Plucky’s is such a great addition to Broadway! By far the best coffee in this side of Burlingame. Food is great. Board games are super fun. They charge for the grown up games, but they have plenty of free game that can entertain kids.

I give 3* because they don't let customers use the laptop after 6 pm. It's not convenient. I understand there is a board game cafe but what about single ppl who want to enjoy the cafe vibe while working or watching something on their laptop????
Please change your policy and let ppl enjoy their freedom of choice.

We had food, coffee, and dessert, and enjoyed it all. A nice selection of games, including some more basic games for free. A cozy wood vibe, with beautiful board game art featured on the walls. Their music was fun, too! Wish I could take this cafe to my city!

It's hard to review a place based on just one drink but if that drink is Tokyo Fog, a matcha latte with pandan, then it's a top notch store. The ambience and staff are convivial and the big 20 sided dice touches my gamer soul! Pandan is a flavor from my childhood and quite difficult to find in the US. I don't live in the area but if I did, this place would be a reghaur haunt.

I had an excellent experience coming here! The place is very spacious with a few tables and an area with couches. They have a fridge if you just want to grab and go or you can also order with the cashier. In addition, they have a bunch of game boards to use while you are there. Furthermore, we ordered the cappuccino and chai and they were both delicious. You can really taste the coffee and the flavor was just amazing. I also order a spinach quiche that came with a side salad, everything was very flavorful and delicious. The only thing is that I feel that for 14dls the piece of quiche should be bigger. Overall, I will definitely be here because everything from the service to the quality of the drinks was a 10/10.
edit to add: Recently came back and tried the affogato and iced chai. The affogato was amazing, the chai ok but it was lacking flavor.

I hosted a corporate outing here having never gone before. Absolutely amazing experience and highly recommend:

-They closed the entire shop for us and were flexible with timing
-Laid out very high end food & drinks made in-house
-Led us thru rules and boardgames as none of us have ever been to a board game cafe before

The owners are so sweet and made for a memorable team building experience.

Surprisingly quality espresso drinks for what from afar feels like a gimmick café, but make no mistake, they're serious about their coffee.

The Board game theme is carried throughout the cafe in the art on the walls. Plucky's is a seriously good cafe, quality coffee drinks, excellent food, comfortable seating...AND they offer a space for playing games. They have an excellent selection you can play for a charge (per person rate for 2 hours of play). Don't go here to nurse 1 cup of coffee over your laptop - go with friends and enjoy the community feel.

One of Broadway's new gems. Great tasting food and only have it 4 stars because the portions could be adjusted.

The coffee is one of the best we have had in the area!

I travelled to San Francisco from Australia over a fortnight ago.

Australians are coffee snobs lol

We spent 2 weeks trying to look for good coffee and this one is one of the best. The shop has a great atmosphere. I would bring my whole family here for drinks, food and fun with the board games.

Just visited this afternoon, everything was fantastic! Great game selection, friendly staff, and the food was great too.

The cold brew had a frozen coffee ice cube to keep it from getting watered down, which I appreciated because it means they’re paying attention to details and making sure the customers have the best experience. I can’t wait to come back for game nights.

We paid for game time as well ($7/pp) and had access to all the games in their library. Such a fun concept for all ages and contributes to a warm and vibrant environment.

Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options available, the avocado toast and steel cut oats on the breakfast menu and vegetarian and delicious!

Kid-friendliness: There were several families there with young kids that were engaged with and focused on tons of kid-friendly games.
