Friendly staff, good selection of games (to play or purchase) and delicious food options -- I really enjoy the hot honey chicken sandwich. Updating this to include the tuna melt and the tater tots as delicious too! Great range of alcoholic, soft and hot beverages available -- the hot chocolate and the cider are both really good. $10 per person to play all day or $5 each for students, which is reasonable but it's a shame they don't have a minimum food spend for free play offer. They are however, happy to fill your reusable cup for the cost of a small sized drink! Show less

Hex & Company: A Game of Two Halves Hex & Company, a quirky blend of board game cafe and retail store, is a delightful haven for gamers and coffee enthusiasts alike. The eclectic decor and inviting atmosphere create a unique and enjoyable experience. The coffee, a caffeinated concoction that rivals the best of them, was a perfect pick-me-up. And the cheesecake pumpkin slice? A divine dessert that would make even the most discerning pastry chef swoon. The staff, for the most part, were friendly and helpful, guiding us through the labyrinth of board games and coffee options. However, our experience took a turn for the worse on a second visit later that day when a staff member, perhaps having a particularly rough day or perhaps just a bit too invested in board game etiquette, confronted one of our group members for browsing the games without prior permission and renting. It was a bit like a librarian scolding a child for touching a book. While it's understandable that the establishment has rules to ensure a fair and enjoyable experience for all patrons, the way the situation was handled could have been more tactful. A gentler approach, perhaps with a friendly reminder about the rental process, would have been more effective than the hostile approach we received from her. Despite this minor hiccup, Hex & Company remains a charming place to spend an afternoon. Just remember to play by the rules, check with the staff before touching anything, or risk the wrath of the board game gods. Show less

What a really cool idea! We visited from Maryland with our daughter and son in law and look forward to many more visits. The selection of board and card games is incredible, I would never have guessed there was that may games in the entire world! Must be thousands on their shelves to choose from to play while enjoying a beer with friends or family. I recommend NOT drinking until you find the game you really like and learn the rules of that game! Only after getting started should you go grab a beer. A little alcohol goes a long way to making the rules of a new game harder to understand!!! 😉 Price to play was inexpensive. Their beer selection is not huge but they have something for everyone, it is decent beer and well priced. They have food but it is not something to rave about. None of it was bad. Think of it as something to snack on while playing games. Pretzel Bites and chicken tenders were what we ordered. The atmosphere is loud and fun as everyone around you is having a great time. They also have games for sale if you find a game you really enjoyed. This is certainly a place to go if you like beer and board/card games. Show less

Today, we were charged $15 per person, including for my 3 year old, after we were told there were appropriate games and puzzles for my kids to use. However, there were no puzzles available unless I purchased the puzzle first and then the game my other daughter wanted to play (Sleeping Queens) was nowhere to be found and needed to be purchased as well. It was clear this was not a viable experience after 15 minutes but the person working at the front counter refused to give me a refund of the cover charges. Will not be returning, clearly not kid friendly. Show less

Hex & Company by Union Square is a solid spot for board games and a place we generally enjoy spending time at. The game selection is extensive, the setup is straightforward, and it’s easy to settle in for a few hours of play. During our visit today, however, it was snowing and the space was extremely cold due to a lack of heat, which made it uncomfortable to stay for long periods. Since this is a café where people sit and play games for hours, temperature control really makes a difference in the overall experience. The food and drinks are decent but on the pricier side for the quality. Nothing stood out as bad, but the value doesn’t quite match the cost. That said, Hex & Company is clearly focused on the board game experience rather than dining, so this wasn’t entirely unexpected. The gameplay fee itself is reasonable at $15 for three hours, especially considering the wide variety of games available. Overall a good place for board games, but the lack of heat on a cold day and the pricing of food and drinks held this visit back from being a more comfortable experience. Show less
