Get ready for the arrival of a new family-friendly hotspot at Grand Union!
Excitement is brewing at Grand Union with the upcoming launch of Full of Beans, a one-of-a-kind café founded by former BBC Apprentice star Khadija Kalifa. For the first time ever the play cafe will open in London, offering something truly special for families.
In partnership with Bouncing Beans (Playframe), the café will feature a play area of over 25 interactive elements designed for children up to eight years old. With cushioned surfaces, foam structures, and colourful equipment, the space will offer a safe and engaging environment for little ones to explore and enjoy.
Set to open in March, the play café is sure to be a favourite for families looking for a fun day out!
Whilst the children are playing, parents can relax or use the time to catch up on emails in the café area, complete with WiFi and charging facilities. The café also provides a range of hot meals, light snacks, homemade cakes, coffee, shakes and smoothies, as well as an assortment of baby food and gluten free, vegan and halal options.
The soft play will be open daily between 9am and 8pm and is also available for private hire on request. In addition to regular party packages, families will be able to choose from six themes including ‘Princess’, ‘Peppa Pig’, ‘Cars’ and ‘Dinosaurs’. Party packages include food, unlimited access to the soft-play and dedicated experienced ‘Full of Beans’ staff on hand to provide the perfect service throughout.
Khadija Kalifa, Founder and CEO of Full of Beans Coffee Shop, adds: “The Full of Beans Coffee Shop concept, in partnership with Bouncing Beans (Playframe), was formed as a result of my personal experience as a mum juggling my three kids and my business. It was a constant challenge to keep them occupied in the house whilst I was working and I often wished for a larger, third space that would properly accommodate this.
“Full of Beans Coffee Shop provides just that. Across our sites, we have prioritised creating fun, exciting and safe spaces for young children that are also comfortable for parents to work in. Testament to the demand for the offering, Full of Beans Coffee Shop has quickly expanded across Peterborough, Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire and we are now looking forward to opening our fourth site in Grand Union.”
Marcus Blake, Managing Director at St George PLC, comments: “At Grand Union, we are creating a holistic offering that serves our residents and the wider community. The Full of Beans Coffee Shop in partnership with Bouncing Beans (Playframe) is a fantastic new addition to the development, providing a space for children to have fun while giving parents a chance to unwind or catch up on their work. It joins Peapods nurseryPeapods nursery, the Anytime Fitness gym, Crepes + Coffee café, Co-op store and the Community Hub – all of which support our mission of creating a thriving neighbourhood for people of all ages to enjoy.”
