Update 2025: I'm reducing the stars because the owner is too uptight to provide a friendly atmosphere. Though I was willing to buy drinks, they would not allow me to give a healthy snack from home to my young child unless I purchased the private room. As regulars, willing to purchase treats, this seemed awfully strict and we haven't gone back since. Original 4 star review: Great tamales, good selection, awesome library, spacious and sooooo many cool events hosted almost daily. Only things I don't love is that it's often really cold in there and there is not enough parking. And when it's crowded, the acoustics are bad and it gets really loud in there Show less

Was exploring different areas of Seattle, and since my friend lives West Seattle, decided to see all the little neighbourhood areas, and this was for sure a stop as I wanted to see how board game/nerd store are in the little suburbs of Seattle. This was considered more of a café first before the boardgames, nerdy stuff. But at the same time, they have dedicated private rooms for large groups who want to have a private gaming space too. The coolest thing is that they have such a good espresso machine to boot as well, with your games! They have SOO many tables in the café, and they were all the large ones too so you and your friends can play a decent board game. The coolest thing is that the location of the café is in West Seattle close to a lot of residential housing and it is literally a neighborhood gaming store. I love it a lot. When we visited, it was a Sunday morning, and there weren't a lot of people here, so it was the best time to visit, to grab a quick coffee and a bite to eat. I ordered a typical iced latte, and was invited by a bunch of ladies who brunch for a couple games of American style Mah-jong. I was extremely surprised by the style and on top of that it was extremely fun! I have played a lot of variety of MJ but this version is VERY new to me. I loved the game and the ladies were nice and lovely. Next time I want to come back here with a couple of friends, use one of their private rooms, and play a whole day of board games & magic the gathering. Show less

They did have a fan in the room, which was REALLY nice, but it still ended up getting uncomfortablely warm by the end of our time. Especially after the activities of eating, drinking, and playing games, the fan couldn't quite keep us at a comfortable temperature after about 2-4 hours. Show less

This is one of my favorite places to get coffee, snacks, and just hang out. They have so many games to buy, or just play with friends while you're hanging out. They have special game events and even rooms to rent for your group. They also have seasonal events and fun things to do during Halloween and Christmas time. I had a job interview there once because I love it so much and it was just a chill interview. We got some coffee and food and just had a good time. Show less

I came in to pick up a ‘ Too Good to Go’ purchase. It felt like I was being greeted reluctantly. The barista made no eye contact with me, kept her head down and continued to work. After about 20 seconds of awkward standing, I was the only one in the store, she acknowledged me while continuing what she was doing no eye contact. I got my purchase with ease. She asked if I wanted a drink, I should’ve went with my gut and said no but it felt like she was actually trying to engage in customer service. I ordered a 16oz mocha with almond milk. I got home to see I had, at most, 8oz of drink and a half of cup of foam!..in a cup that looks dirty. I don’t know if it was just me or she treats everyone this way but note taken, I will not be coming back. Disappointing Show less

The Missing Piece is a fantastic place for a cup of coffee, and a delicious pastry or warm panini. They use Victrola Coffee Roasters, and are experts at churning out great coffee. The store is bright, clean, and welcoming. Nooks present private stores to sit and read, or have a quiet conversation in what is otherwise a bustling cafe and game store. They have a couple private rooms, clean unisex bathrooms, a substantial game library, and really nice tables and chairs space out to allow in store play and dining. Their game offerings run the scale from kids and toddlers, all the way up to expert strategy and euro games. One of the coolest things is they have a week stocked used game section, that have been inspected, shrink wrapped, and priced to sell! I highly recommend both the coffee, and food... and frankly the environment couldn't be better! Show less

She asked if I wanted a drink, I should’ve went with my gut and said no but it felt like she was actually trying to engage in customer service. I ordered a 16oz mocha with almond milk. I got home to see I had, at most, 8oz of drink and a half of cup of foam!..in a cup that looks dirty. I don’t know if it was just me or she treats everyone this way but note taken, I will not be coming back. Disappointing Show less

The Missing Piece is a fantastic place for a cup of coffee, and a delicious pastry or warm panini. They use Victrola Coffee Roasters, and are experts at churning out great coffee. The store is bright, clean, and welcoming. Nooks present private stores to sit and read, or have a quiet conversation in what is otherwise a bustling cafe and game store. They have a couple private rooms, clean unisex bathrooms, a substantial game library, and really nice tables and chairs space out to allow in store play and dining. Their game offerings run the scale from kids and toddlers, all the way up to expert strategy and euro games. One of the coolest things is they have a week stocked used game section, that have been inspected, shrink wrapped, and priced to sell! I highly recommend both the coffee, and food... and frankly the environment couldn't be better! Show less

Though I was willing to buy drinks, they would not allow me to give a healthy snack from home to my young child unless I purchased the private room.

