LEGO Friends City Park Café 3061

I got it for my 6 year old as a birthday gift. She has never played with LEGO before (she has never been in to the blocks). She loved every part of it: building the coffee shop (it is pretty easy to assemble), adding all accessories, playing with it. This product is high quality: description of assembly is easy for 6 year old to understand, all the pieces fit as they are supposed to, there is tons of cute accessories like utensils, milkshakes glasses, pots ect. The only complaint we have is about tarts (or cupcakes). They are plastic forms with unattached lego dots, so the dots fall out easily. they are so tiny that is really hard to find them. We may have to use some super glue;))). Overall we love this product!

I bought this for my five year old and it was great fun to put together. She did have a few issues when we were putting the "shell" of the cafe together that she needed my help on, but for the most part it was a great experience. We had a lot of fun with it and will definitely be looking at more LEGO friends sets.Major drawback was that some of the pieces were tough for her little hands to snap together. We overcame this by building the entire cafe as a team, big fun.What we liked about it: Building the cafe was a fun experience for Daddy/Daughter time, and this was her first "biig kid" LEGO set.It also shipped very quickly arrived 2 days earlier than projected.

I was thrilled that LEGO Friends came out. My daughter loves to build. She did do this and a couple others I got her. She'd do them all if I got them. This was for her 7th birthday. However, I was disappointed. She did them so quickly. They are easy. I feel LEGO dumbed this down for girls is all I can figure. But they didn't lower the price. Maybe purple and pink dyes are costly. The age on this says 6 - 12. I'd be SHOCKED an average 12 year old would care about this. However, this is the third Christmas my daughter - now almost 8 - has done pretty much all by herself the LEGO Christmas-themed sets that say age 12+. This year's did and had 1500 pieces. She was done in two days. No more than 8 hours. Three times asked for help - to locate something. Made one mistake that we could see. Makes me feel that LEGO teamed with the same folks who had t-shirts made that said "I'm to pretty to do my homework, so my brother does it for me" or something like that. And from reading reviews of the books that follow these characters put out by DK, superficiality reigns - I hope not reality. But should not frustrate any 7-9 year olds out there. And if you are fine with girls shone only in a certain light and can afford the whole city, that girl will likely be happy.

LEGO Friends City Park Cafe 3061We love so many of the Lego Friends sets and this one like others we have bought has not let us down.It is so easy to put together the directions are clear and I really like how they keep the stages in different bagsunlike many years ago just seems like the kids do better with being able to put them together without as much frustration.This set includes both Andrea and Marie which is nice when getting two minifigs in a set.It does have lots of little pieces/accessories that are not really bricks like the frying pan, mixer, baking items and morewhich makes it even more fun for the kids when they are playing with it.

My daughter wanted this toy as she played in the Lego store, she was really excited and we spend some time putting it together, she likes to assemble it but after a while she just get a little bored because every time you assemble it you need to read the manual. I still say is a good product but I'm thinking in buying separate pieces of lego next time so we can build what ever we want

What a fantastic theme for girls! Up until now, there were few sets geared toward girls. I bought this set for my granddaughter for her 7th birthday and she loves it! Legos are fun, creative, educational and durable. Legos offer endless hours of fun and creativity with all the interchangable opportunities that come from purchasing additional sets. This City Park Cafe set will not be the only set I purchase! Bravo to "Lego Friends!"

At first my 8-year old daughter was overwhelmed. I started to build it and as she saw it forming, she got more interested. The instructions in the book are real simple so once I showed her how to follow-them and she saw it forming into the cafe she really loved it and at the end she was very proud of herself. A big confidence builder. This was her first time building legos from a kit and it was a succcess.

Purchased this for my 9 year old niece for Christmas. She got three of these sets and played with them all day long. They are as high quality as you would expect from Lego. I just wish they weren't so pink and froofroo, I could see many boys wanting to play with something like this or especially the animal sets.
