The Lullabar, a new wellness cafe for mothers and caregivers, recently opened its doors at Beacon La Costa in South Carlsbad. Read on to learn more about The Lullabar's variety of services and amenities designed to help mothers relax, recharge, and reconnect with themselves and their community.
A Wellness Cafe to Relax, Recharge + Get Stuff Done
The Lullabar's founders, Stephanie and Christine, are both mothers who know the importance and also the struggle of finding time for self-care.
"Christine and I vented to each other about how difficult it was to get time for ourselves without feeling the guilt of leaving our kids home," said Stephanie. "We said to each other ‘wouldn't it be nice to have adult-centered atmosphere WITH a play gym? How cool would that be?'"
Two years later, that dream has become a reality. The Lullabar is a beautiful, welcoming space located just off of El Camino Real and La Costa Ave in South Carlsbad featuring a full cafe and coffee bar, a wellness workshop room, a luxe nail salon, and a kids play gym.
Kids Play Gym
The Lullabar is centered around the kids play gym, with self-care services like workshops and mani/pedis offered within the two-hour slots. The play gym is a beautiful, clean space designed with natural materials and bookings for the gym must be made in advance. The cost is $35 per child for a 2-hour reservation, $20 for a sibling and $17.50 for a third sibling.
Luxe Nail Salon
The Lullabar's nail salon is set on giving moms and caregivers a restorative, pampering experience. You can even order coffee while you're receiving your treatments! Prices start at $59 for a gel manicure and all of The Lullabar's nail products are clean and vegan.
Cafe + Connection
The relaxing, well-appointed cafe is open to the public and offers espresso coffee drinks, matcha and kids steamers. The cafe also offers baked goods from local bakery Prager Bros plus sandwiches, salads, chia puddings and desserts made by local plant-based chef Nicole Estrada of Fresh Creations.
The cafe also offers free Wifi, making it a great place to catch up on work or have a coworking session with other working parents while your kids are entertained in the play gym.
