This is a popular spot. We went on Tuesday night after 8 PM, so the parking was free at the kiosk. We ordered breakfast and it was great. The pancakes were to me just the right size and not thick.

Such a vibe and the coffee is delicious! I got an oat milk latte with honey and it was made perfectly by Eric. Chef Marcus informed me about their in house made banana bread, ask about it! Overall this place is a 10/10. I’ll be back for more food and a game night with friends :)

I was in the area for Penn Relays, I walked in, and the vibe inside was chill and very sheek. I checked out their menu — they had several items that were vegan & gluten-free.

I was in the area for Penn Relays, I walked in, and the vibe inside was chill and very sheek. I checked out their menu — they had several items that were vegan & gluten-free. I ordered the Chickpea & Fava Bean Falafel. When I went to pay, the person who took my order said, “Are you recording?” I responded, “No,” because I wasn’t recording. I was honestly confused by the question — like, why are you in my phone, and what makes you think I’m recording you? It’s an iPhone; I have a bunch of screens open. They responded, “Well, it looks like you have a camera part open.” Huhhhhhhhh??? It went from the vibe being chill to me feeling uncomfortable real quick. I just wanted to take my food & go. I probably won’t be back because of this. Show less

Such a cool hidden gem! They had a few games that I haven't seen in years, and the menu is surprisingly extensive. Would gladly go back again!

I'm at the College Park location multiple times a week, so when it came time to visit Philly for My Chemical Romance, I knew this would be a stop. What you can always expect is excellent service (my server, Callie, completely read my mind and brought me ranch before I even asked for it) and a ton of games (we played cool animal facts). However, what I was captivated by the most was the green espresso machine at the entrance of the establishment. Too often, the capitalist machine of American aesthetic falls too quickly into the humdrum repetition of beige, titanium, black and white, or grey. How refreshing to see a business that really gets it; consumers want color! Kermit the Frog once said "it's not easy being green". Well, my friends, it is easy to love green. I hope when you walk into this fine establishment- before your sip your banana brown sugar latte, before you feast on BnB wings, before you settle in for a night of Catan... I hope you see this mean, lean, green machine. I hope it delights you. I hope it enchants you the way I have been enchanted- as though kissed by a princess and finally no longer trapped in the swamp of neutral shades. Show less

The place had a decent selection of games, but charging $6 per person just to play — on top of spending nearly $100 on food and drinks — felt excessive.

The place had a decent selection of games, but charging $6 per person just to play — on top of spending nearly $100 on food and drinks — felt excessive. The food and drinks were overpriced for the quality. The Brussels sprouts were labeled as “roasted” but came out undercooked, and the smash burger was still pink inside — hard to mess up when it’s supposed to be thin, but they managed. There were gnats or fruit flies constantly swarming around our table, which made eating and drinking unpleasant. Between the food issues, pest problem, and unnecessary fees, I won’t be returning.

Amazing food and fun games. I had too many different dishes to remember but I do remember that everything was amazing. A good amount of vegetarian options too. I highly recommend this place if you want to eat and chill.

Got coffee and the black bean burger with gluten free bread. I didn't get the orange-balsamic on the burger - but it was nice that they had a vegetarian/gf option. The burger kind of fell apart - but I wonder if that's partially because it was cut in half because of the gf bread. Wish the bread was toasted? But the avocado was perfectly ripe. The sweet potato fries are cross contaminated in the fryer. The drip coffee was awful - especially for nearly $4 a cup. Truly, get a latte. Nearly the same price - and I can only hope it is better. Or try the pour over? Or, I shouldn't have tried to order a coffee at 7 pm. But it tasted old and sad. I will look forward to returning and enjoying the games :) staff was incredibly friendly and the aesthetic/atmosphere was great. Show less

Definitely won't forget nor the gigantic bowl of Mac and cheese that my son tried to devour. (Delish) The Old Bay fries were great with just the right amount of kick of spice. I could eat them all day. Looking forward to my next visit hoping it's a date night on a nice warm day. Show less

Super idea- eat and sign out 1 of the board games from their extensive library of games. Indoor and 2nd floor deck eating/drinking available. Very solid menu with great combinations of flavors added to regular breakfast items. And of course the coffee was excellent

I’ve had just coffee here, and a meal as well! Very cozy spot to get schoolwork or work done. Great location, and there is usually parking out front for drivers. We highly recommend the tomato soup with grilled cheese as well as the hummus app.

