WE ARE
THE BOARDING HOUSE CAFE

Our Story

The Boarding House Cafe began with a simple idea: give people a place to unwind, meet new friends, and discover great games over excellent coffee.
What started as a weekend game night soon turned into a community hub — a cozy space for first dates, family afternoons, and late-night strategy showdowns. We partner with roasters we love and local makers for treats and small plates.
Whether you’re a seasoned gamer or just curious, our team will help you find the perfect title and teach the rules.

We Bring Joy to everyone

We Bring Joy to every visit with warm smiles, cozy spaces, and genuine connection—whether you’re here to play a game, share a meal, sip your favorite drink, or simply unwind. From the moment you walk in, our goal is to make your day a little brighter: thoughtful service, inviting atmosphere, and experiences designed to be shared with friends, family, or that special someone. It’s not just what we serve, it’s how we make you feel—welcome, relaxed, and happy to stay.
