The Ruby Play Cafe

If you’ve got a toddler in Sandhurst, you’ll end up here eventually — and you’ll probably become a regular. Ruby Play Cafe is an indoor setup aimed squarely at the under-5s, with a play area that’s compact enough that you can actually keep an eye on your kid while you drink a coffee that’s still hot. They do birthday parties properly, with themed events that take the stress off parents rather than adding to it. Parking’s easy, there’s baby changing on site, and the staff are the kind who actually seem to like children.
