About Us

Little Beans is a family café and an imaginative playspace for kids of all ages. Our café boasts a delicious assortment of coffee drinks and snacks where parents can enjoy the ambiance of our comfortable café with their tiny tots. At Little Beans, kids have the freedom to play, learn, imagine and create in our custom interactive indoor village and playground. We are truly a destination that is fun for the whole family.

City living can be cramped and stressful, especially on those cold or rainy Chicago days. Let us make the coffee and then let us do the cleanup. Gone are the days when the only option for entertaining your kids was the indoor playground at the local mall. With Little Beans in the neighborhood, you can now spontaneously stop in anytime for a cup of joe, a snack and a romp around the playground. Little Beans isn’t just another place to play, it’s a place your kids will beg you to stay.

Please note that parents must stay on the premises while the kids are in the playspace and that socks are required and will be sold at our coffee bar should you forget.
