Just awesome. Excellent coffee! Great food, friendly staff, TONS of games. Atmosphere is busy but were had no problem hearing each other and focusing on the game, even when cafe full. We drove out from Vancouver and will do so again!

The service and atmosphere is amazing. It is chill, the staff are great, the selection of board games is fantastic. I go there twice a week and still find new fun games to play. I go to the Lorcana events. The food is very good, I especially enjoy the snacky type options for when you are playing a game. The entire experience is very affordable, especially with membership if you go more than twice a month. And the boardgames they have for purchase are cheaper than other places around generally.

Every time I have been here, I enjoyed their excellent customer service, food, and games. I hosted a few Deaf and hard of hearing friends from out of the town for a game night. There was a staff member who knew sign language and another staff member tried to communicate with a ASL sign when he delivered food to the party room. We were impressed by the level of accommodation and accessibility here. Tayler, you rock! As we were leaving we also saw two visually impaired people in the cafe with canes. Good vibes there!

Went on a sunday, the place is packed, yet we got seats for 2. 8 to unlimited play per person. Good food and drinks (these are additional costs), very nice staff and one of the best places for introverts! What we played: Villainous Connect 4 5-Minute Mystery Ticket to Ride
