What is Platia?
Platia sits on Upper Kololo Terrace in Kololo, Kampala, and combines a coffee roastery, a restaurant and a children's amusement space in one compound. It opened in 2019 and has become a regular stop for Kampala families: there is an indoor imagination centre for toddlers to pre-teens, and an outdoor wooden playground with non-standard, creative toys.
The indoor play area is billed per hour, and the outdoor playground is included with a meal or drink. Platia also runs themed activities and can be rented for birthday parties. The coffee is roasted on site, and the restaurant serves through the day.
Platia runs a supervised indoor play centre and a creative outdoor playground alongside its restaurant and roastery.
