What our customers are Saying

By far my favorite hangout spot in Berkeley, and especially perfect for a fun first date. It's a great setup: food-wise, they hit the trifecta of snacks/real food, coffee drinks, and beer.

Tricia

A board gamer's dream come true. You have to come to experience what a gaming-first cafe that happens to also serve food and drink is like.

Audrey L.

The staff can help you pick out games and also help with the setup if you're unsure.  They have Artis coffee, beers on tap, snack bowls, pastries, etc...basically everything you need for a great night.

Melissa T.

$8 for unlimited play, a carefully constructed menu for snackage, and you can keep a tab open because you have no idea how long you'll be there for.

Melanie

“Awesome snack bowls, organic food options, and the ability to play any game you like for $8!”
