Castle Board game happens to be a great location for me because I live close to Chinatown. They have a big space with areas in the front and back of cafe. Unlike Snake & Lattes, you do not feel cramped on small tables.
Two of us were at the cafe on a Saturday afternoon. The place got busy quite quickly but not to the point where there is a line going out the door. I guess it is because there are more gaming places in town now. They could use a little more staff because although the staff here are also knowledgeable, they have to also quickly attend to new customers walking through the door. We were being coached on games but they had to excuse themselves a couple of times.
They have a good variety of games and I like how they have organized the games on the shelves as well. Simple masking tape with names, but I appreciate it because it helps me narrow down quickly what games I want to play. Hopefully they continue to expand their collection because there was one game we were looking for they did not have.
We also had the Key Lime cheese cake. Surprisingly, the desert was really good. They serve anything a coffee and desert shop would have also. In addition, you can serve yourself water flavoured with lime. It is something simple, but you are not waiting around for a waiter or waitress to fetch you water.
The cost was was reasonable in comparison to other places. I would be coming back to this location more often due to convenience and its big space.
Note: do not think they have their liquor license. That would be a plus if they did.
