Chasing Cali Collective

If you’re a parent in Reading who’s tried to get literally anything done with a toddler in tow, this place makes a lot of sense. The enclosed play area keeps kids ages 2-8 occupied while you actually sit down, drink a decent cup of coffee, and work from the co-working space like a functioning adult. Drop-in childcare is the main draw for regulars, but people also book it for events and there are spa services on top of everything else. It’s the kind of place that shouldn’t work on paper — coffee shop, childcare, spa, co-working all under one roof — but somehow it does.
