As a busy mom, caffeine is often a must on many days, and all days for some mothers! Visiting a local coffee shop is a great way to support local businesses and get a great cup of coffee or tea. However, when you have little ones, it’s easy to avoid or dread heading out to a place like a coffee shop. Thankfully, Forsyth County has many kid-friendly coffee shops and bars that have everything from toys and trains for little ones to play with to entire kids’ rooms.
Chad’s Chai
This is a teahouse, not a coffee shop, but it has some delicious, caffeinated beverages all the same. As a bonus, it has a fun kids’ corner that is stocked full of books, toys and games. It’s a great space to keep little ones entertained.

Dog-eared Coffee Company
This coffee shop was just taken over by new owner Alicia Lilly who has put considerable time and effort into revamping this shop and kids’ area. The kids’ room is so cute and actually its own separate little room (with little windows that look into the main shop). There are tons of toys and even a play kitchen.

Footnote Coffee & Cocktails
Footnote itself doesn’t have a kids’ area, but it has attaching doors to Bookmarks, which has an amazing space for little ones. You can easily grab a coffee or tea at Footnote and take it over to Bookmarks. Their kids’ area has a lot of seating and pillows for reading as well as a little table with Legos hidden in its center compartment.

Kyles Coffee
This family oriented coffee shop is not only known for its great brews, but also for its kids’ area. Kids who visit love playing with the toys and train table. There is also a chalk wall they can draw on.

The Bookhouse
While this is technically a bookshop, there is a coffee bar inside. You can get your caffeine fix and then let the little ones play in the kids’ area which has so many great kids’ books and a fun train table.
