8 years agoMy favorite study spot, great music at a great volume, very awesome and helpful baristas, and the best mocha I've ever had. Very nerdy customers due to sharing space with Universe Games. I love em. Also very LGBTQ+ friendly.

This was a fun place to visit for the first time. Me and my girlfriend decided to come here because she purchased a Groupon online for getting a deal which I can't remember what it was anymore however it involved a drink and Waffles. The waffles were simple but surprisingly very good. The space seems to be shared with a large gaming area such as board games and magic cards Pokemon Etc, as well as some people painting small figurines. Very unique and definitely one of a kind for this area. Only thing that could possibly make it better for me or other average customers would be dedicating a bit more space to dining because 10% or less is dedicated to dining,the rest being reserved for gaming.

THE BELOW REVIEWS ARE FAKE, POSTED BY OWNER AFTER THIS BAD REVIEW - THAT IS SAD - I came here to try out a new coffee shop, the pictures on Google maps were very nice and I had high hopes I found another great coffee spot. When I got there I saw a window sticker talking about Magic tournaments and I was immediately turned off. Now I'm not saying nerdy stuff is not enjoyable, I've been to several places that have themes such as star wars or back to the future that were great experiences but this place was overdone to the point it looked like a games by James on the inside. I tried their coffee out of courtesy which was good but I will not be going back to try them again which I think is why I'm the first reviewer Show less

6 years agoThis place is always warm and hospitable with a good game selection and a lovely little cafe. My wife and I fell in love with Escape Room games here, and we still run into surprises here! Everyone here is always in positive spirits, and the employees are helpful and friendly.

I normally like going here - the staff are nice and knowledgeable and the drinks are made well. However, yesterday I went in with a friend and there was an employee with green hair working the counter. She was rude to the point it made us uncomfortable and she acted as though we were bothering her by ordering drinks. I asked if they had matcha and that seemed to annoy her as well. She said as few words as she could get away with without completely ignoring us. I still tipped 20% since I work in the service industry too. Still, I'm not sure what her problem is but hopefully it's addressed. Show less

Unfortunately the experience was terrible with customer service and taste. I had high hopes to try this location but as soon as we entered we were not welcome. The girl working there didnt say a word to us, she half ignored us for the first few minutes then just stared at us to take our order. She seemed extremely uninterested in her own life let alone others and the coffee we got had ground in it and tasted terrible like the grinders hadn't been cleaned out. We threw our coffees away because they've tasted so badly. We got no thank yous, no how can I help you and when we tried to order off the food menu all she had to say was the food menu is a lie and that we don't stock food. Literally the only words she managed to speak the entire time we stood there to order and leave. Unfortunately I will not be returning or supporting this business again unless things change. I'm sure other staff make a better experience but this one has ruined mine Show less

6 years agoThe coffee is really good. You can get a bulletproof coffee here which is pretty interesting, it has butter in it. Since it's attached to a board game shop, they have a variety of games to play for free while you hang out. I highly recommend this place!

4 years agoIce cream was really good. Latte was also pretty good with options for whole milk, almond milk and oat milk. They had other interesting looking drinks I'd want to try out. They have board games and video games you can play. I think you can buy boardgames too. A nice place to hang out.

7 years agoThis is absolutely my favorite coffee spot in Uptown. And I spend a LOT of time at Lyn Lake! The staff are courteous and friendly, the drinks are amazingly tasty. And the ambiance is enchanting. They make a small space work insanely well. Stop in and try their Arnie palmer...trust me.
