Food was fine, but service was crazy slow for a not busy mid afternoon.

Fun store with lots of great games and food. This is a fun spot to hangout as well. We stop in every year we are in town. The Reuben sandwich 🥪 is delicious. I love the selection of games and getting a chance to play some new ones.

I had a sf pumpkin latte. It was great. They had many sugar free coffee syrup options, which is rare. The ambiance was nice, we enjoyed a game of Splendor. It was a good unexpected way to spend and evening on our door county vacation. The staff was friendly and helpful. They helped us decided on a game to buy that would be suitable for 6 players (a rare find in strategy games).

I’ve never ordered food here (though i did get a bite of a sandwich from a friend who did, and it was very tasty), instead, I came for the board games.I was searching for a quality board game store that had modern games and also carried Magic the Gathering, Star Wars Unlimited, Lorcana, Warhammer, and such. This place is fabulous for that! I’ve been back a few times, and the game selection is excellent, and the staff are always very friendly and helpful. My friends and I look forward to coming back every time we are in the area. I wish I had a store, and gaming community, like this by my own home.Highly recommend!
