About The Boarding House Cafe
We’re a neighborhood spot where coffee meets games. Pull up a chair, sip something delicious, and dive into our ever-growing library of board games — with friendly staff to get you playing in minutes.
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.
