Located in the heart of the Hurstville CBD you will find Baby Paraiso. An indoor soft play kids cafe.

Upon arriving I was greeted at the cafe counter and was asked to remove my shoes and was then welcomed into the play centre. The first thing I noticed upon entering the cafe was the amount of natural light flowing in through the large glasss windows making the colour scheme which is a sea of tranquil blues, very inviting.

After entering the cafe you will notice the ample amount of seating available to sit and enjoy a coffee or meal from the cafe while easily supervising the children while they play. The soft play structure is only two levelss which makes it safe and easy to watch children.

Although I didn’t sample the food while at the cafe, I did view the menu. There is a simple kids menu with a number of asian favourites from Pork floss seaweed sandwiches to mini wontons with fruit and juice, along with Mini pizzas and chicken schnitzel and rice. Although the menu wasn’t extensive and mainly targeted the Hurstville demographic I think it provided enough options I believe to satisfy most appetites and with prices starting at $9.00 its a reasonably cheap way to provide a few hours of fun and a full belly. The menu and more are available on my instagram highlights.

The soft play area itself is somewhat a smallish area but it definitely doesnt disappoint when it comes to sensory play. The play area consists of a role play grocery store complete with mini trolleys and a range of faux fruit and vegetables on display just like a real grocery store. Let the kids imaginations run wild while they do the weekly grocery shop.

Moving along to the next role play area where children have the opportunity to dress up, with outfits ranging from princesses to firefighters. Once an outfit has been selected the role playing reaches a whole new level as they navigate the grocery store as Elsa or a construction worker.

Once the role playing has finished its time to move onto the two level soft play structure which they can balance, climb, crawl, weave and slide their way through the obstacles to reach the sea of balls. The soft play area is complete with a wide silver slide straight into the ball pit that is filled with blue, purple and clear balls. There is an interactive projector on the wall which is engaging and elevates the aim of sensory play.

If working on the fine motor skills is more of what you’re after there is a duplo table alongside the soft play area that allows children to build and problem solve and get creative.

For the ultimate in sensory play there is also a room filled with pellets that somewhat resembles an indoor sandpit that children can wade through while filling up their dump trucks or buckets.

We enjoyed our morning at Baby Paraiso kids cafe and after much research found that this is the perfect venue to escape the weather with toddlers who have energy to burn. I feel that the cafe is suitable for children up to 5 years old.

The cafe can however be a little tricky to find but I found that if you utilise the council car park located at 7-11 The Avenue Hurstville and then take the lift to level G it will open up at the exact level of the cafe. Turn right from the lift and then after proceeding through the glass door turn right again and you are there.

Parking is easy, Although I was of the belief it was free for 3 hours. However, upon leaving after 45mins I was charged $2.00 so I believe the parking is no longer free but I didn’t check for their rates.

The cafe is also available to hire if you’re planning a party! Details of party hire are available on our instagram highlights.

Overall we enjoyed our time at Baby Paraiso and would visit again, maybe taking advantage of Westfields free 3hr parking and walking the short distance to the cafe, this cafe is definitely somewhere I would suggest a play date with a friend or just somewhere to escape the weather while enjoying a coffee or milk tea.

TIP: Always call ahead to confirm they are not closed due to a private function and to confirm any pricing changes. I did however find that they are very poor at answering the phone so be mindful. Check out our instagram highlights for more photos and current pricing as of June 2022.

The cafe is open Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm, closed on Saturdays and open Sundays 9am to 1pm.

This cafe is a welcomed edition to the local community and I hope to see them flourish for many years.
