Snakes and Lattes was like THE board game cafe back in the day. I used to frequent this location many times in university. It's conveniently located, has a large game selection, and has pretty decent bites. Of course, the prices have increased a lot since I've first visited like 10 years ago. Like... a lot. They used to be one of the few board games cafes around but this price increase now makes it a little less appealing than other cafes that have opened up over the years that offer a much lower table charge. The current price here is $20 but it does come with unlimited non-alcoholic drinks (drip coffee, tea, pop and juice), and they do have a LARGE game selection - like... into the thousands. There are reservations but they don't accept them during their peak hours (after 4 pm on fridays and the weekend). Reservations are also for three hours. And apparently there's trivia every single Tuesday! I do prefer other cafes these days but you can't go wrong with visiting this classic. read more

Snakes & Lattes Annex - Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

There's always multiple events going on at Snakes & Lattes which I enjoy going to. There was a casual play for chess event that I went to and I ordered the nutella hot chocolate which was really good! They also gave out free water which was great. They also have other food items to choose from such as mac and cheese, burgers, nachos, and a potato. They all looked so good! I do prefer the Snakes & Lattes College location but the Annex location isn't bad. Overall, I love how there's always something going on and how there's so many board games to learn and play. I would recommend reserving a table in advance as the place does get really busy. read more

Snakes & Lattes Annex - Nutella Hot Chocolate - Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I'd give it a 3.5 if I could. It was really busy which was great to see! The person working the front had their hands full but wasn't very friendly when we spoke with them. We had said we wanted a table and they offered us one and told us to order drinks in the meantime. Then when they came back they said we had to pay $20/person which comes with unlimited non-alcoholic drinks. I explained I had paid for our drinks already and their response wasn't very kind. We ended up sitting to drink our drinks and not playing any games. Everyone looked to be having a good time and one of the servers was helping a table with the rules to what seemed to be a complex game. The barista was very nice. I ordered a chai latte since I wanted to try their house-made syrup but it was suuuuuper cinnamon-forward. I didn't get much else in terms of flavour. Fun vibes and maybe I'd come back with a group now that I know how it works. Reservation recommended read more

We stopped by in the mid-afternoon to spend a couple of hours. We paid for the 3-hour free-play that comes with some fountain drinks and free refills. Even though the space was not packed, our server was not very attentive. They waited a very long time before taking our initial order and didn't check on us for a long time for refills or any other orders. The game selection is impressive. I appreciated that things are labeled to indicate difficulty level and approximate time needed for play. Their staff is also on hand to give recommendations. read more

Snakes & Lattes Annex - Czechvar's Delight - Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Love coming here to try new games and play our favourites. They have a large variety of games to choose from, and board games are separated by category. If you have trouble choosing a game or want help learning the rules, they have game gurus who will sit down and help you with the game. I've always found it helpful to learn new games. I ordered the warm pretzel and a Nutella hot chocolate. They were both great especially on a cold day. I've been coming to this location for years and I always have a great time here. I'll definitely come back again once they re-open to try some new board game. read more

This place has a variety of board games options and charge a $8 cover fee per person to access the games. There's a very knowledgeable gentleman there, who helps you find a game and also explains you how to play it with your friends. The food and drink menu does not have a wide variety of options and also the food and coffee here was very basic. I would suggest visiting this place with friends who are really interested to okay for a few hours to fully utilise the cover charge you're expensing. My bill ended up being $32, and I ordered just one main and a shareable (which costed $5 for my share) They charge 15% gratuity if you are a group of 5 or more, which also impacted for bill to be higher. So for Students's on budget, I would suggest get the shareable and just a coffee to stay under $25 per person, because the food isn't that great anyways. Focus on the games!!! read more

Snakes and Lattes is one of the coolest spots I've visited in Toronto! If your date or your friends are into board games, trivia, party games, then this is the place to visit! After paying an entry fee, you are given access to an entire WALL of board games of several types- party games, trivia games, strategy games, RPG style games, and so much more! Just about every card or board game imaginable is here. The service is very kind and welcoming- with several "game masters" patrolling the floor who are extremely knowledgable and help you with any questions you have about the game you're playing. There's trivia nights, as well as daily discounts on drinks depending on which day you visit. A great place to go to spend an evening out! read more

$8/person Minimum $15 spend per person My friends and I came here Saturday afternoon and stayed here til the evening. They were super busy and as expected, the atmosphere was very lively and quite loud. They have many fun board and card games - my favourites were One Night Werewolf and Code Names. For the minimum spend, I got kettle chips and an oat milk latte and both were good. The service was great. read more

