Green Monkeys Play Cafe

If you’re a local parent, chances are you already know about Green Monkeys. This Ethelton cafe gets the balance right — decent coffee that you’ll actually want to drink while the kids burn off energy in the indoor play area. The setup means you can keep an eye on them without hovering, which makes conversation with other adults a lot easier. Staff are genuinely friendly, not just going-through-the-motions friendly. It’s become a bit of a regular haunt for families in the area, and honestly, you can see why.
