MUST COME for the snacks and drinks, stay for the fabulous vibe there. Great care was taken to build this environment with Tolkien themes throughout. Gaming is a key focus here with tables set up in the back. And not a dingy cellar but a great open area with games and windows all over. Gets one in the mood to play right away. I am going to plan a family game day here soon. Can’t say enough about the details in this place. Everywhere one looks, there are books, games, wall decorations, mounted swords that have have a reference number about them, they are growing their own herbs, and game to borrow or bring your own. There are tables inside the cafe in the front to hang out or in the back. The iced dark cherry tea was new to me and very good. Getting one for the road as well when I go. Parking is best a block away in the public garage. The cafe here will validate tickets for replace the cost. Show less

In a nutshell; great Cafe to pass the time at with plenty of card games and board games to choose from and good food and beverages selections. Finally gotten a chance to stop by this Cafe, some of the menu items have sprinkles of fantasy movie and game references on it so that was neat. The toast options we got look great, shareable to a degree, neat way to have a nice light breakfast before you go about your day. Beverages was good too and the tea is served In a huge mug so that was neat as well. Plenty of card and board games to choose from that adhere to anyone's tastes in tabletop games. Staff were nice, food was good and didn't take long to get served, seats and tables were comfortable enough for a breakfast session or a long board game session. Parking may be tricky as it is in the downtown area, but considering everything else, place is great. Show less

This place is really wonderful! If you are a LOTR fan, it really is worth going to take a peek. The themed drinks are cute, the food is really good, and the decorations are great. Their selection of boardgames to play while you hang out is really good! My friend and I both really enjoyed the bread on our sandwiches. I loved the polyjuice potion I had, which was lemonade and color changing magic! Later that day, we ended up buying Ticket to Ride. I was able to talk about the different games they had. When I explained how to play Ticket to Ride and showed her the pieces, she said her family would really like that game. So this was a great way to introduce people to more games! Show less
