Wow, I love this place and definitely want to come back! The variety of games is amazing (you will find something for any group of people, or even solo). The place’s atmosphere is super cozy, too, and you can even enjoy your meal in there without playing games (you also won’t have to pay the game fee). Anyway I highly recommend the Oreo milkshake and the food is delicious!

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’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.
