Wonderful board game cafe. The selection of both games to play and games to purchase is quite large. The food was great. There are so many... choices for both breakfast, lunch, and coffee. I really like that the chai latte was not sweetened by default, so that you could choose your sweetener if desired. I had it unsweetened and it was very good. The folks who work here are excellent, cheerful, attentive and truly seem to care that customers are enjoying their experience. I strongly recommend stopping in when in Sturgeon Bay.read more

A delightful combination of cafe and game seller, with delicious food, fabulous coffee (much better tasting, generous and priced than most... cafes) and packed full of games for all ages. The more than 80 open games to try is a real treasure! Combined, this made our hour's drive well worth it. We'll definitely be back!read more

I had the ham and cheddar melt which was excellent. The cindersap coffee (new) was delicious as well. Give both a try— you won’t be sorry!

This is a fantastic little board game café that has captured our hearts! Any time we’re in town, we stop for a delicious breakfast (their... croissant bread is fantastic) and pick a new game to try. I love being able to try a game before purchasing- and we’ve definitely brought home a few new favorites because of this place! One game we played was out of stock, but the kind and helpful staff ordered the game for us and it was ready for pickup within two business days. Awesome! Highly recommend stopping by here. Great people and great atmosphere. Thank you!read more

Food was fresh and delicious! I would recommend trying the lunch here. I had a mango passion fruit freeze with a turkey pesto grilled... sandwich and would recommend everyone try it and purchase a game to donate for the toys for tots. Delightful experience and the price was affordable.read more
