The Dirty Penguin Coffee

Last year we discovered a little gem near us, The Dirty Penguin Coffee. This was a great spot for parents to energize with a coffee break while little ones burn off some energy in this open play area. They also hosted story time on Friday mornings. But with the pandemic, they are needing our support to stay open.

This place is all about community. Their mission focuses on it and states: “We are so passionate about community! We are thankful that coffee creates opportunities for our community to gather. Our space is one of inclusion, where each of our customers are valued and welcomed, including children. Our fun and funky atmosphere inspires creativity and play. We are thankful for our local business community and the support we receive from other small businesses. The Dirty Penguin will always encourage collaboration and creativity by using our space to fuel our customers brilliant ideas and hosting events and workshops of our own.”

Whether you are craving a specialty latte, one of their brunch items, or a delicious pastry, we think you deserve to have a treat.

From The Dirty Penguin: “Parents NEED community (and often coffee!) Kids need a safe place to play. Our vision is to create a place for parents to relax AND have quality coffee while their children purposefully play within eye glance. The Little Penguin Play Café provides a fun and engaging environment for children to learn, explore, and play.”

We hope that they will be open for inside dining when it is safe, but for now, visit and support small business.
