A cute little concept for a Cafe! The food was cheap and delicious. Some great breakfast options; the sandwiches were simple and made fresh. Service was fast and friendly. We got the $5 price to the board games library too and their selection is incredible! Some of the more popular ones were missing pieces which is a shame but overall most of them were pretty fresh and had everything you needed to play. It was a great time and I recommend it to any board game nerds!

Got the Cream Cheese Stuffed Pretzel and it was really good! Also, we got the Avocado Toast with bacon, but the type of bread they use was really tough. The iced vanilla latte and hot oat milk latte were decent.

Fun little game cafe with more games than you can count. Friendly staff, day passes are inexpensive, and pretty solid food for reasonable prices. Highly recommend.

The food was great considering we were in a game café. Impressive menu!!! The service was wonderful. Drake took the time to share lots of information with us and got us all excited to come back to play new games. We went on a random Thursday and stayed until close. By then the place had really filled up and had a fun energetic vibe. Great to see local establishments thriving. ?Vegetarian options: They have several vegetarian items and others that could be modified. The soup that night was a vegan sweet potato curry.

I love spending time at Mana! They make it clear that they intend to maintain a fun space for those in all walks of life, and especially for those who may not feel safe, welcomed, and embraced elsewhere. Quality drinks, good food, fun atmosphere, and warm team attitude.

If you’re looking for a place to hang out and play games, this board game cafe just opened in downtown Lincoln!You can play games from their library or you can bring in your own games from home to play - however, there’s an access fee. The cost is $5/weekdays or $8/weekends for a day pass.There is a small selection of new board games for sale, but most of the other games are part of their game library.There’s also a cafe where you can order coffee, drinks, and snacks at the front.

If I could give this place more than five stars i totally would!The establishment is so cute and such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. You can play games, enjoy incredible food and beverages, and they even have all ages shows that they host monthly!The owner of the establishment is also absolutely wonderful. She makes sure to provide a safe space for EVERYONE to come and relax, and not only that, but she stays involved with and gives back to the community outside of her own business constantly, and i think that’s incredible.i hope this business is around many many years to come, so everyone gets a chance to feel the loving energy that’s been embedded into Mana Games by their amazing customers and staff! ?

My spouse and I are madly in love with this place. We haven't been able to visit as much a we'd like, but I already consider it a safe place and somewhere to go if I'm glum because I know it'll lift my mood. We love to get chai tea and watch the drag shows together. Crossing my fingers I can talk them into joining me for a future d&d night! I cannot fathom entering this place and not feeling at peace – I'm so glad we have this safe haven to go to. ❤️

Lincoln has no other venue like this one. Amazing games, amazing staff, amazing memories - check this place out and enjoy, enjoy, enjoy yourself!Kid-friendliness: Not great for toddlers, but we would always bring our infants here, lay a blanket on the floor, and enjoy playing with the baby - the staff loved it too. Ages 6+ will have a good time!

It's such a lovely place to spend time! Tasty treats on offer, and the variety of games means there is always something to explore! Mana Games and the people here all make an amazing place for community. Inclusive, welcoming, and safe. I'm so happy they're in Lincoln!

Very nice people. I had an affogato which was amazing. Harbor coffee and Mana are the only two places in town that offer these amazing treats.
