What People Are Saying

from Google

"I really enjoy the vibe of this place. Convivial, well decorated, and such a large collection of board games for people to use. I appreciate their efforts of building a community space and hosting events like trivia. The drink menu is very imaginative! I love the variety and themed drinks. I only gave it 4 stars because I do think it’s very pricey (I.e. $11 for a cheese-topped bagel). I understand inflation is tough on small businesses but the prices will definitely limit how often I visit."

"One of the best boardgame cafes ever! They have an impressive assortment of games that they do routinely swap out to ensure good condition, plus you can rent them to bring home. They expanded and have an extra room on the side to play. Food is decently priced and has vegan options. I had the breakfast burrito and was very satisfied. The staff are super nice. There's an assortment of game themed merchandise and local drinks. Also cool to see how much community involvement is here based on their postings for regular DnD oneshots and activities like bonsai bars. I wish I lived near this place. It was such a good experience coming here."

"Came here on a Saturday afternoon for a friend's birthday they have a HUGE selection of games and i was glad to find that all the components were present and cards sleeved for the games we chose to play. We had drinks and food, several of our party enjoyed the pizza bagels and i had the buffalo cauliflower mac and cheese which was good! The portions are more snack sized so you can try more than one item from their menu. There were a number of vegetarian options including the boba tea. The servers bring your drinks and food to the table for you so you wont miss a turn when playing games!"
