Went for a game night. Only got plantains and a drink but they were SO good. They have a minimum you have to order while there

So much fun. Amazing game selection even though we just played giant UNO. Lol. So use your time and explore games you dont have at home.

We arrived late, so kitchen was closed. Would be great if they were open later on the weekends. But it's a really cool, chill spot to hang with friends or a little date night. We are excited to try the food next. We had the bread pudding, cheesecake, and plantain chips and all were very tasty.

Amazing food and drinks, so many games to play off-the-shelf, and the staff members are super friendly. It's more than a Cafe, it feels like a cozy board game community that we just can't get enough of. Stay & Play is a great time, every time!

This place is AMAZING. It’s such a really nice, spacey, clean and modern cafe. They have sooo many board games. They (Jose) even try to help you get started on a board game! That was so nice of him. So we got the hang of the game quickly. Thank you!

Food and drinks were good too. It’s a really nice place to hang out with your friends and play board games.

We will totally come back here again.

Thanks Jose! We had a really fun night w/our friends!

What a great place! Great food. Great service. Tons of games and knowledgeable staff to assist you. The decor and ambience is tasteful and fun. I love their drinks, especially the Sangria but you can’t go wrong with any of the drinks. Their coconut shrimp is amazing. They have many types of sauces you can ask for. The owners are wonderful and treat you like family. I have never had a bad bite or a bad time at Stay & Play Game Cafe.

We had a small group stop in for trivia night. We enjoyed our time. The owners and staff are incredible. Felt like being at home playing games and you were playing games with family. Will be back

We visit at least once a month or so for a board game brunch with friends on Sundays. The space is lovely and open, the food is delicious, and the owners are very kind and welcoming. We have been to quite a few game cafes and this one is the best in the area. They charge a small gaming fee, and if you rent one of their games, it is another reasonable fee. If they have the space, you can stay as long as you like. We enjoy a meal, snacks, and multiple drinks during our gaming here. It's much nicer than some of the other gaming cafes downtown that have overpriced food and force you out in 2 hours before you can finish a game. I recommend the coquito french toast if you visit during Sunday brunch!

Dietary restrictions: We had people with gluten allergies and they were very accommodating

Kid-friendliness: We had two babies with us under 1 years old and they accommodated us incredibly
