A cafe, indoor play space & community hub.
Glow Worm Cafe & Play has been serving the Louisville area since 2021. We offer a gourmet coffee shop and bakery alongside a Reggio Emilia and Montessori inspired play space for children aged 6 and under. But we aren’t just a play space. We are a community hub for families in the Louisville area. We are the only space in the city that is for both kids and caregivers — not just one or the other.

About Glow Worm
Glow Worm started in 2017 as a pop-up children’s clothing boutique, and as our customer base grew, so did the need for a space for parents in our community.
