If you’re into board games, it’s a great shop to check out. They have an area up front to “sample” a rotating selection… of games. Great coffee served by efficient caring staff.The owners are another story… a pair of Boomers on their computers. Shown, no care or enthusiasm about the establishment just so long as they are making profit. Four guests and I ordered breakfast. They had no issue sitting around discussing with themselves who was/needs to be fired. While one teenager had to do all the cooking by herself. Only to be pulled aside and told what she needs to improve on.I love the theme of the place, but feel awful for anyone working under these service industry slumlords.read more

This was such a fun place to spend a few hours of our afternoon!! We had a great time playing a few games as we sipped… our coffee to warm up and then ate dinner. I would love to see more of these types of stores around my own town, but we will definitely be back here next time we’re in Sturgeon Bay!They have a massive amount of board games and accessories for buying and a large shelf of games you can try out.The staff was very friendly and welcoming! The food was also very tasty and the coffee was reasonably priced.Would highly recommend to anybody who likes games!!read more
