Comments on: What I really think about PriPri Cafe

Another thing to keep in mind is that while Pripri is very, very kid-friendly, they don’t — and have never — billed themselves as a “play cafe”. As a frequent Pripri customer, I share your frustrations about that long hallway with the open door at the end, but I really don’t think it’s much different than the play area under the dart board at the Kensington Circus Pub.

Just a heads up to eveybody who wants the baby gate- and no I am not a PriPri employee and TOTALLY agree with some of the rants and feedback here- ALBANY FIRE CODES WILL NOT ALLOW THEM TO PUT UP A BABY GATE. Besides the front area is for folks who just want to be at a cafe- with no admission charge they have to cater to all sorts of clients- not just the chatty moms who bring their own food (PriPri is liable for this too, see the Health Dept for that) or hang out all day with drip coffee and a bagel.

I feel the same way about PriPri. The owners are friendly and the food is to die for (I LOVE the Spanish sausages and Manchego cheese with Argentinian quince paste), but the place is a little on the raggedy side. Plus last week, I had the biggest scare of my life. I turned my back for a few minutes to talk to my mom’s group, and before I knew it, my two year old had run out the front door, which was wide open! Thank god another mom from the mom’s group was with my son, but had she not been there, he could have been run over on the busy street. I know I should have an eye on my son (every minute, of course), but it would make me feel tons better if they would at least put a baby gate on the door!

I want to love PriPri too- and sometimes its just what the family needs, a big plate of tapas and and to be allowed to play on stairs. But all the notes about what is allowed and what isn’t reminds me of a nagging mother. I am a fairly environmentally conscious person, but a note that reminds me “Is the light off?” makes me want to bring an extra lamp to leave on in the bathroom. Don’t run, watch your kids, no throwing, AAAGH! It’s like your nagging mother is there. Hey, I’m a nagging mother myself, I don’t need an extra one around.

[...] Second stop, cafe PriPri. Also, limited selection of puddles on the back patio and they were closing up shop. So, I promised we’d keep looking. I packed him back into the carseat and tried very hard to think of a safe place for a mini person to splash in puddles in the dark. [...]
