No Kids in the Coffee Shop — The Way It Should Be?
Coffee shops in Pleasant Hill are full of spillable hot drinks and expensive laptops. Are they any place for kids? And if so, should they make an effort to be more child-friendly?
Taking a child into a coffee shop in Pleasant Hill can be an unnerving experience. If you manage to navigate the labyrinth of hot drinks and laptops without your child knocking something over, then there's the question of how to keep them entertained.
Try asking for some crayons with your cappuccino, and you might get turned down and have to resort to playing Mickey Mouse videos on your smartphone.
But should children be welcome in the coffee shop at all? And if so, could these businesses in Pleasant Hill make more of an effort to welcome young ones? After all — parents need their caffeinated pick-me-ups too.
