Came here to get a breakfast pastry while in the area. Brecotea is a Korean inspired bakery that…read morealso has hot and cold beverages, breads, cakes, and savory sandwiches as well. The ambiance was clean and orderly. Upon entering, you grab a serving tray lined with parchment and some tongs. The items are in a glass enclosed display that you have to open and place your selections on your tray for purchase. I settled on the pistachio cream filled pecan pastry, the almond twist, and strawberry shortcake. The beverage menu was extensive: matcha, flavored teas, cocoa, espresso/coffee, and more. We were greeted by pleasant staff at checkout and our orders placed in a parchment type bag for take out. They also have seating inside. The pastries were just sweet enough without being overly sweet, which I like. The pistachio cream was a perfect compliment to the pecan encrusted pastry. The almond twist was both flaky and crunchy with the sliced almonds on top, and the strawberry shortcake had layers of real strawberries, whipped topping and yellow cake that was moist. All were fresh. All in all, a great place to stop by for a morning pastry treat and tea/coffee while in the area,

Bright and airy space, almost like a spa!…read more Quiet when I came in weekday afternoon. Calming spot to grab a treat, get some work done/journal, or catch up with friends in an aesthetic and modern cafe. Ordered the paradise tea with mango and avocado. I loved the textures and layers of flavors. The drink was filling and lasted me a while, not watery but refreshing. The mango tasted fresh and avocado creamy. I haven't tried the pastries at this location, but have at their other Richmond cafe. Great cakes and buns made fresh in-house. Easy to find parking at the lot outside. Service is pretty quick.

Remote worked for a few hours here. I went right when they opened and was greeted immediately when…read moreI walked through the door. The service was very friendly throughout my visit and really appreciated the attentiveness from the sever. I ended up getting a hot Charcoal Mocha because it seemed like something you can't get anywhere else, it has activated charcoal, espresso, cocoa powder & a touch of coconut oil. I love that they serve their drinks out of fun mugs, it feels homey. To eat, I got the Charter Colony sandwich once I noticed they offered gluten free bread. They have a great game selection and play area for kids and I think this would be a great place to catch up with a friend. Will be back!

TLDR: first breakfast experience was great but my second visit was average and slightly…read moredisappointing comparatively. Maybe 3rd time's the charm? Vibe- I came here looking for a place to eat and get some work done. If you're big on ambiance/aesthetics then this is not the place for you. The decor is dated and distracted. I was expecting a neighborhood coffee shop vibe but the staff wasn't particularly friendly or welcoming. Overall, service was underwhelming. Food - both times I ordered the charter colony. The croissant is really the star IMO. It's soft, fluffy, buttery - everything you could ask for! Other than that the sandwich is to be expected. Good but not wowed for the price. The side of potatoes were WAY better during my first visit. They were super crispy and flavorful. This time they were average and bordering burnt. My food came out warm (not hot) and I waited for nearly 15 minutes for my sandwich which felt far too long considering I was the only person (literally!) in the entire restaurant.

We were walked through the steps of the new game by the staff and he made it very easy to understand. The food is very good! I have gotten the sweet potato fries with the chicken wrap every time! The service is very quick. I love looking around and seeing groups of people and families connecting over games!

Unplugged Games Cafe is an absolute gem. If you're into board games, card games, or just looking…read morefor a chill place to hang out, this is the spot. They have an impressive library of games, covering just about anything you could want to play. Whether you're into strategy games, party games, or card games, there's something here for everyone. The staff is incredibly helpful. They don't just sit behind the counter; they actually help you pick out games, walk you through how to play them, and make sure you're comfortable. Their enthusiasm and knowledge really make the experience that much better. The food is great too. They put fun and creative twists on classic cafe dishes, and everything we tried was delicious. The drink selection is surprisingly strong. They offer a good range of non-alcoholic options along with a variety of meads, wines, beers, and mixed drinks. The vibe is exactly what you'd want from a gaming cafe. It's casual, relaxed, and welcoming. People are respectful, helpful, and focused on having a good time. Whether you're there to try something new or play a favorite with friends, it's easy to settle in and enjoy. If you're into card collecting, you'll appreciate the selection of booster packs for popular games. It's a great place to play, trade, and connect with others in the community. This place strikes the perfect balance between fun, comfort, and connection. We'll definitely be back (for the 12th time?)