I highly recommend Snakes and Lattes as a great two hour diversion or evening out. The best part are the staff. They are incredibly welcoming, happy and helpful. The server recommend a hot tea cocktail called The Duke. It's lavender, Gin, tea and a little sugar. Served in a clear glass, it was refreshing and oddly delicious! The shaken strawberry margarita had a slice of blood orange in it and was uniquely sour for a strawberry margarita. My University of Toronto daughter didn't like it so she gave it to me. I liked it, but nothing in it tasted strawberry. The snack platter was a little disappointing. The pita slices were good but the "fake" tortilla chips looked like pringles. Baby carrots were fine, just the platter was boring. The salsa and dips seemed from a can. The pretzel was dry. 100% it was a frozen bulk pretzel warmed up but made dry. For $7 not worth it. The s'mores shake looked great, but was extremely sweet. The Boozy Banana very sweet. I didn't detect any ice cream. It tasted like whipped cream, a banana, a little caramel an and tiny amount of rum. I'll return but stick to beer and games. Hmmm. Maybe they could have a beer pong contest! read more

Board game selection was good. their pricing system is a scam though. $20 for 3 hours at a table, which they justify with all you can drink items. However, I got a coffee and was charged for it because "it doesn't count under their drink selection". read more

As much as I enjoy playing board games I have not stepped foot into a Snakes & Lattes til recent. Food: I am not vegetarian at heart and had the avocado smash wrap which tasted alright. The highlight for me was the Oreos & Cream milkshake, I would have gotten a second one but had to restrain myself. Service & atmosphere: I still do not know the order of how the humongous selection of games are set up, I prolly need to read other reviews to find out how hehe. The games are sectioned off in categories. There are coloured stickers on the boxes that indicate difficulty level! Service was not bad, I had some games in mind and honestly could not find it on the shelves. If you are not able to find a game they can bring it to you too. And if you somehow know how to maneuver through the shelves and cannot find the game you want and no one has it at their table, they can also look through their inventory at the back! They have so many games that the cafe is unable to shelve them all. During the summer, the AC can be a bit cold and if you plan to stay there for long hours, best to bring a sweater! Price: There is an $8 all you can play fee, prices of food was mid-range. read more

An absolutely amazing place to be with friends and family playing some weirdly different board games that you probably never knew existed or even some Of you favourites when you were younger. The staff is friendly and will show you how to play if you can't figure it. The food is reasonably priced and the cover charge of $8 does not hurt. With a large group from work as a fun event, we had a blast. The crowd was mainly millennials when we went and had some great time with them as well. Would go again for sure! read more

TLDR; If you are into board games, or just fun and good times, you must give this place a try. There aren't a lot of place where I was ecstatic to drop $150 in one night! This cafe works first and foremost because of its people and if any manager from that place reads this, please give your people a raise. Our waiter, Keanu, was fast, helpful, and very sweet. Melissa listened to us, made excellent board game recommendations, and we had such a good time we ended up buying the game we play on the spot and another one to try at home. The atmosphere is relaxed, fun, and it's nice to see people at other tables having a good time with their board game of choices. The selection is truly stellar and their knowledge of the industry is excellent. Finally, the food is actually great and reasonably priced. Their earth burger is delicious, especially if you add avocados, and if you're in the mood for something fresh and with vegetables, the falafel is an excellent recommendation. We also loved the Mac and Cheese, but know that it's seasoned with a jalapeño powder, which may turn some people off. Personally, we found that it cut through the richness of the cheese well, but I understand that it may not be to everyone's taste. read more

Great board game cafe and great food! No reservations at this location. You have to walk in and wait for a table and if you're lucky, you will be seated immediately; however, if they are busy, the wait time can range from 30-40 minutes. Its about a $8 to get access to unlimited games for an unlimited time. Great selection of games and the servers will even explain new games to you if you don't understand how to play it. The service is great as well. Servers are constantly refilling drinks and they even go into detail about the menu which is great. Their menu has a lot of vegetarian and vegan options which are super delicious! The nachos are very flavourful and their chilli tastes so good! You can get it with the nachos, the hot dog, or on its own. Their desserts and drinks are good as well. Overall, the food is amazing but very pricey for a game cafe. read more