It would have been helpful to have the gaming fee on the menu or otherwise posted. Honestly at $6 (unless you don't have a regular hours job), this place is not competitive with Queen & Rook, which offers far more games and will suggest games and even teach you the games for roughly the same cost. Oh well! Food was good, service was good, if a little absent-minded. Show less

I feel a bit bad admitting it but we honestly didn't have super high expectations when we visited tonight, not because of anything to do with the Board and Brew, but simply because other similar establishments we've been to in the past have been more gimmick than substance. However, we were all thrilled that not only does the Board and Brew have a super chill vibe and a huge variety of interesting board games you can play for a small per-person fee (one fee covers all the games), but most importantly (to me), the food was awesome! The Swiss and arugula melt, the fried maitake mushroom burger, and the pork belly and fried egg sandwich were all fantastic, as were the Old Bay fries. The Oreo milkshake and spiced apple cake were also really good. We weren't initially planning to game tonight but a flash flood warning prompted us to stay in a while and not travel, so we busted out a game and had a great time learning it for an hour or two till they closed. I hope to come visit again, either for a meal or even just for a drink or a dessert and a chill evening of board games. Show less

I always love coming to The Board and Brew- they’ve got great drinks and a wonderful atmosphere. Whenever I go I have a great time. It’s nice to play games and be around others having fun. Their board game selection is EXTENSIVE. You’ll never be board (get it?). Whether you like fun and lighthearted or more serious games, they have something for you. They’ve got card games, scary games, family games, space themed games, train themed games, cooperative games, competitive games, and more. They even have their own system to help you pick a game based on what you’re looking for. Coming with friends is a great time! They have space indoors and outdoors which is nice. I haven’t had their food, and I personally would love to see more gluten free options, though they do have some, but the drinks are really good! Their chocolate cherry latte for Valentine’s Day is out of this world! I am a super huge fan, so much that I miss it throughout the rest of the year. If I’m in the area I stop by just for a drink. In addition to good drinks, games, and vibes, their staff is great. Every waiter, waitress, and server I’ve had has been kind, friendly, cool, and attentive. Show less

Such a vibe and the coffee is delicious! I got an oat milk latte with honey and it was made perfectly by Eric. Chef Marcus informed me about their in house made banana bread, ask about it! Overall this place is a 10/10. I’ll be back for more food and a game night with friends :)

I ordered the Chickpea & Fava Bean Falafel. When I went to pay, the person who took my order said, “Are you recording?” I responded, “No,” because I wasn’t recording. I was honestly confused by the question — like, why are you in my phone, and what makes you think I’m recording you? It’s an iPhone; I have a bunch of screens open. They responded, “Well, it looks like you have a camera part open.” Huhhhhhhhh??? It went from the vibe being chill to me feeling uncomfortable real quick. I just wanted to take my food & go. I probably won’t be back because of this. Show less

I'm at the College Park location multiple times a week, so when it came time to visit Philly for My Chemical Romance, I knew this would be a stop. What you can always expect is excellent service (my server, Callie, completely read my mind and brought me ranch before I even asked for it) and a ton of games (we played cool animal facts). However, what I was captivated by the most was the green espresso machine at the entrance of the establishment. Too often, the capitalist machine of American aesthetic falls too quickly into the humdrum repetition of beige, titanium, black and white, or grey. How refreshing to see a business that really gets it; consumers want color! Kermit the Frog once said "it's not easy being green". Well, my friends, it is easy to love green. I hope when you walk into this fine establishment- before your sip your banana brown sugar latte, before you feast on BnB wings, before you settle in for a night of Catan... I hope you see this mean, lean, green machine. I hope it delights you. I hope it enchants you the way I have been enchanted- as though kissed by a princess and finally no longer trapped in the swamp of neutral shades. Show less

