Game Selection and Variety
Pros:
"There were plenty of games to choose from and the cooked food was a bonus."
"Really well baked cakes too."
"They have over 500 games to choose from which was way more than I expected."
"There are LOADS of games to choose from."
"A gigantic collection of board games."
"Great selection of board games across all ages, genres, skill level, and time frames."
"This board game cafe is a gorgeous little safe haven near the busy Liverpool city centre."
"A cafe where you can play nearly any boardgame ever invented!"
Cons:
"The board game we decided to play was bears vs babies. The game was quite fun but not a game I’d probably choose to play again as I can imagine it becoming quite repetitive and boring after a while."
"Some feedback: I did find it hard to get to the righthand section of the games because there is a table of people a bit too close to it, so I mostly avoided half of the shelf."
Food and Drink Quality
Pros:
"Homemade cakes are divine, meals are scrumptious."
"The vegan chocolate cake was very nice. It was very soft delicate."
"Bagels and quiche were tasty and cakes were delicious!"
"Great variety of food. Quick snacks to have whilst playing one of their wide variety of games and freshly made toasties."
"Food was delicious, I got the sea bass which was full of flavour."
"The food and drink choice is good and affordable."
"The lady who served me was very helpful with giving some suggestions and helping with ideas."
"Lovely cakes and friendly service the only disappointment was me not having allowed enough time for a longer stay."
Cons:
"The toastie was ok. I felt it could have done with more cranberry."
"Came in with some friends for some drink and cake to kill some time. Only two of us ended up ordering anything. We stayed for 35 mins and didn’t play any games ended up getting charged £11.25 for a slice of cake and a can of coke."
Staff and Service
Pros:
"Staff is super kind and friendly!!"

"Super friendly staff and great food."
"The staff are super friendly and give the cafe a lovely welcoming atmosphere."
"Absolutely superb place to visit for the afternoon, especially as an avid gamer. Every city needs a Jason and Vanessa."
"The staff here are so friendly! Happy to help us choose a game and explain it to us."
Cons:
"The service was a little slow but we didn’t mind as we were busy playing a game. Plus there was only 1 person working so we weren’t expecting quick service."
"Took us quite a while to get served after sitting down. They were also kind of stingy with offering us sugar."

"A unique experience in Liverpool run by friendly staff who are avid board game players."
"Off the beaten track, but well worth it. I had soup and it was delicious, and the game choice is amazing."
"One of my favourite places in Liverpool, it has a great atmosphere to it, prices are reasonable, and the staff is very friendly and helpful when it comes to choose a game."
Cons:
"It was a little hot inside on a sunny day but we had a great time here."
"What a shame that rich country like UK with huge geek community has no place dedicated to them only to meet and spend time together. Bad coffee, drink options poor with zero creativity, ugly interiors, paid board games and super sweet cakes. Nice staff though."
