Games and good coffee. They have sandwiches too. Outdoor seating. Cool little quirky place in a strip mall.

Staff was incompetent and unhelpful, and moved at the speed of molasses. Was maybe 12 people inside and took me 40 minutes to get one iced late and then never even got my food, so i asked for a refund after waiting for my food for one hour on a non busy day. It's like they just forgot about me even though i asked multiple times throughout the hour of standing by the counter waiting. Got my refund and left. Will never go back. read more

It's a really fun and cozy environment. The food and drinks were pretty average, but I feel like the vibe and seating of the place makes up for it. Very good environment for meeting friends, hanging out, or even getting some work done. There is a big shelf of board games that you can try with friends and most of the tables could seat fairly large groups. read more

I love Meeple's! I had the best time coworking here with some friends. My bf and I come here for breakfast all the time. We usually order the werewolf waffle. This time I got the Cupid waffle, which was delectable but also super sweet. If you like strawberry jam, it's a must try. My favorite drink is their tiramisu latte. Service was really good (and I tipped quite a bit!) and the ambiance is nice for people who wanna meet and play games or hang out. read more

Super cute place with every board game imaginable! It has a very cozy vibe, with a lot of people on their laptops and a few people playing card games when I went. I was really excited to try the croiffle, though I ended up quite disappointed to discover that it was literally just a croissant warmed up in a waffle iron. Not sure what I expected, but I guess I thought it would be more of a freshly made waffle. Next time I will try the waffles instead. Anyway, service was fast and friendly! Menu looks great and I look forward to trying some other things next time. read more

Food looked good! Decently quiet. Service was ok wasnt really helpful with suggestions they were pretty much out of everything I tried to order which was extremely frustrating seeing as it was my first time here and I already wasnt familiar with the menu. Guy just kinda sat there staring at us instead of trying to help us decide what to get on there very short menu in store compared to their online options. There frappe taste like espresso made from whip cream just threw it away. I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

Cute place for coffee and a great space if you want to bring or rent board games. There's plenty of seating inside and out. I ordered a maple latte and it was delicious. I asked for light syrup and they accommodated my order. This was served in a nice mug. I would have preferred the coffee a little hotter and less costly ($7.00). read more

Woof. I knew the sandwich would be bad when it was done way too quickly. The fried eggs were more like smushed hard boiled eggs, the bacon was worse than fast food quality. Here to warn others to keep searching for your breakfast sandwich spot. read more

Got a latte and a sandwich and both were good! Typically, breakfast sandwiches have scrambled eggs so I was a little surprised that their breakfast sandwich comes with boiled eggs, but it is indicated on the menu so I knew to expect it. They have a nice variety of board games available, and I think a board game Café is a brilliant concept! read more

I didn't have the "full" Meeples experience as I got my order to go and didn't play any board games. The employee in the front who took our order and made drinks was super nice, and they have a decent number of items ranging from coffee to breakfast to flatbreads and more. However, the portion sizes were so small! It was a good thing I got a milkshake (s'mores) in addition to the Hana BLT sandwich because I would've been hungry. My friend got the avocado toast and that was even smaller. It looked like one piece of toast sliced in half. Order more than one thing. read more

Bottom line: Cute little coffee shop in Morrisville with delicious coffee beverages and interesting eats to offer. There is a board game library that customers can "check out" games to play while there, which makes it unique around here. The Deets: I've seen Meeple's Brew pics and reviews for a while now, and finally got by to try out this local coffee shop/eatery/board game cafe. It is located down near the O2 Fitness location at Park Place shopping center in Morrisville. There is ample seating both outside and inside, with some tables inside large enough for small groups. It's nicely decorated and quaint with a hint of modern inside. Some electrical outlets are available at some seats/tables but not every one I found. Across from the ordering counter is a large shelf of board games that can be "checked out" for use (at the time of this writing there is a $5/day "Library Pass" advertised by poster). At the ordering counter, you can find the beverage and food menus as well as menus for board games to select as well. For both of my visits recently, I had their skim latte to drink and both were excellent. On my second visit, I decided to try out some items on their food menu. I started out with the cheesy scone, which the cashier did point out had a bit of seasoning to it...I am glad she did, as one bite I took had quite a kick to it! It was delicious although I could have done without the spiciness I encountered in that one bite. I also ordered their ham/egg/cheese sandwich called the Hammified but when I found out that the only way the eggs were served there, even on sandwiches, were hard-boiled then I decided to skip on the egg (hard-boiled eggs are really not my thing now). The resulting toasted ham and cheese sandwich was pretty tasty, even with no melt to the cheese it was not bad. I also saw at the next table over some pretty amazing looking waffle creations, if you like a lot of things on your waffles. Of note, the customer gets a beeper to let them know their order is ready, and honestly wished they had a silent/vibrate mode as it does break the mood of the cafe when one goes off loudly. However for the most part I like this little coffee shop/cafe in Morrisville and from the amount of customers I saw coming in each visit, looks like many feel the same way. Oh read more