Original 4 star review: Great tamales, good selection, awesome library, spacious and sooooo many cool events hosted almost daily. Only things I don't love is that it's often really cold in there and there is not enough parking. And when it's crowded, the acoustics are bad and it gets really loud in there Show less

Was exploring different areas of Seattle, and since my friend lives West Seattle, decided to see all the little neighbourhood areas, and this was for sure a stop as I wanted to see how board game/nerd store are in the little suburbs of Seattle. This was considered more of a café first before the boardgames, nerdy stuff. But at the same time, they have dedicated private rooms for large groups who want to have a private gaming space too. The coolest thing is that they have such a good espresso machine to boot as well, with your games! They have SOO many tables in the café, and they were all the large ones too so you and your friends can play a decent board game. The coolest thing is that the location of the café is in West Seattle close to a lot of residential housing and it is literally a neighborhood gaming store. I love it a lot. When we visited, it was a Sunday morning, and there weren't a lot of people here, so it was the best time to visit, to grab a quick coffee and a bite to eat. I ordered a typical iced latte, and was invited by a bunch of ladies who brunch for a couple games of American style Mah-jong. I was extremely surprised by the style and on top of that it was extremely fun! I have played a lot of variety of MJ but this version is VERY new to me. I loved the game and the ladies were nice and lovely. Next time I want to come back here with a couple of friends, use one of their private rooms, and play a whole day of board games & magic the gathering. Show less

The Missing Piece is a fantastic place for a cup of coffee, and a delicious pastry or warm panini. They use Victrola Coffee Roasters, and are experts at churning out great coffee. The store is bright, clean, and welcoming. Nooks present private stores to sit and read, or have a quiet conversation in what is otherwise a bustling cafe and game store. They have a couple private rooms, clean unisex bathrooms, a substantial game library, and really nice tables and chairs space out to allow in store play and dining. Their game offerings run the scale from kids and toddlers, all the way up to expert strategy and euro games. One of the coolest things is they have a week stocked used game section, that have been inspected, shrink wrapped, and priced to sell! I highly recommend both the coffee, and food... and frankly the environment couldn't be better! Show less

Though I was willing to buy drinks, they would not allow me to give a healthy snack from home to my young child unless I purchased the private room.

Was exploring different areas of Seattle, and since my friend lives West Seattle, decided to see all the little neighbourhood areas, and this was for sure a stop as I wanted to see how board game/nerd store are in the little suburbs of Seattle. This was considered more of a café first before the boardgames, nerdy stuff. But at the same time, they have dedicated private rooms for large groups who want to have a private gaming space too. The coolest thing is that they have such a good espresso machine to boot as well, with your games! They have SOO many tables in the café, and they were all the large ones too so you and your friends can play a decent board game. The coolest thing is that the location of the café is in West Seattle close to a lot of residential housing and it is literally a neighborhood gaming store. I love it a lot. When we visited, it was a Sunday morning, and there weren't a lot of people here, so it was the best time to visit, to grab a quick coffee and a bite to eat. I ordered a typical iced latte, and was invited by a bunch of ladies who brunch for a couple games of American style Mah-jong. I was extremely surprised by the style and on top of that it was extremely fun! I have played a lot of variety of MJ but this version is VERY new to me. I loved the game and the ladies were nice and lovely. Next time I want to come back here with a couple of friends, use one of their private rooms, and play a whole day of board games & magic the gathering. Show less

After about 20 seconds of awkward standing, I was the only one in the store, she acknowledged me while continuing what she was doing no eye contact. I got my purchase with ease. She asked if I wanted a drink, I should’ve went with my gut and said no but it felt like she was actually trying to engage in customer service. I ordered a 16oz mocha with almond milk. I got home to see I had, at most, 8oz of drink and a half of cup of foam!..in a cup that looks dirty. I don’t know if it was just me or she treats everyone this way but note taken, I will not be coming back. Disappointing Show less

Was exploring different areas of Seattle, and since my friend lives West Seattle, decided to see all the little neighbourhood areas, and this was for sure a stop as I wanted to see how board game/nerd store are in the little suburbs of Seattle. This was considered more of a café first before the boardgames, nerdy stuff. But at the same time, they have dedicated private rooms for large groups who want to have a private gaming space too. The coolest thing is that they have such a good espresso machine to boot as well, with your games! They have SOO many tables in the café, and they were all the large ones too so you and your friends can play a decent board game. The coolest thing is that the location of the café is in West Seattle close to a lot of residential housing and it is literally a neighborhood gaming store. I love it a lot. When we visited, it was a Sunday morning, and there weren't a lot of people here, so it was the best time to visit, to grab a quick coffee and a bite to eat. I ordered a typical iced latte, and was invited by a bunch of ladies who brunch for a couple games of American style Mah-jong.

