We had food, it was tasty. Nothing fancy but was good for the cost. Coffee was delicious, drinks were great, service was wonderful. We had a large group and had no issue getting a spot. SOOOO many games, the options were fantastic.

Boardgame cafe. Great selection of games. Bar and food are reasonably priced. Food is tasty but you better like waffles. If you don't want alcohol, there's coffee, chai, tea and soft drinks. Good for all ages.

A local gem. You can spend hours here playing all sorts of different games with friends. We often do end up ordering some snacks or beverages, but there's absolutely zero pressure to do so, and people are welcome to come in and play until their heart's content.

Best place in town to come play board games at, and they have an extensive good menu too. The menu is 90% waffles, but if you look hard you can find other stuff too. Their potato soup was great and their salads aren't bad either.

We love their game rooms and what they have to offer table top gamers. Next door (connected to the game room) sells board games, models, pins, plushies, dnd books and related items. The have a life-sized DRIZZT Do'urden of house DAERMON N'A'SHEZBAERNON on display 💗 OH! Their savory waffles are quite amazing, especially the cheesy ones, which are super airy and crispy!! I loved their lemonade bubble tea and London Fog.

I wanted to know if a board game restaurant existed because it sounded like a cool idea. I Googled it and discovered this place. I have been gluten free for 3.5 years and have found that variety is hardly ever offered at most restaurants. It did not disappoint. They had a lot of gluten free options. Most items on the menu could be made gluten free even the pita bread! We hung out there and played Ticket to ride for the first time and tried out Oregon trail. The environment was perfect too. It wasn't so quiet that it would be awkward to talk and it wasn't so loud that you had to yell to be heard. Perfect sound balance. The menu was great. Waffles. Their "thing" is waffles. Waffles made into pizza, waffles made into tacos. Waffles topped with pulled pork for a BBQ spin. It was inventive and yet classic at the same time. The guys I brought are not the adventurous types when it comes to food so the menu scared them at first. In the end everyone ate every bite of food. Very affordable too. I even walked over to the game store attached and had some games special ordered to arrive this week. Anyway, I appreciated it. :) Below -fried pickles, Wacho, Pizza, and I forgot the fries. Next time I will try chicken and waffles.

One of our favorite spots for a fun, inexpensive date! Easily the best drink prices in town with good food and more board games than you can possibly imagine. Cozy atmosphere but still lots of good energy, I highly recommend it for a fun date or an after-work pint!

This was a great evening. We got the Blackberry, Brie, and Bacon Waffle and The Sea Devil Mocktail. The waffle was unique and quite good. The Mocktail was rather believable in the flavor of the alcohol free rum. We played Star Wars Outer Rim and had just enough time to learn and play Hey, That’s My Fish! The staff were friendly, polite, and helpful. We will definitely be coming back!

Cozy little cafe spot with attached game store for dnd and other table top games. Lots of paints and dice and such. Some sealed TCG products but no singles etc. fantastic and friendly staff. Tried the cookies and cream with brown sugar boba and it was delicious! I didn’t get food but they had a nice menu of shareable creative geek themed food and drink as well including cocktails.
