Good Life Clubhaus Juice Bar & Play Café — Restaurant in Town of Hempstead

I took my two daughters here (ages 5 and 7) and they had a BLAST and kept talking about their experience even days after our visit. They allow you to drop off your kids in the play area and you can go to the cafe/bar area to eat and drink. The playroom is separated by a wall so it does feel like you are "dropping off" the kids with "babysitters". However, since my younger child was clingy and not ready to detach, she was uncomfortable with me leaving the play area. There is a small bench for parents in the playroom, but I could tell that it was intended for grownups to go to the bar/cafe - probably because of the limited space for grownups within the playroom itself although I wish there was more comfortable seating for parents in the playroom for those with little ones under 3 or for those children who have a hard time separating. I did notice that the playroom attendant did raise her voice a little at the children when they weren't following the rules (e.g. more than 1 kid climbing a ladder at once), and I wished she would have addressed them a bit more calmly - but I get it (there were lots of kids and need to keep them safe). The playroom includes monkey bars, a rock climbing wall, ball pit, toys, a loft area with a slide, and more! The bar area is beautiful, and there are windows into the playroom so you could technically see your children at all times (but not hear them, lol). Comfortable seating on the cafe side. We didn't order any smoothies or juices, but we did get hot food. The adult chicken tenders & fries were OK - I'll probably try something else next time. Kids' menu was good and reasonably priced and the food was fresh. The best part was the warm and welcoming owners - even the owners' daughter played so nicely with my girls! I definitely plan to return to the Clubhaus again and again, and I have already spread the word to my local mom friends! A plus is that it is Latina-owned and that it is just 5 minutes from...

Good Life in Merrick is an absolute gem! From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with a bright and welcoming atmosphere that instantly puts you in a good mood. You can tell there was so much thought and design that was put into the building and renovation of this space. This place has truly nailed the trifecta of a perfect outing: delicious food options, refreshing and healthy smoothies, and a fantastic play space for the little ones.

Let's start with the food. The menu is thoughtfully curated with a variety of choices to satisfy any craving. Whether you're in the mood for classic waffles, a bacon egg and cheese or flavorful avocado toast with a perfectly fried egg, or something a little more unique, Good Life delivers on taste and quality. The ingredients are fresh, the portions are generous, and everything is beautifully presented.

Moving on to the smoothies - The selection is extensive, catering to all sorts of preferences and dietary needs. Whether you're looking for a post-workout boost, a healthy meal replacement, or just a delicious and refreshing treat, Good Life has you covered. I tried their strawberry banana blast and it was fresh and delicious.

But what truly sets Good Life apart is their incredible play space. As a parent, finding a place where I can enjoy a meal while my children are happily entertained is like striking gold. The play area is clean, safe, and thoughtfully designed with age-appropriate activities that will keep any child entertained. It's a fantastic setup that allows parents to relax and enjoy their food or drink without constant interruptions, while still being able to keep an eye on their little ones.

Overall, Good Life is a fantastic addition to Merrick. It's the perfect spot for families, friends, or anyone looking for a delicious meal, a healthy smoothie, and a welcoming environment. The combination of excellent food and drinks with a dedicated play area is a...

Came here during the week for lunch with my mom and 5 year old son. When we first walked in the man behind the counter was very welcoming. We start looking at the menu and my son is excited to play in the little play area. This place advertises itself like you buy some food and a drink and your kid plays. As I begin ordering, the women behind the counter says “do you know how this place works” i said no not really I just follow on Instagram. Here is the whole point of my story- we were the ONLY ones in there, it’s 1:00 pm on a Tuesday afternoon. Not only are we the only ones in the restaurant , there’s not even any foot traffic outside. She says “you have to pay $20 to play for 90 minutes” I said, well we only have about 20 minutes before we have to be somewhere. She says “well you have to either book online or walk in and we only do 90 minutes and on the weekend it’s $25”. Mind you - NO ONE IS IN THERE. No one is even walking around outside. It didn’t even look like anyone has been there yet for the day. It’s midweek. I’m not going to pay $20 for my son to play for 15,20 minutes. So they lost an entire customer and a food and drink order for 3 people. Not smart marketing in my opinion! I will never be back again! And I was planning on bringing all my friends and their kids back as the menu and place was nice. But after this horrible experience and my son being super disappointed I won’t ever consider this place again. The right thing to do was “hey. Check it out today for a little while but when you come back it’s $20 for 90 minutes “. Smh! It doesn’t cost them anything to let my kid check it out. In times like these you should absolutely be a little more accommodating. 0 stars in my book I don’t even care what the food...
