Cribsheet Cafe 2
Posted on July 2nd, 2009 – 11:38 AMBy May Chen
The Cribsheet playdate is back by popular demand!
Write this down in your calendars:
Saturday, July 11, 10am to noon at Java Train, 1341 Pascal Street, St. Paul, MN 55108.
It’s right between the State Fairgrounds and Como Park. Click here for directions.
Last year, we had the first Cribsheet playdate in Minneapolis so we thought it was only fair to head east of the river this year.
We had a blast last year. It was so amazing to meet Cribsheeters in real life and put faces to names.
To those who came last year, we’re so looking forward to seeing you again. For those who didn’t come last year, here’s a link to remind you what you missed and (hopefully) persuade you to show up!
We picked Java Train because some of you had suggested it as a venue for last year. Kay and I checked it out Thursday and it has a great outdoor play area with a “water tower” and a sandbox as well as an indoor play area with a ”train” kids can climb into if the weather’s bad.
And I can vouch for their cranberry scones. Yum.

I wish I could make it!–especially since I missed the last one as well. But we’re going to be out of town on vacation that week. But I’ve been to the train coffee shop and it’ll be a fun place to meet. They also have games, etc. for kids.
Now I’m going to try and find last year’s thread about people’s secret watching spots for fireworks. We’ve told our 5 year-old she can watch them this year…
I wish I could be there, but that’s the same time as my class! I’ll have to plan for next year!!
Hoping to make it!!
I’m sad to say we can’t go this time. I just got off the phone with one of the managers talking about their menu and safety around food allergies and it won’t be safe for us. My daughter has multiple food allergies, including peanuts.
Although the manager was very nice and willing to prepare food in a way that would be safe, the fact that they serve peanutbutter and jelly sandwiches means there’s a very high chance that some of that peanutbutter (even fingerprints) would be on the kids toys and indoor/outdoor play areas.
I can’t take the risk that my daughter would play with a toy and then put her hands in her mouth (like all small children) and have a potentially life-threatening reaction.
I know these risks are everywhere, like at the park or at the mall, but since they actually serve peanutbutter on the menu, there is a very high chance that some of those sticky fingers would spread the peanut oils.
We’ll be there and I’m brining grandma with me since my mom is in town.
We’ll be there. Looking forward to it!
[…] Saturday to meet up with fellow Cribsheeters. 10am-Noon See details and directions in May’s previous post here. We had so much fun meeting everyone last year we hope to see you […]
