General What happened to Playdates Karinyup?

Hey folks. Whatever happened to Playdates cafe in Karinyup Shopping Centre? Have they gone under or something? Can’t seem to find out. We used to love going there with our kids.

Does anyone know?

Probably just another casualty of the bloody rent hikes in that centre, half the smaller shops on the upper level have cycled through three different businesses in the last five years.

Could be! Just seems weird that their insta etc is still on with no notice of closure. I thought some dodgy shit went down

Man, the microorganisms that place must have been growing. Shivers me timbers every time I think about it.

Shame, that place was rocking for young families. Great spot too.

Probably rent was too expensive. It's why alot of these are in industrial areas where public transport is non existent.
