Further Information

Kaka og krakkar is not just another café in Reykjavík. This is a place designed for parents and children aged 0-3 years. This is not only a typical playroom but also a cafeteria with healthy homemade cakes and healthy snacks for the kids. This is a relaxed space for parents where they can meet and relax while their children use their energy to play in a safe, certified environment. This is not too big a space and will not be too overwhelming for the children with too much to do but at the same time big enough to give parents the opportunity to drink (finally) hot coffee. This will also be a place where you can celebrate birthdays, with good food, photographers etc., without having to clean up after a fun party.

The business idea

1. Have a safe play area for children aged 0-3 years with a ball field, slide, meaningful toys, blocks, etc.
2. Offer hot drinks such as coffee and tea, along with cakes,
3. Serve the best hot chocolate ever,
4. Offer cold drinks such as lemonade, soda, etc.,
5. Offer healthy snacks for children - no added sugars and salt,
6. To offer parents space to sit down and relax, meet other parents, spend quality time with family and friends,
7. Organize birthday parties for children and their parents,
8. Organize cultural events for young children - play different instruments, read books in different languages, search for Easter eggs and more,
9. Organize clothes and toys swaps - encouragement to stay environmentally friendly.

What makes the company different

I am the mother of a one-year-old boy and know what the needs of parents can be. I personally found it difficult to find a place to meet my friends with young children, especially during the winter. There is no such place in Reykjavík.

I want to give parents and the youngest kids cozy space, with safe, certified toys and healty food, where everyone is welcome. The cakes would be baked, never frozen. The hot chocolate would be different than in any other place in Reykjavik. Snacks would be healthy, with no added sugar or salt and water bottles suitable for the children's age.

The space

I decided to invest my savings into this project. My whole heart is in it and my vision is very clear. Unfortunately, my private funds are not enough to make it as good as I'd like to.

The bigger space I will be able to afford, the more toys and entertainment kids will get. I also want to give parents a place to be comfortable and relaxed - this requires space, too.

Below you can see an example of some toys and children equipment we could put there.

Lovely wooden boat will take little sailors far far away into the land of imagination.

If we have enough money for the space that is big enough and money for the item, then we would also have this amazing wooden house with rope tunnel, climbing wall and hiding spot.

The pool with balls is a must, of course!

In the right cornerof this render you can see amazing space for the kids who learn how to walk andcrawl. Safe adventure mat with fun surfaces to crawl on! The mats can be movedaround and create different routes and patterns.

The little triangle next to it is a mirror triangle - super fun for kids all ages! And, of course, completely safe!

The mirror is totally safe:

- it has sticky foil underneath, so even if itbeaks, the pieces don't fall around. The foil keeps the pieces in place, sothere is no possibility to get injured.
- safety checked by TÜV Rheinland - globalcertifying company (https://www.tuv.com/world/en/

The crawling corner consists of 14 modules, that can be moved at anytime - it gives a lot of possibilities to make different 'routes' for the kids.They are not going to be bored with it!

The modules are filled with the sponge and hygenic outer layer. The bottom is anti-slippery. The whole is totally safe and meetthe Öko-tex and Öko-tex 100 standards. No harmful materials used.

Having fun andmeaningful play is not only running around and jumping. I am going to buy lotsof blocks, puzzles, some musical toys, cars, doll house, small kitchen, smallworkshop, etc. I would also have at least few toys that meet the Montessoriapproach.

I would like our kids to play with the best toys, a lot of them made of wood,all of them safe and made with care.

Playing mats, contrast cards, soft toys, baby rockers, etc. are somethig I'dlike to offer the smallest children.

Interior

I want thisspace to be fun for both parents and kids. Lots of colors, DIY decor ideas witha touch of the 70's vibe.

The menu

Therewill be cake. Of course. But not just a cake. Our beautiful and super tastycakes are always baked, never frozen. Made with lots of love by small localmanufacturers who truly live for their job! We will always have a vegan option.Our muffins will be kids friendly. No sugar added, yet full of taste!

My ambition is to serve the best hot chocolat in Reykjavik. Beautiful, cozy,dense, full of flavour comfort food. Just like the one I once tried in Lviv,Ukraine.

Chia puddings will feed people from 6 months to 100 years of age.

Freshly made fruit and vegetable mousse or the little ons, made with steamedvegetables will make all adults jeleaus of their babies' food.

And waffles like nowhere else. Sweet or savoury, but always fresh and healthy.

All kids like bread. I know that and this is why there will be tasty bread andsuper tasty hummus to spread over it.

It's not a fancy menu. But it is fresh, healthy food full of taste andnutritional value everyone needs. Regardless of the age.
