I have been a regular at Snakes and Lattes though the down side is it is a bit out of the way so i was quite happy to see another one open just north of the Eaton Centre. so here goes my 2 cents:
Location and decor:
- the connivence and location is ideal as it is prob a 5 min walk from Dundas station. It is located upstairs so the first time might be tricky to find.
- inside you will find a very new and modern looking set up with great 4 man booths lining the window and large tables for 6 to 8 people in the middle. There are also a few couches as well
Food:
- we went for lunch and games so I was happy the menu offer more than just cold sandwiches. We ordered meat lovers pizza and egg salad sandwich.
- both were great. The pizza was spicy and hot from the oven while the sandwich was served on a nice bun.
- so food is a plus
Games:
- I was a little disappointed with the game selection as they seemed to have a much smaller selection - maybe around 30ish games. they had some of popular stuff like Settlers and Ticket to ride but it lacks some of the more unique games
- Compared to Snakes and Lattes, it probably had 20% of their libray
- it worked ok for us as we played Pandemic
As others have mentioned, there is a $10 charge but i didnt get a sense there was a time limit. If you oreder a dessert and coffee, that should put you over the limit. in general, I would give it 4 stars for food but only 2 stars for games so it evens out to 3. they have some game people who can teach you but it is not as extensive.
So, Snakes and Lattes still sets the bar as my gaming cafe but we may come back if they expand their selection.
