M&M Indoor Playground and Cafe

Oakdale parents, this one’s worth knowing about. M&M keeps kids from toddlers up to age 8 busy inside while you actually sit down and drink a decent cup of coffee — and apparently the coffee here is legit, not an afterthought. The owners have a reputation for being genuinely warm, the kind of people who make you feel like a regular even on your first visit. It’s also a solid pick for birthday parties if you want someone else to handle the chaos for once.
