Most restaurants with a playground are fast food, but Sarah’s Café and Anniversary Park offers a more unique experience.
For one, Anniversary Park and Sarah’s Café are two separate businesses located on the intersection of Strecker and Clayton that go great together.
Second, Anniversary Park is outside and it’s not just for the little tykes.
The park has swings, slides, a merry-go-round and monkey bars. There is even a creek behind the park ready to be explored.
With the weather heating up, it feels good to be outside and a park is a fun place to go with friends when bored.
Then Sarah’s Café has the food: sandwiches, salads, wraps and desserts made fresh daily. It’s a great place to go for breakfast and lunch. Once through the door, the cozy atmosphere caters a relaxing environment for friends all ages.
Sarah’s Café and Anniversary Park are walking distance from Lafayette and are great places to spend a nice spring or summer afternoon with family and friends.
