Sisters Maria Rapp and Kiki Anderson are launching Peek-a-Brew, a modern play cafe in Old Saybrook, Connecticut, opening May 8th. This 7,000-square-foot establishment features a bistro-style cafe alongside play areas for children up to 6 years old (one specifically for children under 2).
Both sisters left established careers to pursue this venture. Rapp, a former labor and employment attorney, and Anderson, who worked in government intelligence, were inspired by their large Greek family and their mother's successful restaurant, Mirsina's.
The cafe aims to create a space for both parents and children to socialize. Planned events include mommy and me yoga, craft nights, and cupcake decorating. Peek-a-Brew also intends to collaborate with local businesses to offer food items.
Peek-a-Brew will serve coffee, espresso, lattes, mocktails, and light bites such as croissants, muffins, salads, and paninis. Daily hours are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. (Monday-Saturday) and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Sunday).
