Victory Point Cafe

Berkeley's Board Game Cafe

Friends gathered at a long table playing a party game.

How It Works

Our concept is simple: access our collection of board games and stay as long as you'd like for a nominal fee. Our Game Gurus will help you pick a game and even teach you the rules. Complete your game night with our selection of locally roasted coffees, craft beers, pizzas, sandwiches, and snacks.

Not looking to play games? That's okay too. We make a great study & work space with our huge tables, wifi, and power outlets.

Our Menu

Having fun builds up an appetite. Our selection of games is only rivaled by our selection of draft beer & wine, pizzas, sandwiches, and more. Come by in the morning for Berkeley's best coffee, or try our freshly made sandwiches any time.

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!”
