Very friendly staff

Had a scone and cheesecake – both were very tasty! Great selection of boardgames and the person behind the counter was very helpful.

Actually, the Boarding Room is one block north of where it's shown on the map, at the corner of 32nd Ave (two blocks north of Nolan's Pharmacy).
Otherwise I agree with the last review, great place for gamers. Original owner retired, … More new owner seems to be doing a great job! -
A wonderful spot for families and friends! The Café has a huge selection of games for any occasion, plus a great variety of baked goods and drinks to enjoy while you play. You can also purchase games to take home. Great location and a fun, … More welcoming atmosphere — perfect for a cozy afternoon or game night out.

One of the best cafes in Vernon. I found this really cozy and comfortable space with calm environment. Really liked the friendly behaviour of staff too. I enjoyed my coffee with a great story book along with cozy environment. Must visit … More place it is.

Great place to hang out, visit or play board games you always wanted to try before you buy. They also sell a bunch of board games.
The tumeric latte is delicious! Also had the best scone I ever had..light fluffy and moist! No butter needed. … More None of those words describe any other scone I ever tried. 😊 thank you -
Beautifully cozy little café. I might just have to become a regular here. I ordered a Chai Latte and it is AMAZING highly recommend. The lady at the register has the cutest smile and she brought my order right over to me so is didn't … More have to leave my cozy little spot I found in a comfortable reclining chair. I love this chair and am tempted to buy it lol. I feel comfortable staying here for a long period of time to crochet as it is literally made for people to stay and play board games. There's a really comfy loveseat couch too. I hate when places make seating uncomfortable so people don't stay long. And the VIBES! I plan to come here with my boyfriend for a date.
