Mulberry Lane Play Cafe in Del Ray and The Roost

At Mulberry Lane, we’re flipping the script on family time. This isn’t just another play space - it’s a community hub where kids get to explore, create, and connect, while parents get a much-needed breather.

​

We built Mulberry Lane with real parents in mind (because we are them). That means spaces designed for every stage: open-ended play areas, imaginative role-play zones, a dedicated toddler nook, and programming that sparks joy and brainpower — from art workshops to story times. Think “playdate meets creative lab.”

​

And for the growups, we’ve built our spaces adjacent to an eclectic array of dining options – from Del Ray’s ‘Culinary Campus’ featuring the Evening Star, HiFi Tex Mex BBQ, Planet Wine, The Majestic Bar and Shorty’s Deluxe - to The Roost; a veritable playground for eating and drinking on South Capitol Hill, all of which can be enjoyed with the knowledge that your little ones are in safe hands.

 

Because here’s the thing: parenting shouldn’t mean putting your life on hold. At Mulberry Lane, kids thrive, parents exhale, and everyone wins. Want to know exactly how we keep things safe and sound? Head to our FAQ page for the full scoop.
