FOX 5 Field Trip: Kentlands Baby Bar

Kentlands Baby Bar is a place where young children and parents can spend time together to play and relax.

Don’t let parenthood stop you from having a good time. 

Kentlands Baby Bar, which opened on June 24, offers a family-friendly cafe with activities for kids under 10 and some downtime for caregivers.

Owner Carolynne Nowrouzi, a mother of two, says the idea came to her when she couldn’t find a high chair at a coffee shop. 

"[I wanted] a place where there are high chairs at every table," Nowrouzi said. "Where you can monitor your child, have a cup of coffee, have a conversation with your family and everybody wins."

With over 15 years of event planning experience, Nowrouzi also hosts weekly events and custom-themed parties.

"It’s very much adult and kid-friendly," Nowrouzi said.
