Life moves fast—this is your place to slow it down.
At our café, we believe some of the best moments happen when you put the
phone away, sit down with people you care about, and share an experience together. Our Stay & Play Library is designed to do exactly that.
With 150+ games to choose from, there’s something here for everyone. Whether you want to work together, compete for bragging rights, or just laugh until it hurts, you’ll find the perfect fit. Play a quick round of Boop, build your track in Ticket to Ride, test your brain with The Genius Square, or get a little chaotic with Anarchy Pancakes. We have games for all ages, all group sizes, and all attention spans—from quick 10-minute fun to full afternoon adventures.
It’s free with any café purchase.
Grab a coffee, order some food, settle in, and stay awhile. No rush, no pressure—just good food, great games, and even better company.
What is the Stay & Play Game Library?
One of the things that makes The Gnoshery special is our Stay & Play Game Library. We’ve built a collection of more than 100+ board and card games that our guests are welcome to enjoy right here in the café.
Our hope is simple: when you walk through the door, you feel like you’ve found a place to pause. Grab a drink, share a meal, pull a game off the shelf, and spend meaningful time with the people around you.
Library Etiquette
Access to the library is easy. As long as you’ve made any purchase in the store, you’re welcome to enjoy the games. That purchase can be anything—from a cup of coffee or a grilled sandwich to a pack of cards or a new set of dice.
Once you’ve made a purchase, the entire library is open for you to browse. Pick a game that catches your eye, bring it to your table, and stay awhile.
Because the library is shared by everyone who visits, we ask our guests to help us take care of the games so others can enjoy them too. Please handle games with care, keep all pieces together, and return them to their proper place on the shelf when you’re finished. A little care goes a long way in keeping the collection complete and ready for the next group.
Why We Created It
We created the Stay & Play Library because we believe games bring people together in a way that’s hard to replace. In a world that moves fast and revolves around screens, a board game invites people to slow down—to laugh, compete, cooperate, and simply enjoy being together.
Our goal has always been to create a welcoming space where friends can gather, families can make memories, and everyone can take a break from the rush of everyday life.
So pull up a chair, pick a game, and stay awhile. 🎲✨
