About The Board Room Game Cafe

The Board Room Game Cafe is a lively and welcoming place to hang out with friends, meet new people, and enjoy board games. It is much bigger on the inside than the outside, offering a good selection of games and an impressive drink selection, including mocktails. The cafe has a variety of board games, mini supplies, and frisbee golf equipment for sale. Customers have noted that when it gets busy, it might be a little hard to hear one another while playing, but the service and game selection are fantastic, and the food is generally good, with boozy milkshakes and cocktails (or potions) being particularly fun and delicious. The staff are helpful and friendly, providing friendly and inclusive service, teaching and recommending games.

The snack food is good, and the atmosphere is lively yet cozy, making it a nice spot for a date or family fun. The food is very much like what a mom would make in high school, bringing a comfortable and warm vibe. The cafe offers a four-hour board game session for $8, with a wide range of games and food options at reasonable prices. Customers appreciate the staff's efforts to create an enjoyable atmosphere by sharing recommendations and checking in on guests. Highly recommended items include the beer flight, orange spice tea, and Italian soda (mango + peach).

Recent reviews highlight the helpful staff, the variety of board games, and the fun potion drinks that are sparkly and very yummy. One customer praised the experience of buying games during a Black Friday sale, noting the helpful staff and the mix of old classics and new designs that keep the brain happy. The cafe is perfect for first dates, fun with friends or family, or even a weekend night out. The latte received high praise for its taste, despite being a bit expensive at $6.67. Visitors from far away, like those from Florida and New York, found the place to be perfect for a family and friends gathering, enjoying the hospitality and the lively atmosphere.
