My wife and I stopped by Sturgeon Bay this summer on our way up to Door County for our honeymoon.The Gnoshery had excellent food and a surprisingly diverse selection of games both for sale and for demo. The staff was friendly and the store itself was is a great location.

My wife and I recently went here for date night. It was a great experience! The coffee was good and the sandwich was excellent… however, the atmosphere was best part. We grabbed Space Base off of the extensive “demo games” shelf, and we were left alone to sit and play for 45 minutes while we chatted and drank our coffee drinks. We will be back, and we are both looking forward to it!We will mostly be trying to go during the middle of the week to enjoy the atmosphere, but we will also be going later today (Saturday) to enjoy the sale they have for the holidays. =)

I got the Fire Hammer sandwich and it was great. The sauce really ties the sandwich together with the red pepper onions and jalapenos. I’ll most likely be back again tomorrow to get the same sandwich.

My son and I always make sure to stop at The Gnoshery whenever we’re in Sturgeon Bay. The employees are always nice and the food is good. If nothing else, I have to at least get a cup of coffee and a cookie. Of course, if you’re into RPGs, this is definitely the place to go.

Super cute place where you can play board games while having lunch. Great grilled cheese, delicious, cranberry orange, muffins, and yummy smoothies. The gnomes got me so I had to go in. Tons of fun things to purchase, games, stickers, action figures. It was a cool place with a cool vibe.

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.
