plenty of seating around the lounge with a few tables littered around. The soft play area itself has a ball pit and a bouncy castle along with plenty of toys and soft play mats. There is an area to dress up too.
Through the next room there is also a full size gym that seems popular with plenty of equipment.
The staff at Average Joe's are kind and funny and you can have a chat and a laugh with them.
They do children's parties here but I do not know current pricing as my daughter had her birthday party here 3 years ago (and loved it).
A lovely space if you're looking for somewhere different for your under 5s to play. A variety of things to keep little ones entertained for a whole morning and nice refreshments when you need them provided by friendly staff.