The place had a decent selection of games, but charging $6 per person just to play — on top of spending nearly $100 on food and drinks — felt excessive. The food and drinks were overpriced for the quality. The Brussels sprouts were labeled as “roasted” but came out undercooked, and the smash burger was still pink inside — hard to mess up when it’s supposed to be thin, but they managed. There were gnats or fruit flies constantly swarming around our table, which made eating and drinking unpleasant. Between the food issues, pest problem, and unnecessary fees, I won’t be returning.

The burger kind of fell apart - but I wonder if that's partially because it was cut in half because of the gf bread. Wish the bread was toasted? But the avocado was perfectly ripe. The sweet potato fries are cross contaminated in the fryer. The drip coffee was awful - especially for nearly $4 a cup. Truly, get a latte. Nearly the same price - and I can only hope it is better. Or try the pour over? Or, I shouldn't have tried to order a coffee at 7 pm. But it tasted old and sad. I will look forward to returning and enjoying the games :) staff was incredibly friendly and the aesthetic/atmosphere was great. Show less

I’ve had just coffee here, and a meal as well! Very cozy spot to get schoolwork or work done. Great location, and there is usually parking out front for drivers. We highly recommend the tomato soup with grilled cheese as well as the hummus app.

Honestly at $6 (unless you don't have a regular hours job), this place is not competitive with Queen & Rook, which offers far more games and will suggest games and even teach you the games for roughly the same cost.

music amazing waitress amazing and very solid food here! my friend got the vegan chorizo tacos which i gotta say i loved the most honestly. i got the cinnamon bun french toast which was really good too. the potatoes in the BnB meal are stellar and seasoned very yummy. the lemon blueberry pancakes where chocolatey which was a slightly odd flavor to add, so i wasnt the biggest fan. but the vibes and atmosphere are v nice its a great solid weekend brunch spot !!

I feel a bit bad admitting it but we honestly didn't have super high expectations when we visited tonight, not because of anything to do with the Board and Brew, but simply because other similar establishments we've been to in the past have been more gimmick than substance. However, we were all thrilled that not only does the Board and Brew have a super chill vibe and a huge variety of interesting board games you can play for a small per-person fee (one fee covers all the games), but most importantly (to me), the food was awesome! The Swiss and arugula melt, the fried maitake mushroom burger, and the pork belly and fried egg sandwich were all fantastic, as were the Old Bay fries. The Oreo milkshake and spiced apple cake were also really good. We weren't initially planning to game tonight but a flash flood warning prompted us to stay in a while and not travel, so we busted out a game and had a great time learning it for an hour or two till they closed. I hope to come visit again, either for a meal or even just for a drink or a dessert and a chill evening of board games. Show less

I always love coming to The Board and Brew- they’ve got great drinks and a wonderful atmosphere. Whenever I go I have a great time. It’s nice to play games and be around others having fun. Their board game selection is EXTENSIVE. You’ll never be board (get it?). Whether you like fun and lighthearted or more serious games, they have something for you. They’ve got card games, scary games, family games, space themed games, train themed games, cooperative games, competitive games, and more. They even have their own system to help you pick a game based on what you’re looking for. Coming with friends is a great time! They have space indoors and outdoors which is nice. I haven’t had their food, and I personally would love to see more gluten free options, though they do have some, but the drinks are really good! Their chocolate cherry latte for Valentine’s Day is out of this world! I am a super huge fan, so much that I miss it throughout the rest of the year. If I’m in the area I stop by just for a drink. In addition to good drinks, games, and vibes, their staff is great. Every waiter, waitress, and server I’ve had has been kind, friendly, cool, and attentive. Show less
