What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"This place is a rare gem. It’s unique and quirky in a world of sameness. The raised, lounge area is sunny and comfortable and a great place to sip a coffee, work, or play. My son loves the free video games and gluten free doughnuts. They have some of the best prices on vintage albums in the city and an eclectic offering of cute, funky, and fun toys and collectibles. The place also serves as a kind of community center and hosts all kinds of events from movies and game nights, to open mic nights, all displayed on a huge Chalkboard calendar. It’s homey and real feeling and a refreshing respite from hipster cafes with pretentious baristas charging $7 for a cup of foam. We have a lot of lgtbq safe spaces in this city, which this place definitely is, but where can nerds go to feel safe? The answer is the Elder Dragon, aka, The Nerd Dungeon."
"We came to The Nerd Dungeon for coffee and pastries. Both were wonderful! I had the Holiday latte and it was fabulous! Also tried the oatmeal and cream-filled vegan cookie— very good! Our family ended up playing a game of Cranium Turbo as well— fun times all around!"
"This coffee shop is one of the most inclusive spaces I have been to in a long time. They have wonderful tea and pastries that are gluten free. I highly enjoy the service there as they are quick but laid back and enjoy a nice chat with you. It's welcoming, tasteful, and it leaves you walking with a bounce in your step!"
"Probably the most amazing coffee shop experience I’ve had, I didn’t know what to get so the barista made an experiment drink after asking a couple questions. My Nutella Latte was fantastic!!! My partner’s drink was also great and the place in general was great welcoming and chill. Can’t recommend enough!"
"These guys are phenomenal! The customer service is spectacular and the coffee is just delicious! Love the vegan options as well! The gaming shop is also super fun to walk around while you wait! Lits of fun nostalgic finds!"
"Lovely addition to the Nerd Dungeon space! Great place to meet with friends, look at cool movie/classic video game merch. Also cozy enough to hang out and..."
