Our Team

 

Sarah Susnar is the owner and operator of Play Cafe. She is a mother of 3 school aged children, Early Childhood Educator, and Doula. She decided to open Play Cafe in 2015 (actually started the process in 2014!!) because she felt that parents and caregivers needed more opportunities to connect, learn, and explore in a safe and warm environment (and have a coffee while they do!). Sarah can often be found at the front pouring coffee, chatting with customers, or facilitating various classes.