THE PERFECT PLACE FOR A DATE OR TO HANG OUT WITH YOUR FRIENDS I LOVED this place - my experience was a definite 5/5! They have such a huge collection of board games to choose from, you could spend here all day and not get bored (there is a time limit though). They have snacks, drinks and brunch options in their menu and you can go there just for the food if you don't want to play. The staff if really amazing - they know all the rules for every game (which is so impressive) and really take their time to explain it to the customers. I think you can go there without a reservation but given how popular the place is - I recommend getting a reservation, just to be safe. Definitely a must try! read more

Yes I've rated it two stars (thanks but no thanks to the gal at front desk). The games collection here is good the only good part of our night. We all understand and know how busy Friday night can get at a fun spot like this. Generally I'm not someone to write a harsh review but unfortunately they had no one in person to convey our message and the staff made our experience was extremely disappointing. The concept is really good and if you're lucky, you might get a better staff to deal with and your experience might be really good. Few pointers for first timers and why I rated 2 stars. 1) They don't take reservations and if you have bigger group (6 or more) then chances of you waiting for couple hours are very high. Also they have no seats in the waiting area. Adding to the disappointment, you can't even order something to drink or bite on while you wait there to get a table. 2) Unfortunately, some of the staff here are too young to handle a busy night and are just not trained enough to manage it smooth. 3) They shut down the expresso machine around 10:55 even though the place is open until 2AM with limited items on the menu. We got the table almost around same time but another untrained server took her own time to come to our table after 11:05 just to say that machine is shut for the day. Anyway we had to get the drip masala tea which came with no sugar, no milk, no stirrer if not asked for it. Jeez..! 4) You've to pay $8 per person to play as much you want. Food charges extra. Nachos with Trio Dip is $13 and it was the WORST salsa , cheese and beans we ever had. 5) The female at the front desk who puts down your name on the list was a friendly but annoyed us the most. If you want to talk funny she will very much respond but when it came to showing her work performance it was down the drain. Taking her job too lightly. Kept giving us illogical explanations as to why we haven't been seated yet if clearly 5-6 tables were available. Extremely stubborn and stupid to be on the front desk. Direct msg to her-You need to go back to training to learn how to effectively manage a busy night here. It might be a fun place to work at but it's not a candy store. We are real customers gal..! Don't do a shitty job. Please..! you completely ruined the night for us. P.S To the management here-Please feel free to contact me if you want more clarification about my review and experience here. I may consider going to some other location of yours instead of this one only bcz of the untrained and unprofessional staff here. We paid bill of $90 for group of 6. read more

Snakes & Lattes Annex - Some part of the Game collection, there's some more on the other side. - Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Always a great time here and definitely a place worthwhile to visit if you are ever visiting Toronto and are in the annex area. There are TONs of boardgames here and they are organized very well across several bookshelves - there is literally a boardgame for everyone and you will definitely find something to your liking. The boardgames are also very well maintained (eg. cards are laminated, boardgame pieces are organized into small bags). The food and drinks here are decent and are reasonably priced. I always end up getting a tea. + The flat fee to play here is $6.00 + Free wifi! + They serve alcohol! Alcohol and boardgames - great combination + They close at midnight most days. They close at 2am on Saturdays read more

First time ever at a board game cafe! Note: There is an $8 cover for each person to have UNLIMITED access to games so it is beneficial to stay here for a bit Drinks: Coffee was good but I was expecting more options for a place called snakes and lattes. It seemed they were pushing more beer than coffee on a Sunday early afternoon Food: Grilled Cheese and soup of the day (tomato) I was surprised how good it was! Definitely tasted more than just a basic grilled cheese and tomato soup Alittle pricey but it is what it is I ended up paying over $60 for two covers, soup/sandwich, a coffee and a beer. Definitely worth it if you are going to stay here a while but it was a good experience. read more

This has always been my fav Snakes & Lattes location. I've always been a big fan of boardgames and so the concept of Snakes & Lattes was really appealing to me. You can rent table time and play boardgames until your hearts content while sharing great food and beverages (coffees & alcohol) with friends. If you are in it for the experience I can't say enough good things. Especially if you and other gamer friends want to check out a game it's a great way to try before buying. The only draw back is that the cost (while reasonable) can also seem a bit high but that's only if you're not considering the experience you're having at this establishment that you might not be able to have at other venues. If you go into it knowing and with that mindset you won't be disappointed especially knowing there's a roving game master there to help. The only other thing I will say is that some of the games are in rough shape. However it's mostly only the boxes on the outside that seem to have been really roughed up most games on the inside are just fine but there are some that have missing pieces so it's best to check your game for all pieces before you start. Other than those two small issues I've had many a great time hanging with friends playing games and not playing games there. read more

