Customer Reviews
Huge fan of the place, brought a lot of friends here for a night. Specifically wanted to highlight how responsive they are with their social media platform. Reached out asking if they had gift cards for our friends that are having their baby soon. They provided different options and also said congrats to the couple, which was really sweet. It made the process really easy for us especially because we know the couple loves this place. Thank you again
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.
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.
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!
Couldn't get any better! We hosted a get together here and had a blast, the food and beverage options were great and there were so many games options. Everyone's talking about who they'll be bringing when they come back with them
