Reviews
"Fun and games, literally. Fine atmosphere for sharing board game experiences with loved ones, friends, and even new acquaintances. The food was well enjoyed by our group, but order early. It could be a while before you get the food or drinks. All in all, a very good afternoon adventure."
"It’s a capital region gem! I brought some friends here, and we played board games for hours. They have a great selection of games, and the food and drinks are good too :)"
"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!"
"A lovely little resturant/cafe with a fantastic atmosphere. Walking in I was hit with chill music, a comfy atmosphere, and I had a good chuckle at all the little stickers and trinkets they had lying around. The boardgame selection is also fantastic. But my forte is the food. I ordered the "fancy mac" and an Oolong bubble tea. Both of which were very good! The bubble tea was fairly standard, and the fancy mac was extremely interesting. The choice of cheese curds, truffle oil, and cheezits was a bold one. I feel like it paid off at first, those first few bites were great, the cheese pulled from the plate for what seemed like meters, but I struggled to finish the meal by the end with the overwhelming flavors. Maybe hold back on either the truffle oil or the curds, together, they're fighting for room on my tounge. Regardless, this place is fantastic. A great cafe."
"Excellent spot! Very unique place with a plethora of board games to play. Came here during lunch. Highly recommend getting one of their sandwiches. Their ciabatta bread is homemade. In addition, their cocktails rock! I love that they put boba beads in some of them! Try the pisco pineapple punch! :) But I don’t recommend getting their salads. There was no flavor and just felt like a boring salad that I can make at home."
