    Some of the games available.

    We were visiting the area and needed a place to kill a few hours and boy did this place far exceed that. We were greeted by a really friendly staffer who took our drink orders and explained how it worked and then gave excellent recommendations. We had a blast playing board games for hours and even learning a new game from a volunteer. We are so sad we don't live closer - this place is perfect: welcoming, great selection, great space!

    This place already has a good community feel. I went in on a Sunday afternoon and had just enough space for me and my friends. I recommend choosing the "fellowship" special as it includes gameplay, one drink, and one snack at $15. We stayed there for well over 2 hours but easily could have stayed longer. They have games for children and adults. I'm so glad a board game Café has opened up again in Middletown!

    It was a coincidence we walked by here and we ended up staying for two hours! We really enjoyed this cafe. The game selection was impressive to say the least and they even have them labeled to help you pick games based on time, # of players, and more. I am so happy we got to experience this while visiting CT. The lavender chai latte was good too! The staff was very kind as well. 10/10 recommend.

    A great space for gaming. Bookshelves full of games, clean laminated tables of various sizes, full coffee bar, great staff, and fun decor.

    I gave 2 stars for the nice staff that gave us a nice game recommendation towards the end of our…read moretime there but that's about it. I cannot believe they don't serve hot food starting around 8:15pm and they close at 11pm. They only have cold items like hummus and veggies and sweets. And apparently, no outside food. Definitely a place to avoid if you want to eat a meal and play games after 8pm. It's not fun to play on an empty stomach!

    This is the gold standard for board game cafes!! The ones in NYC may charge less for unlimited…read moretime, but there you're paying for a bunch of beat up games and clueless staff. This is definitely not the case at the Main Street Board Game Cafe! The $15 entrance fee makes perfect sense to me... as they have a great variety of games in surprisingly immaculate condition, and very knowledgeable staff that are happy to explain how all of the games are played. The staff are really what set this cafe apart from others like it. Learning the rules from an expert is what makes complicated strategy based games less scary and more fun!! Everything is also very clean and well maintained, and the food is tasty. Definitely not the fanciest or most complex stuff on the menu, but who's coming here for the food anyway? They make a yummy grilled cheese, and some really good strong espresso based drinks. They have a great selection of teas from the clipper ship tea company as well.

    This was my first visit to cat café, so I cannot compare it to another experience or location…read more I like that you can make an appointment in advance or walk in. I was unsure, so I just made the appointment. It was $25 for 1 hour. The space is small, but very cute and nicely decorated. I had to ask what to do and how this works because no one really explained anything, other than telling me what door to walk through. Two girls working are fairly young; possibly college-age? They just sat in the room and talked while I interacted with the cats. I did ask questions and one of them answered and did engage. These cats are adoptable, and I think the staff could do more to advertise or promote that. Maybe because I'm a big cat and dog lover, I just expected more enthusiasm?

    I was on my way to an event at the Kate performance house, and arrived early, so walked down the…read morestreet and stumbled into this amazing cat heaven. While they recommend appointments, they were able to get me in and I was happy to pay the suggested fee. The place is extremely clean, well decorated and has amazing places for cats to play and hide when they need to. It isn't really a "cat cafe" in that they only have a few packaged drinks and snacks, but you are there for the cats. The cats vary widely in temperment (as cats will do). Some of the younger ones wanted to play and didn't mind contact, but some of the more mature ones were a bit feisty. I got a *very* tiny bite that I deserved :-). Be aware of kitty signals about how interactive they want to be. The owners are amazing and explained the procedures clearly. No pressure or even questions about adopting, they let the cats speak for themselves. If I were a cat I think I'd want to just stay there!
