"this definitely is not my go to coffee shop but if you like games, then this is a place you should visit. It has an amazing theme and there’s a lot of dungeons and dragons and magic players. Here you could have a meeting, a date, or just study. it’s kind of a small space so I think that I don’t go there for that reason. As always much love the universe and beyond. Ɛ>"
"Here's the short version for those unwilling to read the novel I've written below: it's very good; you should go here and get a chai latte. Environment: Coral sword is an extremely welcoming and comfortable environment. The staff is kind, knowledgeable, and willing to answer questions about the games or drinks. The dining and service counter areas are always clean, even on packed nights. During the day the cafe is pretty chill, filled (but not too full) with students and remote workers. The cafe tends to be busier in the evenings (or weekends) and hosts multiple events every week, with plenty of opportunities for magic or tabletop players. It's a great place to bring your own group and play board games. I also go there to work on my laptop and have never had trouble finding an outlet as there are multiple outlets along every wall. Accessibility & Inclusivity: The building has its own parking lot, but it is small and those going during busy times may have to find street parking. The cafe seems fairly accessible, but some of the spaces between tables are tight, especially during a packed house. The neighborhood and area around the building is not as accessible, but the crumbling asphalt and cement is by no means the responsibility of this establishment. There is a ramp on the side of the building, near the front. The doors are standard full-glass pull doors seen in many businesses. The cafe has a welcoming culture and I regularly see a diverse group of people here. Food & Drink: The drinks are amazing. I've never had a drink from here that wasn't delicious. Patricia makes a great chai latte. The first sip transports you to another realm, The Flavor Realm, where the weather is always beautiful and the traffic is always light. The food menu selection is small but the choices are solid. If you are genuinely hungry, you might find the food to be more snackish than filling. However, the snackish foods are perfect to munch on while hanging out with friends or working on your laptop. The prices are pretty standard cafe prices. I generally spend $5-6 on each drink and another $5-10 if I get a food item. You can certainly get a drink here for cheaper, but I tend to opt for larger sizes or extra espresso. I've never had the beer from here, but I've been told by my friends who drink that the beers were good choices. Overall, Coral Sword is a great spot and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cool spot to hang out, a fun time, or just a really good coffee. Since consistent quality is a big part of any business-to-customer relationship, attached are photos from a few of my visits."
"My favorite place to get coffee, a quick snack and enjoy some fun board games. The owner and staff are amazing and offer great service and conversation. Easy to become a regular here. They offer many game options for beginners or even advanced players. Highly recommend for groups of friends 2+. You can come here to try games out and if you love it they may have it for purchase as well!"
"Coral Sword is a haven that seamlessly fuses the worlds of nerd culture and coffee, creating a space that's as inviting as it is diverse. The collection of tabletop games is nothing short of amazing, offering an extensive array that caters to both seasoned players and those looking to dive into the gaming world. The staff at Coral Sword embodies the friendly and welcoming vibe of the space. Their enthusiasm and niceness make every visit feel like you're among friends, creating an atmosphere that encourages both camaraderie and relaxation. When it comes to beverages, the dirty chai is a must-try. The combination of bold espresso and the aromatic spices of chai creates a drink that's not only invigorating but also a comforting treat for the taste buds. And for those with a penchant for classics, the espresso is crafted with precision, delivering the essence of a well-brewed cup. The creativity extends to their tea offerings, with the earl gray tea paired with oat milk standing out as a unique and flavorful choice. Coral Sword's commitment to offering diverse and quality beverages ensures there's something for every palate. One delightful surprise at Coral Sword is their selection of trading cards for sale, including popular ones like Magic and Lorcana. It's a thoughtful addition that enhances the overall nerd culture experience, allowing patrons to explore and expand their collections. In conclusion, Coral Sword is more than just a coffee shop; it's a vibrant community hub for both gamers and coffee enthusiasts. Whether you're immersing yourself in tabletop games, sipping on a dirty chai or earl gray tea, enjoying a classic espresso, or exploring the world of trading cards, every aspect of Coral Sword reflects a commitment to creating a haven where passion, diversity, and quality converge. It's a destination that stands out in its ability to seamlessly blend nerd culture with the joy of a good cup of coffee."
"Great coffee shop. Plenty of parking and seating and some outdoor seating as well. Cool interior with games I believe you can buy. Friendly staff. Got an almond latte and it was quite good. Decent pricing as well."