Always good coffee but this last visit the wait was way too long and I couldn't understand why as there was nobody ahead of us. Still a place I like to visit. Just happened to have to wait way too long at my last visit. read more

I recently went to Meeples Brew to catch up with and old friend. It was the first time there for both of us, and we had the best time seeing each other, reminiscing, and sharing new ventures. Meeples really such a cozy and inviting space that brings that out and makes you want to stay longer. They had quite a bit of seating and large tables that are perfect for groups to gather to study or enjoy the large selection of games on the wall. I ordered the honey lavender latte with whipped cream. I'm not a coffee gal, but this was a nice light flavor that I think other non-coffee drinkers would appreciate. The service was super quick and our cashier was extremely friendly and helpful when we ordered. read more

Meeple's Brew is a unique spot that combines board games with a cozy café vibe. I came for a weekend brunch with friends, and thought it was definitely a great experience. The breakfast menu includes different flavors of waffles, oatmeal, and breakfast sandwiches. There's also a wide variety of cafe drinks including lattes. I ordered the oatmeal and a tea latte. I thought it was a nice touch that they put cute little animal-shaped tea balls to make the drinks. Overall, my drink was solid. Lastly, prices are reasonable for a local cafe. read more

One of the amazing places to hangout in RTP! My husband wanted to really try a fancy art coffee in the area and we ended up finding this gem. Since then I have gone back here a couple of times including when I wait for my AAA appointments, conveniently in the same complex. They have a delicious selection of coffee. We have tried waffle on one of our morning visits and it was good. Their breakfast menu is not extensive but complements the coffee. The highlight of this quaint little place are the several stacked up games. While you can always work on your laptop, chat with friends, I think the games add an amazing dimension to this place. read more

We stopped at Meeple's for breakfast after we arrived at Raleigh-Durham airport. We wanted something more local than a big chain. Coffee was tasty as well as the chai. The staff were friendly. The food was really tasty: smoothie, avocado toast, oatmeal and a waffle. Fresh and prepared to order. They have LOTS of games -- would be a great place for a game gathering! (We did not have time to play ) read more

When I first found this place, I was curious to see how it exactly was, but let me say this might be one of my favorite coffee shops in the triangle now. Pictured is their lavender honey latte and I think this rates in my top 5 latte drinks I've ever had. It was honestly very smooth and the honey lavender pairs really well. To note, it is definitely slightly on the sweeter side. My friend got their regular black coffee and that was also great. I think what I really love about this place is the atmosphere. They have a board game wall with the most games I have ever seen. It definitely looks like a place you can come to study but then also relax with your friends to play a couple board games. Oddly enough, what surprisingly impressed me was the bathroom and how progressive it was. They had different hygienic products in the bathroom which I had never seen a restaurant/coffee shop ever do before. The staff was also great and friendly to interact with. To add, wifi was also great and no connectivity problems. Overall, love this place and will definitely be going back to study and also play a couple board games! read more

SO GOOD. Had the honey lavender matcha latte, white chocolate mocha, the affagato, the beef-fore we were stars sandwich, and the Mason stuffed waffles. My official favorite place for matcha. The sandwich was delicious and filled with so much flavor. It hit the spot. The waffles were huge, two waffles stacked with walnuts and chocolate in the middle. The affagato was freaking amazing. Everything was so good. There are board games inside so it's a great place to bring your friends/ family to enjoy a wonderful meal and entertainment. read more

This small place was hopping when I arrived on a sat at 11:30am. The owner helped guide me through my first order as their menu is a bit different. But my settler sandwich + egg (owner recommended) was fantastic and the coffee hit the spot. Well worth traveling to this unique coffee and food joint! Oh, and did I say they have a whole wall of puzzles and games to keep u busy for house on a rainy day?? read more

Service was slower than expected. Apparently the workload needed more than two people.

