The Nest Play Cafe

06/03/2026

At The Nest, we know most people don’t want to cook on a Friday night!
🍕 When you book a spot to play on Friday evening, you will also receive Greek’s Pizza! We’ll take care of that last 90 minutes of the day with play and pizza…but we’ll let you handle bedtime. 😉
Please book your play session today so we know how much pizza to order.
🪈 Join us for Classy Sundays starting June 7! Classical musicians will take the stage and play from 10-11am. Grab a latte and settle in for a free concert!
