Little Beans was born in 2010 from a simple dream: a space where both adults and children enjoy spending time. Today, it thrives as a cozy coffee shop for parents and an indoor playground for their kids with two locations, one in Lincoln Park and one in Evanston. The family cafe—an organic-feeling room of natural lighting and tall wood ceilings—serves up Intelligentsia coffee alongside panini, salads, and snacks. The main play space, Little Beans Village, is an option at both locations for kids up to age 6. The Evanston location also has an active space, Big Beans, with a ninja course and gym for kids 5-12 years to play and get out energy. Little Beans also offers classes, events, camps and parties
