We recently celebrated a joint 5th birthday party at Playbox, and it was absolutely perfect! The role play café setup was a huge hit with the kids — from astronauts to builders and shopkeepers, they loved diving into each imaginative zone. The space was safe, clean, and so thoughtfully designed, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout. It was the ideal mix of fun and structure, giving the kids freedom to explore while keeping everything running smoothly. The food table was beautifully set up, and the team made sure everything went off without a hitch. Both birthday stars had the best time! We would 100% recommend Playbox!

Sat there the other day, by far the best coffee in Enfield. They clearly sourced the beans from a really good roastery. The carrot cake was delicious, people were kind and the chilled jazz music in the background was the perfect break from the city noise. Highly recommended!

Coffee is delicious and play space is clean, inspiring and diverse. The team are friendly and thoughtful. They have rearrange tables when we have arrived with friends. My children love coming. A great spot for play dates and for grandparent childcare days.

Absolutely loved our experience at play box. They totally nailed the play and cafe concept. Very clean, trendy and organised. Perfect amount of toys, not to overwhelming for kids. And the best part was that the food and coffee were actually really good. I hope in the future a small soft play can be added and that there are more cafes like this one, with this quality. I also hope they can maintain the cleanliness and quality.

Playbox is fantastic! My son had an absolute blast! The staff are super friendly and helpful, and the place is spotless. The food is healthy and very appealing to a 4 year old. Also the coffee is delicious, especially with the unexpected coffee art! Highly recommend it.

My son had the best time at the train session, first thing he asked when we left was when he could come back. Place was clean, and well looked after and the people were lovely and the food was great.

I am so grateful for the incredible 3rd birthday party Playbox hosted for our daughters 3rd birthday recently. It was truly an amazing experience. The children thoroughly enjoyed playing downstairs for the first hour, and then the celebration continued to the upstairs party room. We chose a teddy bear's picnic theme, and I was absolutely blown away by how the team went above and beyond to decorate the room and serve the food to perfectly match our theme. Our guests were all equally impressed, everyone commented on how wonderful it was. I couldn't fault a single aspect of the party. The service was brilliant, with a special thank you to Momo. The party room exceeded all our expectations, and the food was both healthy and delicious. I cannot recommend Playbox highly enough. Thank you once again for making our daughter's birthday so special.
