A wonderful location with an absolutely charming interior! The games on offer are varied, delightful, and in great condition. The layout is well spaced so you can navigate through without having to ask anyone to move their chairs, making it easy to get up and grab more games and more food. 10/10 will be coming again in the near future! Also their online game catalog is amazing! I've found so many new games to try though it, highly recommended for all boardgaming and ttrpg fans out there! Show less

Really great new biz, I'm visiting from Boston where we have an embarrassment of riches with such places, and this brand new Portland establishment, were it in the more competitive landscape of Boston, would 100% CLEAN UP. Kind and knowledgeable staff, good munchies (tea, coffee, and even a meat & cheese plate), a solid assortment of games...just awesome. We came on a Friday late afternoon, parking was no sweat. Maybe a little over-air conditioned (bring long-sleeves even in summer, kind of a bummer but might not be their fault, might be the building as a whole). Show less

I was visiting Westbrook/Portland area for 4 days.

I was visiting Westbrook/Portland area for 4 days. I’d felt like I had already done all of the things I wanted to do while up here and didn’t want to drive downtown, so I googled a cafe near me in Westbrook and came across this space. My only complaint is that I wish I would have discovered it sooner! I would have been here every day of my trip. The staff is super friendly, food is delicious and comforting and filling, and the latte I got was lovely. Such a great atmosphere, very safe and welcoming. I wish I had a space like this in the town I live in. If I’m ever in the area again, I’ll definitely be back. Show less

'Free family adventure time' is very misleading. You pay the same table game rate. Coffee is good, but there is not a lot geared toward kids, and again its not free.

The only reason food is a 4 not a 5 is because I only got drinks, not food.

The only reason food is a 4 not a 5 is because I only got drinks, not food. Will update review as needed later on :) Comfortable areas to game/eat/craft, good place to socialize with like minded people. Owners and staff were super helpful explaining what activities were available on different nights that might interest me. Staff were willing to answer all the questions I had and gave more info based on those questions. They also sell dice. Really pretty dice. They have Resin, Gemstone, etc.😁 Plenty of games to choose from if you want a game night but are unsure of what to play. Atmosphere is relaxing, lots of dark greens and warm woods. Super cozy. Will take pictures next time I am there. Show less

The food is a bit on the pricey side but seeing as that's all you have to pay for to enjoy such a great experience it is well worth it. I would happily pay a cover charge to get in. The assortment of games is amazing and I love just getting to bring whoever I'm with and sit down and crack up trying to fumble through new games. Might just have finally convinced me to try DnD too Show less

The space is cozy, quiet, and relaxing, with a small work area as you come through the door. If I was a remote worker, I would screw Starbucks and come here for the delicious lattes with Bard coffee, or one of their many tea varieties while using their wifi. I enjoy their hearty pretzels and recently had this lemon cheesecake ball that was to die for. I don’t normally get a whole meal here but it’s well worth a few hours to stop by, play some games and drink a few beverages (alcoholic or non alcoholic) while connecting. Show less
