Love it here. One of my dear friends worked here for a bit- love coming in with friends and playing games, or grabbing a hot chocolate and getting some work done
Was looking for late night milkshakes and happened to stumble upon this place, a board game cafe! Didn't know what to expect coming in, but quickly learned you basically pay to play unlimited games. Since you do have to pay a game fee, I suggest making a night out of it to get your moneys worth. They have all the board games you can imagine, and then some...card games, two player games, etc. Everything is categorized so you can navigate pretty easily. They even have a suggestions board if like us, you don't know what to play. We came pretty late so only stayed a little over an hour...but we got our milkshakes so it was worth it. Actual place is open late some nights but they seem to stop serving food/drinks beforehand, so keep that in mind. Honestly we had fun and this is a chill way to spend a night out.
Cute indoor space for board games with drinks, snacks and fresh made sandwiches. There are multiple walls of board games spread around the multiple rooms inside and not obvious at first glance. The place was at capacity when I visited around 6 PM on a Saturday. Looks like a fun spot of friends or couples!
Love this place! I've been once before and had a great time. There are thousands of boardgames to choose from ranging in difficulty level, number of players and subject. The cafe serves food, but you have the option to bring your own food and drinks in (including alcohol) for an additional $5 pp. The staff was incredibly nice. My party of 5 went on a Sunday afternoon and got a table pretty easily. Street parking was plentiful. Great way to spend a night with friends!
For 10 bucks you can play an enormous collection of games for an evening. For an extra 5 you can bring your own food and drink too!
What a time. What a place. What a smooth Bobby. Had a BLAST playing games with friends but perhaps most surprising is my newfound friendship with Bobby Smooth who was dynamite behind the counter all night.
I had never heard of an official board game cafe before but love the concept and knew this was a must visit! And boy did it exceed my expectations! The shop from the exterior is a cute little White Castle but the inside is a jam packed game house! The people that work there are so nice and willing to help if it's your first time visiting! They have a game charge of $10 per person but allows you to play any game and lasts for the whole day! They also had really good sandwiches and I just overall loved the vibe of this cafe tucked amongst the crammed board games! My friends and I stayed for a couple hours and managed to get through 4-5 games but will definitely have to come back to try more of their selection in the future!
Such an awesome experience and super glad my boyfriend and I got to come here for our anniversary date. We're still exploring Massachusetts and this is a definite must check out place for a fun night out with friends, family, or a date! Super Unique experience: Cool board games stacked in multiple book cases throughout (only pictured 1) + Great treats, coffee, and drinks !!! Price & Worth: We payed $15 per person (not including food and drinks) but not bad considering we stayed for about 3 hours! We played 1 game because it was our first time playing it and because of the complex strategies it made it confusing at first, but fun for a 1st round. Already can't wait to go back and get a re-do! We got there around 7 but by 8-9 it was packed for a Saturday so keep this in mind if you want to bring a big group it may be worth coming in earlier in the evening. However, they're open till 2am Saturdays so you could make it a late night out! The food prices were decent, they have sandwiches, coffees, drinks, hot cocoa, brownies etc. Food: We shared a Brownie Sundae and its melts in your mouth, gone in a blink good!!!! Definetly give it a taste! Their Hot Cocoa and Coffee was also pretty good Service: We met the owner Devon, and he was beyond nice offering help picking a game and he was open to answering any questions we had. He treated every customer the same which was nice to witness. It was just him along with one other staff member serving food/drinks so it may take a bit to come out, which we were fine with as it gave us time to put the game together and review the rules, but they kindly apologized for the delay anyway. If want a fun experience, need a bite or a great place to hangout, and want to support a local business, check this place out!
