Victory Point Cafe

Ordered a mocha with a rugelach this morning and got an unexpected rabbit in the foam - I would give you 10 out of 10 for design creativity, and an extra 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟for carrying this rugelach!
The 🐻 was from my previous visit 😎

A+ for making my day 😎

How to describe this place? Hmm… one of the best places to hang out everyone just has an amazing vibe and it’s always a good time love this place!!!

“Came for the cafe, stayed for the games.” Access to the games requires an $8 tab (as of June 2025) while seating is free. If you’re not coming for the games—don’t worry. You can study or work at many a table. Should you choose to game (as my group did), you can sit at tables with reservations outside of the reserved times. Shelves are stocked to the brim with plenty games; we even ordered a pizza to go along! It does get somewhat loud inside at peak times, so outside seating is a good option too. Would come again!

VPC is my go-to cafe when I visit Berkeley!
I always order a hot chocolate with oat milk and cinnamon, and it is perfectly made every time. Their sandwiches are filling and come with chip.
I recently ordered Pokemon 151 Scarlet and Violet for my boyfriend's birthday. They were fairly priced and we ended up pulling an Alternate Art Charmander -- best birthday gift I've ever given!
I would highly recommend this place to anyone, may it be for the drinks, the games, or purchasing collectables.

Went here for a party and I'm amazed at how well the staff kept track of our orders! The Supreme pizza was deliciously cheesy and the chai was nicely spiced. Lots of fun games to peruse.

This is a great place for gaming. The food is good, the workers are friendly and engaging, and it's a genuinely welcoming space.

All the people here: Paul, Dave, Mace, Elena, Matt, Joe, Misty, Rosey and Emily are great.

Dietary restrictions: They are willing to make the Southwest Chicken salad the way I like it. I only wish that they could get their decaf machine working☹️

An excellent Board Game Cafe that's conveniently near Bart and transit. The food is good and there's plenty of tables. The table fee of $8-12 per person is appropriate. They have an excellent selection of games but parts may be worn (perhaps card sleeves and 3d printed holders could help). It can get rather noisy and busy inside despite the noise dampening panels, so you may want to bring a mask and noise canceling headphones.

Update: edited the price and removed my description of wheelchair accessibility, per clarification from the owner.

Parking: There were a good number of large parking spots within one block on a Sunday afternoon.

Victory Point is a great place to try new games or return to the ones you love! They have an incredible selection and a ton of seating. It seems like a good place to study/work as well. As someone who is still masking indoors, I really appreciate their comfortable outdoor seating area!

Lovely atmosphere, good game selection, good food. Bit pricy since they charge by the person, but worth it if you will stay for a day.
