Who we are

Highland House was born from the weird mix of chaos, isolation, and wonder that is early parenthood. After having my first baby, I found myself at an indoor playground in Chicago- not only to escape the cold but to take the guess work out of “what do we do today” and to be around other humans. Raising children is not something we are meant to do alone.

After moving to L.A., it wasn’t until I tried to escape summer heat that it really sank in": most places either turn you away for a private party, or they’re packed with flashing lights and noisy machines — cue the meltdown when I don’t have quarters! There just weren’t many welcoming spaces for parents and babies to simply exist. So I decided to build one.

Highland House is a modern indoor play cafe— created not just for little ones, but for the people raising them.

Our Mission

Highland House is a modern indoor play cafe built for families of all kinds. Our mission is to create an inclusive, neighborhood-rooted space where young children play freely and caregivers find coffee, connection, and community support. A place that curates a learning environment for both children and adults led by local professionals.