Looking for a new cafe but also want to grab a beer? Looking for something to do but not sure what to do? Then Snakes & Lattes is just for you! Snakes & Lattes is a playground for board game enthusiasts for all levels (new comer to experts). The appeal of this place is the wide library of board games that you can choose to play. You can pick your favourite childhood games or be adventurous and try something new. Don't worry if you don't know what to pick, the Game Gurus will be happy to recommend something for you. Game Gurus are very friendly and knowledgeable with many games and will happily teach you the rules of the game. The admission fee is $8 but that allows you unlimited play for as long as you like to stay. You can make a full day out of it or have a few hours of fun for a small fee. Because of this, you will find it extremely busy on weekends and evenings. So be prepared to come ahead of time to put yourself on the wait list. You can step away while you wait and they will text you once a table is available for you. Their food menu is also impressive with various coffees, alcoholic beverages, snacks, meals and decadent desserts. This place is suitable for all ages and fun for hours. read more

Snakes and Lattes - the Board Game cafe. My coworker was asking what this place was. She had lived in Toronto for about 5 years and had never heard of it beforehand. What is it? A place to sit down and play board games for hours and hours. Why? Entertainment, socializing, food, drinks & nostalgia--- Monopoly, Hungry Hungry Hippos, CandyLand, Trivia Pursuit, and much more. Who? - Anyone, any age - one friend, a group of friends, a date night, family members. If you feel shy, the staff are very friendly, knowledgable and helpful. Food and Drinks? - Sandwiches, salads, and finger foods - Alcoholic and Non-Alcoholic (smoothies, coffee, tea) Recommended? YES! Have fun :) read more

My friend and I went to the College location during a short stay in Toronto, and had so much fun we had to come back before flying out. Unfortunately they were closed for an event, so we turned the corner and came here instead. Snacks, friends, and board games for everyone. For a very reasonable price, you get unlimited games for an unlimited time! Food is pretty good too -- both times I got the creme brulee, and both times it was delicious. Servers are super friendly and open to making recommendations. We chatted with ours about games we like, and even though we were checking out he took the time to explain a game that we're now going to have to keep on our radar for next time. We both really wish we had equivalents to places like this near our home cities. I know for sure I'd be a regular if I had one nearby! read more

Snakes & Lattes Annex - My friend and I went to the College location during a short vacation in Toronto, and had so much fun we wanted to come back before leaving! - Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Great place to visit if you are looking for a fun night with friends. The game selection is huge and you won't have any trouble tracking down the game of your choice. There are two rooms of tables so you will probably get a spot within no time. We came on a Saturday night and was able to get a spot right away (this was at midnight though). The food is okay nothing too special. The nachos I ordered was missing some flavour and would've been tastier with some cheese on top. Not holding this against Snakes and Lattes though as this isn't a restaurant. Prices are pretty reasonable and comparable to other board game shops around Toronto. We paid $8 per person for unlimited game times and maybe another $10 per person for food and snacks. read more

I had heard about this spot for quite some time. I always wanted to go check it but something always came up. So I made it a point to lock down an evening, and here I was enroute! Boy, was it a disappointment. Upon arrival, I waited a couple minutes to be seating - no big deal. But once I was sat, my guest and I realized that we had got lost in conversation and had been sitting there for a good ten minutes without being helped. If we had not been first-timers, we may have gone about our jolly way to pick out a game to play. Instead, we sat there waiting for our server as it full-service restaurant. Growing impatient after about fifteen minutes, we wave down a server that is walking by. Instead of helping us or apologizing, she simply says she will go grab our server. Clearly no team work going on here... I wish I could tell you the gentleman's name who ended up coming over, but he never introduced himself. Again, there was no apology, just a "what can I get you two?". We order a drink and ask him how the place is run - we tell him it's our first time. Humbled under his breath, he points to the back saying we can pick any game from any shelf in the place and that it's five dollars for unlimited play per head. Great! He scurries away. My guest and I pick a couple games and go head to head! Another 15 minutes later our returns with our drinks. My company and I both joke to one another that we should have ordered two drinks at once with how slow the service was. Thank goodness for the game and good company!!! I order a caesar salad and another drink. My food come out before our drink. Not shocking at this point. In sum, I actually had a fun time playing the games. This is definitely not a place you'd come for good service or food, but I did really enjoy the concept which is why I gave it three stars. It's a place you can learn new games and share lots of laughs and enjoy good company. It is too bad though, because the concept has such great potential. If they could create a similar spot with better service and even a more clean decor, it'd be game over! ;) All and all, I'm in no rush to head back. read more