LOVE this place! If you're into cards and board games, this place is for you. Its a great place for a group of friends or a fun date night. It's $5 per person to play and you have access to all the games. They have traditional games such as Life and other newer games for selection based on your interests/preferences. I visited with a friend and we opted for a 2 person game. There is dedicated staff there to recommend games based on level of difficulty and your interests. Additionally, they are great in walking through how to plan the game if you haven't before. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating but I can imagine this place gets packed during peak hours. And they also serve food! I didn't have anything on my first visit but I look forward to trying some of the menu items next time! read more

I didn't know they had two locations! I thought I was going to the original location, but no complaints about stumbling into the new location accidentally. It was quaint and clean, and the specialty latte I ordered was not too sweet! I got the iced latte miel and stayed for about an hour or so on a weekday morning. It didn't get too crowded, and the temp inside was just right. It's a bit of a drive for me, but I would def go back if I was in the area. read more

I have now been twice to Meeple's Brew. Tried last week with my granddaughter but they were having Marvel trivia and it was packed! We grabbed some delicious coffee brews, looked at the games and left. We were really excited to go back last night. It was not as packed so we were able to get a seat, a couple of smoothies and picked out an easy game we had never played. We had a really great time with no phones, just games and conversation. I would also recommend the avocado toast. Really yummy! We had a blast and will definitely be back soon. Our night together is on Wednesday and it is great to have found this gem of a place we can have fun together. read more

Interesting place in a strip mall, reminded me more of a college hangout. One of the bigger type coffee shops, lots of seating, outdoor with some heaters too. Their main draw is the 100's of board games you can play here, you can literally be here all day. Pretty much what every table was doing on a Sunday afternoon! Except a couple which were working I assume on a laptop. Huge array of games, with a game expert on hand to explain each one, that was his job and he knew everything! Great concept. Their coffee bar was a full service, any type of espresso coffee you want, they also had some seasonal ones. Also had a breakfast menu , waffle specialty menu, with some great sounding toppings. A few sweet treats to choose from, wish they had the orange chocolate scone which sounded great but they were all out. We had cappuccinos, lattes and a peppermint hot chocolate. All really nice freshly made, and great brews. Hit the 3pm slump very well. Not too milky and they had all the million types of milks out there these days. Love that they serve them in proper cups not paper, unless you want paper. Great little pit stop, Meeple's brew was a busy fun place, looks like they stay busy all day, and had staff! read more

I always enjoy coming to Meeple's. The concept of a cafe operating as a board game rental hang-out spot applies here. I do see folks working away on their laptops at times, but it feels very social here. They have a Great Wall of board games for you to choose from. Note: Auto-Correct capitalized that, but it seems appropriate. Lattes have been nice and well made as well. I definitely recommend for an hour or two of fun! read more

Used to really enjoy coming here, but lately their staff and food have been much worse. Service is slow and mistakes with orders are frequent, food is served cold, and staff is aloof and unpleasant. Food prices are pretty high, too. It's a shame, since I remember having some really positive experiences here with particular staff members helping out with board game recommendations and enjoying some good flatbreads. But given the last two negative experiences and the cost, I can't recommend it anymore. read more

Meeple's Brew - Cappuccino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Morrisville, North Carolina

My husband and I went here for Saturday brunch. The place was packed! It wasn't your typical cafe/restaurant. This is more of a coffee shop where you can play games and hang out for a while. It's a cool concept but when it comes to food, this isn't the place to eat good eats. We ordered 4 things: - hot matcha latte - Iced matcha latte - cinnamon pancakes - coffee pancakes/waffles You would think it would take less than 30 mins? Nope- we waited for at least 40 mins... And when we received our food and drinks, they were subpar. My hot matcha latte was not even close to hot and it seems that the powder wasn't fully mixed in. The pancakes/waffles were also cold and wasn't impressive. It was a waste of $$ to be honest. I wouldn't recommend this place for food. But I would recommend for a cool spot to hang out with friends and I would maybe try the drinks again. read more

We came here hoping for a cute, cozy coffee shop vibe with board games. We ordered two drinks and a Croiffle (basically a croissant they put in a waffle maker). While we waited, we noticed it was extremely cold, not cozy at all for a coffee shop. Additionally, you have to pay extra money to play the games. So then, we waited an absurd amount of time for coffee. The croissant took about 10 mins to come out. The drinks took 25 mins to get. When we looked in the kitchen, the 3 people they had working seemed to not know what they were doing, and moving at a snail's pace. We also watched a large group of people who showed some cult-like behavior (think a main guy telling them "as the king, I am blah blah blah connection is just maintained tension", one guy was holding a fork up in the air for several minutes) at a table that blocked the entry into the cafe, who randomly started doing martial arts moves on each other? The whole vibe was just WEIRD. The only saving grace was that the coffee was decent. It's a hard pass for us on returning, for a multitude of reasons. read more

How this place got 4.5 stars is beyond me. The two stars are based on the coffee and board games. We went here for Mother's Day. It took 1 hour and 45 minutes to get coffee and some horrible sandwiches. Tasteless and just bland. I could have walked over to food lion and bought the ingredients for a nice sandwich and just bought coffee. The service was so slow and I could not figure out what made it take so long. I am sure many people love this spot but It's not for me. read more
