Moomah

We are in NYC a lot and the first time we went to this place soon after it opened it was amazing. The crafts were pricey but fun and not made in China, the forest room was amazing, and the food was good. The people were also nice. Since then every visit has been an utter disappointment. The crafts have been far less enticing to the kids. The staff arrogant and mean at worst, aloof at best except for the craft table people who just seem overwhelmed and still not as friendly as int he past (or engaged by the crafts). The forest room just seems tired and grungy and less functional and the joy is gone. After three or four tries we stopped going last fall. What a shame.

Was here yesterday with a friend for lunch. Though we dont really hang out in Tribeca, we wanted to try them out before they close. As soon as you walk in you will be welcomed with parked baby strollers and the sound of kids in the back just being kids busy with their arts and crafts.
We ordered a Sandwich Cubano (special of d day), a Tuna Wrap, a chai latte and a Rice Milk Vanilla Latte. I was not surprised it was $$$, of course its Tribeca price. Our sandwiches were pretty good. The Cubano sandwich came with a salad n the tuna wrap came with blue tortilla chips with no guac on *it was extra charge for d guac dip. Wish the guac was free if they r serving chips on d side, dont u think?
The Chai Latte tasted like it watered down and her Vanilla Latte had a really strong taste of d coffee. It came in a big cup so maybe the proportions were off for a 16oz cup?
For their $ 5 coffee, m not a fan I’d go look for another café in the area but for their sandwiches I would have it again when I feel like splurging on a $ 12 sandwich.

Lovely place! My hubby, 5 month old daughter and I walked here Saturday afternoon for coffee and to hang out. Family friendly and yummy coffee. Sad news that it’s closing as I can see me bringing my daughter here to do art projects when she gets older. :(a little expensive though, $ 5 for a small decaf and medium coffee (regular coffee!).

I notice this is the building the club Wetlands used to be in; I went here for the first time this afternoon. I had some time to kill and was hungry, and this place happened to be around the corner from the place I was going. I had their TLT (tempeh-​lettuce-​tomato;) it was a very good version, with mixed greens on the sandwich and flavorful tempeh on wholegrain bread. I’d really have preferred getting a side salad to a handful of blue chips, though.
This is a very airy space with neat artwork on the walls. Yeah, there were a lot of kids, but I go to other kid-​friendly places like ‘snice, and it’s a pretty great thing when parents are encouraged to bring their kids to restaurants. As another reviewer remarks, this ain’t another Chuck-​E-​Cheese.
It’s really good to have this place in the neighborhood; this is actually the first time I’ve noticed it, because I used to walk dogs here a few years ago and this place definitely wasn’t here then. Vegan-​friendly, great coffee, and free wi-​fi; I’ll have to start carrying my laptop more places.

Love it. Counter Culture coffee and amazing salads. My idea of heaven.

Simply put — avoid. Certainly not worth the trip if traveling or local. The kid friendly theme is cute though the lack of stroller access or changing tables should be a tip-​off that this is a front for tribeca mommy’s trying to hang on to a thread of hip. If for some reason you have to go make sure to eat before you arrive as for new york the food is ridiculously bad.

this is a wonderful place to go with your child. The food was healthy and tasty. the crafts were a lot of fun (albeit a bit pricey). they also have toys to entertain your little one. it was nice to go to a place and not worry about my child. the bathrooms are also great (changing tables, wipes, potty seats). would recommend.

My new favorite TriBeCa breakfast spot! With a healthy, diverse and delicious menu choice, a fun and artistic ambiance, and friendly staff, Moomah is a great place to stop off for breakfast on my walk from the train to work. Great coffee, and they even had almond or rice milk to add to my granola! Looking forward to trying their other menu items as well.

More often than not, this place is full of strollers and mothers with their children. Some of the mothers are pretty cute, and the space is nicely decorated and pretty cool for kids. It’s clean, but you cannot eat here without 1) spending a lot for relatively little, and 2) sitting among mommies and kiddies.

