Ok I am a local.
There isn't a cafe with a kiddies play area as such.
I like Ruddies Cafe which is on the main street by paperplus. They have couches in front of a fire and two bins of toys. They also have an outside area at the back which is nice when it isn't raining.
Down the one way street that has ANZ on the corner is Copper Kettle cafe. It is pretty big with a heap of seating and an extensive menu, and I think they have toys.
I haven't really been to any of the other cafes, but there are a heap as well as two bakeries and two chinese places. So if it is a nice day you could always get takeaways and go down to the Cherry Grove which is beside the river. Or keep going out of town once you have your food and there is a nice little park over the second bridge.
Oh and if it is fairly nice there is a playground by the pools on Turaki St.
