| - Roll Play Cafe is the newest board game cafe in Toronto, and boy, does it ever deliver! I was super impressed with my entire experience here.
Roll Play gets brownie points right off the bat for not having an hourly fee or cover charge, so long as you are eating and/or drinking. Considering if you are spending hours at a time at an establishment like this, and are very likely going to want to eat or drink, I think it's a fantastic idea.
The space is big and bright - filled with standard tables and chairs, some loungey couches and chairs, as well as booths. You could find space for groups both small and large pretty easily. The decor is modern and clean (as are the bathrooms!)
The food is by far the best food I've had at a board game cafe. I tried the pizza and it was delicious (and full of tons of options!), as well as a hot chocolate that I gobbled up quite fast and was also very good. My friends sampled a few other things from the menu, all with positive feedback.
The prices for the some of the items (desserts, drinks) are a teeny bit high, but I think the lack of a cover/fee makes up for it.
The service was amazing. Friendly, attentive, full of knowledge and game suggestions, and willing to just talk shop if you want to nerd out with them for a bit about gaming.
The board game selection is good, but not quite as good as some of the other board game cafés in Toronto - and this is the only thing keeping my review from 5 stars. However, since Roll Play just opened a couple of weeks ago, I am positive their library will grow.
I am definitely going to be frequenting this establishment. Can't wait to go back!
