We’ve been coming here for years and had great experience with knowledgeable staff who could help us play some games but unfortunately this last time they didn’t have anyone who could help us with the four games we tried to play. It was disappointing and the staff was apologetic but ultimately if we are paying to play board games it would be nice to have people who could help. Coffee is great but I think it’s time for an update on their snacks.

This is a great place to go play board games or magic the gathering with your friends.Their prices on board game and magic the gathering product is atrocious though… “premium” products are up charged by $80.Please do yourself a favor and enjoy the space but do not buy anything from here unless you have money to burn.

The coffee is okay, the atmosphere is great you will have a good time with friends, the main reason I’m giving this review is that a worker there was very rude to my child, the lights for the bathroom were outside, and are 4 switches she was trying to turn on the light for the bathroom but end it up turning off the one from the outside, and the worker yelled and said stop playing with the lights, he was rude, he could’ve said more calmly or ask why that was happening, the place is amazing but stuff like this is a downgrade for sure, label your switches.

Cute little place. Spent several hours there the first day and came back the next for more. Extremely reasonable price, and the staff was extremely kind. I would highly recommend if you have friends who want to play but don't have the games.

Went to check this place out on a rainy Saturday. It was packed so we didn’t get a chance to play anything but that was expected. The only reason for the lower rating is because the lattes we had had absolutely no coffee flavor whatsoever, just milk. I would have been happier with the Starbucks down the street, and Starbucks isn’t even that good (to me). It kinda put me off to the whole place which is a shame because it looks really cute and cozy.
We had a great time last weekend. If you have a big group it's probably a good idea to reserve space online ahead of time. The staff was great and there's a big selection of games.

Came in for the lorcana launch weekend, want to start off by saying that I could have done 2 things differently to make the experience better for my self. I should have called ahead and got exact details about the event and I should have arrived 15 min early to the event to give my self more prep time if I did want to participate in organized play. I also really appreciate that you could reserve the decks and booster ahead of time! The thing I'm the most disappointed with is that when we came in to get our starter decks and booster we were handed the decks and then sat down to figure out the games our selfs while being told organized play would start shortly. To try and learn a game with in 30 minutes is a little crazy if you ask me. When my wife sat down after I got up to use the restroom a employee asked if she needed any help and my wife said "yes I don't know ware to start" the employee said back "opening the deck will help". When I return and I heard that I was done we took our packs and starter decks and left. I did say to the employees that a better description on the website would be nice and they seemed very understanding of that point. I don't not think I will be coming back here for launch events or for any other activity I was very excited to check it out but unfortunately the way this was handled was not great. I understand that the employees could not hold everyones hand and explain the rules but then don't have organized play for a TCG that just came out.

We were able to purchase the original game of Life (the classic version) from the 1960s. The host was the sweetest person I've ever met in my entire life. I would go back to this place just to see him again. Anyway, my husband and I had a great night. The food and coffee and Chai tea is delicious by the way. The tables are clean and spacious. There is a bathroom. And they have some scheduled Pokémon games for the children. And yeah I was loving the vibes of this place and the people.

This place is extremely unprofessional!! I am apart of a non-profit organization. We’ve been trying to schedule an event at this location for over a month… we called over 15 times with no answer and the few times they did pick up they were unable to get us a manager or help in any way.When we were FINALLY able to get a hold of someone we let them know about our event and booked 20 PEOPLE for a saturday afternoon. We just went there today for our event and we were completely TURNED away!!!! They said the reservation never went through after we had multiple verbal confirmations that we were booked.So horrible and unprofessional. I will not be coming back.
