| - LOVE, love, love "Riddle Room!" Went here with a group of 6 friends and it was an absolute pleasure. As a board games junkie, I'm surprised to hear a review say it's not as "cozy" as Snakes and Lattes. I find Snakes and Lattes almost overbearing with how crowded it is (and no reservation system,) and how dim the lights can be, and Riddle Room has such a sense of community to it - for once, the people who work there actually care about you and go above and beyond.
BIG shout outs to Phil, who we had as our server and who really went above and beyond with everything. Enthusiastic and considerate, he noticed we wanted to watch the Jays game and went out of his way to make sure that we could stream it there. He also just chatted with us and made us feel extremely welcome, like the Riddle Room is a place to meet new and old friends. Thanks to Phil, we'll definitely be back!!
Food: amazing! Try the Japanese popcorn (tossed in a sweet seaweed mix)- it's such a treat to the tastebuds and for $2 it can't be beat!
Drinks: my boyfriend is a coffee snob, but he and I both adored the drinks we ordered here! Riddle room is KNOWN for its talented barista and its phenomenal latte art (heard they're having a latte art competition coming up, too! How exciting.) bf got the Cortado and I got the lavender earl grey. We were both very impressed- this place has better coffee than some specialty coffee shops down the street.
Board games: cards against humanity, Telestrations, settlers of catan, etc...you'll find the most popular games here and I hope the collection increases. No complaints, though!
Everything else: absolutely spectacular. I love how innovative Riddle Room is with their videogame selections and equipment- they're prepared for everything! Our server even offered us a charger cable for our laptop when it ran out.
Definitely check this place out! Or don't...because I kind of love not having to wait for hours to get a table at a board games café ;)
