My wife and I visited this place expecting something unique, but it was underwhelming. The only standout feature was the gaming café concept, where you can pay to play console games. However, the drink menu was very limited, and it took an unreasonably long time to prepare just two drinks. To make matters worse, the lids they provided didn’t even have an opening for straws. The staff didn’t come across as welcoming or friendly, which made the experience even less enjoyable. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend or return.

The food options were meh. The service was also meh being right across from the University you'd think the service would be a little better there was only 1 other person there and it still took 15 mins to get our food which was spring rolls and a hotdog but the idea of the restaurant is super cool and the price to play the games is really decent im pretty sure it was 10 bucks for an hour but we didn't have time to take advantage of the games that day pretty kool spot overall

I’ve never actually left a bad review anywhere before but this was warranted. I brought my 9 year old in for a fun day and something different to do, we paid for 2 hours and played one game for about 10 minutes in that time. Every game we tried didn’t work. I don’t know if it was the lady’s first day but she spent half an hour setting up guitar hero and it just didn’t work, we then played a switch game. No Nintendo account linked so couldn’t play. We ended up trying different things for an hour played one round of a game after an hour of waiting around for her to try and make things work and my 9 year old asked if we could leave. Still paid for the two hours and our 8 dollar milkshakes even though we pretty much sat around for an hour. Definitely would not recommend.

The owner is a lovely man who provides great customer service, but there are many things he needs to do to improve the business.
There is one small fan for the entire store. There needs to be air conditioning as there is a pizza store next door and a lot of electronics running. It was hot to the point that we were all sweating while sitting playing games calmly. I have a heart condition so we couldn't stay the entire time we planned to stay. We all had to exit multiple times to get air.
The couches have lost their cushioning, so washable pillows or something should be offered so people don't get in pain.
I would recommend selling the coffee machine you don't use to finance the things needed to elevate your place.
Also, since board games are free, I would have a spot for people to donate games they no longer want for a small credit or something, so you can keep renewing that stock also.
While I was there, many people came in to ask about fruit smoothies, and you only offer milkshakes now. You may want to offer those smoothies.
The menus, food, and games all need updates to accurately reflect what you have in stock and how many people can actually play. Many times, it said 4 players, and it was often only 1 or 2 players. This was frustrating for me.
Parking: The parking isn't easy at all as it is by a car wash and 16 Ave.
Kid-friendliness: Tons of kid friendly games!

I recently visited Super Smash Café for the first time while in town from BC, and I had a fantastic experience! The space is well-organized with a great variety of games to choose from, all at very reasonable prices. Armando (apologies if I got the spelling wrong) was an excellent host—super friendly and helpful, making sure I had everything I needed. The food was also a pleasant surprise, really tasty and satisfying.
The only thing I’d suggest is adding more fans or AC, as it got a bit warm inside, but honestly, that didn’t take away from the overall experience. I highly recommend checking out Super Smash Café if you're in the area—it’s definitely a spot worth visiting!

I brought my friends to check out this place and we had an awesome time! We came to play and there were lots of choices. It was very nostalgic because they even have old consoles. They also have board games and lots to choose from. We even tried their food, and it was good too! Very affordable and filling. It was a bit busy when we came, but the person there was still accommodating. I say the whole experience was great, but next time we’ll book ahead so that it’s not as busy.

Frozen food... I took it as take-out which was the worse part. My word, what does it take to thaw items before selling them? Will never step foot inside again.