I came in to pick up a ‘ Too Good to Go’ purchase. It felt like I was being greeted reluctantly. The barista made no eye contact with me, kept her head down and continued to work. After about 20 seconds of awkward standing, I was the only one in the store, she acknowledged me while continuing what she was doing no eye contact. I got my purchase with ease. She asked if I wanted a drink, I should’ve went with my gut and said no but it felt like she was actually trying to engage in customer service. I ordered a 16oz mocha with almond milk. I got home to see I had, at most, 8oz of drink and a half of cup of foam!..in a cup that looks dirty. I don’t know if it was just me or she treats everyone this way but note taken, I will not be coming back. Disappointing Show less

The Missing Piece is a fantastic place for a cup of coffee, and a delicious pastry or warm panini. They use Victrola Coffee Roasters, and are experts at churning out great coffee. The store is bright, clean, and welcoming. Nooks present private stores to sit and read, or have a quiet conversation in what is otherwise a bustling cafe and game store. They have a couple private rooms, clean unisex bathrooms, a substantial game library, and really nice tables and chairs space out to allow in store play and dining. Their game offerings run the scale from kids and toddlers, all the way up to expert strategy and euro games. One of the coolest things is they have a week stocked used game section, that have been inspected, shrink wrapped, and priced to sell! I highly recommend both the coffee, and food... and frankly the environment couldn't be better! Show less

Especially after the activities of eating, drinking, and playing games, the fan couldn't quite keep us at a comfortable temperature after about 2-4 hours. Show less

UPDATE: Starting September 2nd 2025 you can find The Missing Piece on California Ave! If you're looking for an indoor place to relax with friends or your kids this is the place to be. This is one of my favorite places to get coffee, snacks, and just hang out. They have so many games to buy, or just play with friends while you're hanging out. They have special game events and even rooms to rent for your group. They also have seasonal events and fun things to do during Halloween and Christmas time. I had a job interview there once because I love it so much and it was just a chill interview. We got some coffee and food and just had a good time. Show less

I came in to pick up a ‘ Too Good to Go’ purchase. It felt like I was being greeted reluctantly. The barista made no eye contact with me, kept her head down and continued to work. After about 20 seconds of awkward standing, I was the only one in the store, she acknowledged me while continuing what she was doing no eye contact. I got my purchase with ease. She asked if I wanted a drink, I should’ve went with my gut and said no but it felt like she was actually trying to engage in customer service. I ordered a 16oz mocha with almond milk. I got home to see I had, at most, 8oz of drink and a half of cup of foam!..in a cup that looks dirty. I don’t know if it was just me or she treats everyone this way but note taken, I will not be coming back. Disappointing Show less

The Missing Piece is a fantastic place for a cup of coffee, and a delicious pastry or warm panini. They use Victrola Coffee Roasters, and are experts at churning out great coffee. The store is bright, clean, and welcoming. Nooks present private stores to sit and read, or have a quiet conversation in what is otherwise a bustling cafe and game store. They have a couple private rooms, clean unisex bathrooms, a substantial game library, and really nice tables and chairs space out to allow in store play and dining. Their game offerings run the scale from kids and toddlers, all the way up to expert strategy and euro games. One of the coolest things is they have a week stocked used game section, that have been inspected, shrink wrapped, and priced to sell! I highly recommend both the coffee, and food... and frankly the environment couldn't be better! Show less

Parking isn't great, as I got a ticket for accidentally parking in the paid parking lot next door when I came in the dark one time, but otherwise the store itself is pretty cool! Employees were all nice every time I've gone. Everything I've tried foodwise here has been pretty good! I love that they serve soups, meeples doesn't serve soup so that's specifically how I found this place. I always have a place to sit and the environment is relaxing. They were playing some sort of jazz sonic the hedgehog soundtrack tonight which was awesome to recognize. Wish they served a bigger soup variety, been chasing the clam chowder ever since I tried it lol. Show less
