Good coffee, hundreds of board games you can play there for free, and tons you can also buy. Great place.

We love to learn new table and board games ... look at them after a fun afternoon / evening with family or friends. So you can also try out all kinds of games before you buy them, we enjoy the supplement to our list of games to try to play for our family at home. During this visit we ordered the sugar-free vanilla latte, split soft pretzels, and once super time rolled around we all ordered different sandwiches that we all enjoyed (the Executive grilled cheese was our favorite). The staff is so friendly and helpful and the atmosphere cannot be beaten.

You have a lot to play and a fairly large and varied selection to buy. Interior and outdoor seating, clean toilets and good coffee. That would be a good place to meet with friends.

Burrito needs work. Beans, no taste, eggs seemed like school pudded? Jalapenos were pickled... Burrito uses fresh, not pickled! Sighs. Sauce was good, vegetables should be grilled first. 5 stars for coffee, and leave me my way by ordering food / drinks. Great place.

All of my favorite coffee shops have one thing in common, they make me feel comfortable and safe. Which may be a lot of pressure, but if you frequent coffee shops, you know what I mean [iykyk]. They offer a small lunch and dinner menu, while also providing house made coffee shop pastry essentials. The staff is laid-back and inviting and were able to help me decide between drinks and snacks. I enjoyed an infamous lemonade mouth which included all of my favorite things and a delicious cream cheese danish (I was in a small utopia, honestly). There was plenty of space to work, but I would stop by here with some friends in between errands. They are open from 7am-10pm, which I thought was very nice for college students or fellow night owls. My one and only small grievance was for the parking lot. It's small, y'all, but there are a few neighborhoods, nearby.

The men's bathroom, as the video shows, is worth the price of admission ?. Plenty of colors ?. I love all the board games and the laid back environment. We will definitely be stopping by again in the near future ?Kid-friendliness: You could definitely bring your kids there to play some board games and have some fun

Brought my 18 month old to get lunch today and apparently the fenced in area is too far for them to bring you food. Guess she was too lazy to walk an extra 30ft. Even when I walked in carrying my child she still refused to help walk the plates out to our picnic table. Will not be returning

The staff weren’t rude, but no one was friendly either; everyone seemed to have a bad attitude.

I politely asked if they could turn it down, as it was quite disruptive. They lowered the volume slightly, but it was still distracting. Although there were only four customers in the café, staff should be considerate of their patrons. This wasn’t my experience on previous visits. I hope management sees this review and addresses this with the employees. This is a business, and while open, it shouldn’t feel like a concert where staff blast loud music to dance and lip sync. I came to relax, not to attend a show.

I ended up going early in my trip and liked it so much that I returned several times before I left. It's a fantastic spot for anyone who enjoys board games. We played two new games that I probably wouldn’t have discovered otherwise. The atmosphere was much more welcoming than other places I visited in Nashville, and I will definitely return if I'm back in the city.

Coffee is excellent and we had a choice of three snacks for only seven dollars. Plenty of people playing and others not playing and just having coffee and food. Small area to sit outside and nice park space next to store. Plenty of other great food options in this fun little part of Nashville away from broadway. On street free parking was easy to find.

The coffee was decent but the coffee cup leaked and the lid did not seal. I will not go back there for a second chance this was my first time and last.
