About Us
Glow Worm Play Cafe started as a children’s clothing pop-up in 2017. Our focus was and remains on ethically made goods from around the world. In 2021, Glow Worm began construction on a brick and mortar and opened in November 2021 as Louisville’s first play cafe — an indoor playground for kids with a cute and comfy lounge for parents to hang out in. Glow Worm offers a specialty retail section, food and beverages (locally sourced coffee and tea, sweet treats from our in-house baker, and paninis from Lotsa Pasta), a play area, community classes, and party rentals. Our focus is on community — we love to bring people together!
