Enjoyable place, ac could be stronger.
The place is well organized. The board games were in good shape too.
The logistics, go upfront get assigned a table and tablet to order food with. Pay at the end.
The fries were 3/5, some pieces were soggy and some were crunchy.
Iced coffee felt a bit watery 2/5

Super cool place! Loved the vibes and the service. I really appreciated having a chill place to just relax and hang out during our visit to Victoria.
The staff were really friendly and helpful, and came by once in a while to check if we needed help with our game.
The ordering system is really cool, with the ability to just order directly from a tablet at your table. Perfect snacks and drinks for game time. 👌
We ended up buying the game that we played, as they have many games available for purchase also.
One of my favorite memories from our trip! 💕

Awesome place to chill out and play board games or to buy new ones! Owners are super knowledgeable and helpful with any kind of question you have, and food and drink options are great. Our favourite board game cafe for sure!

This place is the best for your board game needs! It's open, bright and the owners are friendly and kind. Nicholas is super knowledgeable about the games and I would bet he's played most of them by the way he knows them. The vegan milkshakes are bomb! (Although I would suggest an alternative type of lactose free ice cream for the floats, as some of the flavors don't meld that well) and unfortunately I haven't tried any of the sandwiches yet, but they look delicious. This is my choice of board game cafe in Victoria!

I really enjoyed it. The staff is friendly and there were a few things that stood out for me that make it better than other places.
Having the tablets at hand, with a graphical menu was incredibly useful. It made ordering a lot easier and more convenient.
I also liked having the pitchers (that are difficult to spill) so there's no need to keep getting up for water.
All in all, the only thing I'd suggest is maybe a bit brighter lighting, or something to make it feel less closed in, and expanding the game selection a touch. That would make this 6 stars for me though as I already think it's awesome.