I don’t frequent the Tribeca area, but I am amiss in not not doing so. Moomah is evidence that there is much to be enjoyed «below» the radar in this ‘hood. It is, quite possibly, the perfect café. Many will be put off by the 3-​year-​olds running around freely and the number of nursing moms with babies — that the café attracts the stroller set is not news if you read the other reviews.
This is not, by any stretch, however, a Chuck-​E-​Cheese.
The place is so creatively and charmingly designed that it is a pleasure to be here, kids and all. The kicker is that so many NY cafes make it impossible to linger around — but here you can truly sit and enjoy a coffee and light lunch, read for a while — or — shocker — use your laptop. There’s even free wifi! What? Wifi and 3^rd wave coffee together is like oil and water in NYC. You want Wifi? Suck it up and go to Starbucks. Or here.
Okay, I admit to being a «rejuvenile» and enjoy the kiddie kitsch and the whole aesthetic. Crayons on the table just might beg me to spontaneously draw something for the fun of it… but it would all be nothing if the food and drink weren’t up to par. Here you will get fantastic food and fantasmic atmosphere all in one.

I visited Moomah almost every day while I was in New York. It is a great place for breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack.
I found the space very fun. The shelves are lined with very creative and beautiful shadow boxes. There are also many cleverly created arts and crafts projects available for purchase. Have a coffee, a snack and build a bird house!
This is a great place to take children. The place is geared to making families feel comfortable and to give moms and dads a place to get their coffee and enjoy time with their children.
I don’t have kids but the kid inside of me thought this place was a little bit of fun heaven.

Moomah is the coolest!!! Their space is very charming and whimsical, and they have a ton of creative crafts for artists of every age. The staff are so great! They are funny, personable, and very easy to work with. The café has a great selection of healthy fair, and really amazing coffee. They also serve BEER and WINE! I would love to come here with my friends some night, drinks some wine and make a block printed tote bag. Hopefully, they will start extending their hours in the future so the adults can enjoy Moomah as much as moms and kids do. Thanks for a great time Moomah!

This was my favorite place to go every morning last year when I worked in the area (not sure how it has changed since then). The décor is charming and obviously targeted towards parents & children. The staff is very friendly and knowledgable, and any food I got here was always delicious. I mostly came for the coffee, which was always made well. The bagel w/​egg & cheese is a good size and very tasty. I also really enjoyed their oatmeal with walnuts, raisins, brown sugar, and a splash of cream. The prices might be a little higher than I’m comfortable with, but this place is worth a visit if you’re in the area.

This place is incredible! Food is deliscious and very healthy. Also well priced. Staff is great, and the atmoshpere is very pleasant. There are kiddos here all the time, but that has not stopped me from plugging in and working for a few hours on end. Reccomend it to anyone looking for a great café to work in, with healthy food, and you can even do an art project there! I purchased a card for fathers day (that was probably meant for a five year old) but the art projects really are very creative and fun. Love it! PS — get the mermaid salad — in heaven.

I stopped in here today after Jury Duty around 5pm timeframe. I had to meet a prospect over in the Sunshine office space on Debrosses, and this café is one block away.
Upon entering, you’re greeted with a long skinny space, very inviting, though rather quiet. I don’t know if it’s always that quiet.
Grabbed an everything bagel and humus. Tasty, did the trick for my early evening snacking needs.
I also noticed the place is super kid-​friendly, although there weren’t any kids here at the moment. Looks like they do fingerpainting & craft classes. If my nieces and nephews lived in the city, I would probably take them here!

A fun place, good food, a bit pricey. The place is pretty small but a welcome outing during NYC winters. My 1 yr old loved the food and the freaky forest and so did I.

Be prepared for tons of kids, strollers, and mommies. It’s pretty much mommyville… which is cool, if that’s your scene. Reminds me of two boots in brooklyn.
The food is a tad expensive, but pretty good.

A nice place for mom’s to go with the kids for a snack and art project. Crafts are pretty pricey though. Honestly I would mostly go for the great organic snacks and coffee and my daughter loved the «Freaky Forest»
and the «puppet lady»

Decent coffee, good bagels and yogurt parfaits, kids creative kits are pricey but the time out in a new environment is nice.
The space is awkward for families. The narrow layout means lots of «excuse me» as you navigate tables and booths.
No ramp for strollers (if you need help, someone will come help you lift the stroller) and on crowded days, it’s all bumper strollers in front which means the front sofa area is inaccessible.
The majority of the staff is great, friendly, accessible. Sometimes they hover over the parents/​caretakers and project makers. While I appreciate help, I don’t always know what to do with them because I’m sitting there helping my daughter.

offers an interesting selection of foods. sustainable organic and seasonal — known as a creative arts café for kids and mom’s to relax
