TWIRL, OPENING LATE SUMMER IN QUEEN ANNE NEIGHBORHOOD

A Child-friendly Café and Play Space



Date: July 8, 2010

Raising a nineteen (19) month old daughter has been a wonderful challenge for Rebecca Pelletier, owner of Twirl Café, but she soon hopes to make this challenge easier for other Seattle area families. Late this summer, Twirl Cafe will open on bustling Queen Anne Avenue in Seattle (2111 Queen Anne Avenue North). Through her experiences living on Queen Anne, a sense of community has become important to Rebecca. For Twirl, this means partnering with other small, local business to provide unique products and services. The café-style menu will offer breakfast and lunch, and is full of natural, organic, and sustainable menu choices. “The menu has been put together with our little ones in mind. This means lots of healthy snacks and food options,” Rebecca says.

Twirl is not your ordinary family-friendly restaurant. It will include a large play space geared towards children under six that is clean, contained and visible to parents. Designed by Kidtropolis architects, the play area will include an imaginative tree-house structure, as well as many other toys and activities. An upper classroom space will double as an open gym area for additional tumbling and active play. To enable Twirl to sustain a clean, creative, and changing environment, use of the play areas will be based on a small flat-fee. “It will not be your average box of toys,” notes Rebecca.

When open gym is not in session, a variety of classes will be offered at Twirl. These classes will provide a fun learning opportunity for both parent and child. Classes include yoga, puppet making, fitness and exercise, parenting and more. Many of the classes will be child-friendly or provide options for onsite childcare for an additional fee. For parents looking to host birthday parties or private events, Twirl can offer a headache-free experience by providing everything needed.

Twirl will be a comfortable, hip environment for parents to network with other parents, meet their friends with (or without) kids, and have some one-on-one play time with their child(ren). It's a chance to take play outside of the house, and enjoy a good cup of coffee or sandwich (or both!) while you are

at it.
