Relaxed vibes are refreshing. Staff is laid back and will game, even when youre trying to pay. But its never an issue, I always just pay later. Millennial owned and they stay open late :)

These fuckers, I mean I get y'all are gamers but cmon. Still a business. Act like it you fucks. Don't claim to have hours if you aren't gonna be open. It seems like a chill place to game, like you know that one friends house you might go over to and just get high and play games and it's not exactly messy but you don't try to keep it clean type places. Feels like it's open whenever the fucker who has to "work" there wants to finally feel like he's "getting paid to game" and even then he will have trouble assisting you bc he is gaming instead of being part of the business. So I guess I can't totally hate it, I get it, as a fan of being a l**** gamer but cmon guys! You're giving us all a bad name. Anyways you guys alright, has that yeah do what you want just don't f*** anything up vibe to hit.

I posted my review on Google reviews but will paste it here, and add onto it: I come here a lot because my dorm internet on campus sucks hard. So, this is a cool place to play all your favorite games at. If they don't have your game available, you can most likely download it if you just ask or let them know. The setups are all very nice too, and you can bring your own keyboard/mouse and headset if you wish. The internet is pretty good-- it lags every now and then but it usually goes away fast, like within 10 min I'd say. It hasn't really been a huge problem for me. Anyway, it's conveniently located about 15 min away from the UCSC campus, by bus. Oh, and the owners have always been such chill and friendly people. You can even play games with them, too, if they're not busy lol. I'm gonna miss this place so much once I graduate, it really provided an awesome place for me to kickback and play alone, or meet other people to play with. People of all ages come here-- kids, students, adults. Sometimes people come in here for an hour or so to just watch videos or something while eating. You can basically do whatever you like on the PCs here, not just play games. They have snacks you can buy as well. Their business hours have changed, but as of this current date, they're usually open quite late (til midnight or so I believe). Anyway, check it out!

My experience had extremely disruptive staff who were throwing bags of cans and trash for about an hour or more. I could hardly hear my game. I would have rather saved my $50 or spent it elsewhere. I wont be spending any more money here I guess

Super reasonable rates compared to other gaming cafes in the area. Friendly staff, great PCs. Sometimes stay open even later than posted hours if there's lots of customers. Never have to wait for a machine. You can sign in to your own account, or use theirs if you want to try something new. Love this spot!

Dacio Romero
