About
Press Play Cafe is Belleville, Ontario’s neighbourhood indoor play cafe — a community hub where children get safe, engaging play zones and parents get barista-made coffee and fresh snacks, all under one welcoming roof. Located at 135 Station Street in the heart of Belleville, Press Play Cafe was founded by owner Amber Lucas with a simple but brilliant premise: that a great day out doesn’t have to mean choosing between keeping the kids entertained and enjoying a decent cup of coffee. The result is a genuinely comfortable space designed equally for children and the grown-ups who bring them. Press Play Cafe describes its vision as a place where creativity and caffeine live in harmony — and that balance is woven into everything it offers, from drop-in play sessions to birthday party bookings and seasonal camps.
As one of Belleville’s newest community hubs, Press Play Cafe is perfectly suited for casual playdates, parent meetups, and birthday parties alike. Families travelling from across the Bay of Quinte region — including Trenton, Quinte West, Prince Edward County, Napanee, Brighton, Deseronto, and Stirling — will find it a refreshingly relaxed and well-considered kids’ play centre near the Bay of Quinte. Play time can be booked online in advance, and gift certificates are available for those looking for a memorable present that delivers real family fun.

Why Belleville and Bay of Quinte Families Choose Press Play Cafe
What sets Press Play Cafe apart from a standard indoor playground in Belleville is the equal care given to both halves of the experience.

Owner Amber Lucas built Press Play Cafe with a community-first vision: a neighbourhood gathering place where families can connect, where parents can actually have a conversation over a quality cup of coffee, and where children are engaged, supervised, and safe. The addition of seasonal camps, membership options, gift certificates, and online booking reflects a thoughtful, well-rounded operation that understands how busy Belleville families actually live. For the Quinte region, it’s a genuinely fresh take on what a kids’ play space can and should be.