Came to snakes and lattes over the weekend with some friends to play Catan. Even though by the time we visited it was almost midnight, the place was still quite lively, and did get us in the mood for some games as soon as we stepped in. Along with he games, we also ordered a few snacks. I went for an ice cream sandwich, which was super delicious! Ended up splitting it with one of my friends since the portion was definitely quite generous. While we are on the topic of food, we may want to cover drinks as well. While I think the atmosphere at this location is not as "unique" as other board game cafes, I do love the fact that they serve booze! After all, games only get more interesting after the third or fourth beer (ah ah). Only remark I have is that our Catan board was probably wrong . . .Somehow the game "set up" must have gotten switched with another game, which ended up giving me an unfair advantage. It was fun for me, but my friends did not enjoy this too much! I would recommend checking it out to see if it can be fixed. read more

Not my first time here but my first review for this place. I would say that Ive come here once every other month for the past two years and I've never had a bad experience. My friends and I love to play board games so we're the type of group that can spend up to 6 hours here. What's great about this cafe is pretty much everything. And it's gotten better as the years have passed. The base price for playing is 6$. With that you can play as long as you want. They also have a great menu. I suggest the macaroni and cheese or the quesadilla. The chips and dip to share is good too if you're with a group of people. The drink menu has a great variety as well ranging from Italian sodas to beer to tea to milkshakes. This time that I went I got something new and I ordered a milkshake and a bowl of gummies to share for the table. Both great options if you just want a snack. The selection of board games is endless. Every time we go we play some new games, some old ones. A friend of mine is even working on her own game collection so she often buys a game there from the selection they have to offer. I think this is awesome because the game playing can extend into our own homes. If you want a good laugh play the game lift it. The vibe is great, it's always packed. If you go on a weekend or something you might have to wait. But there's a lot to do and eat in the area if that's the case. The servers are always helpful. I've gotten the server names yoda like 4 times now and he's awesome! Not sure if that's his real name though. I'm gonna ask him next time. read more

What a great place! Seriously wish we had a cafe like this in the Chicago area. Came in with my mother/sister in law on a Friday night and there was a 45 minute wait. We walked around the neighborhood for a bit and came back to check out their selection of games for sale. Solid selection of games to take home, wish I had more room in my suitcase. For $6 per person, you can hang out and play games from their extension selection. There's a wide array of different games and genres. The food and snacks here are also ideal for gaming. Craft beer on tap, yummy desserts, and snacks ideal for the setting. Only concern was the condition of some of the games we played. The copy of Sequence was almost to the point where we felt gross touching the cards. I know it's hard to keep everything up to date, but Sequence needs a replacement. read more

They have so many games that you get lost and donot know what to play, lucky they have people around which can guide you. I mainly played battle field as I love the game and was fun most pices were present and all was good. Ordered a hot chocolate since playing board games made me feel like a kid as I donot play much.

Spent a lovely weekday afternoon here with a friend. I ordered the nutella latte and it was delicious. Strong chocolate and nutty flavours. But we're not here to review the food or drinks... The staff are great at recommending new games to try. We asked for some strategy games for 2 players, and our waitress came through! She brought 4 different games to our table, and briefly walked us through each game. Once we picked the one we wanted to try first, she then proceeded to explain the rules and teach us how to play. We discovered that it was missing a piece about halfway through the game, and she quickly replaced it for us. Once we were done, she taught us how to play the next game. Maybe it was because we went on a weekday afternoon and it wasn't as busy, but the service here is top notch. The staff are so friendly and very knowledgable, so don't be afraid to ask for recommendations! The atmosphere is very welcoming and friendly. Definitely a great spot to hang out. read more

We have been coming to this location the past two years and while there is often a wait, it is nice that they take your cell number and text you when a table is ready! If you are lucky, you won't have to wait at all (which only happened to us once, ever). The games are fun and there is a big variety; however, it kind of sucks when you get a game out, set it up and go through all that, only to then find that there are missing pieces. I know that many people play the games on a daily basis and the staff do a diligent job ensuring that the board games are in decent condition; however, we came across this situation twice the last time we were at this location. Perhaps they need to improve quality control? Nevertheless, the "game advisors" were very helpful and friendly. The drinks are decent; however, with it being one of the coldest winters in Canada for the past few years, it would have been nice if our drinks were hot, rather than lukewarm. 4 stars for variety of games, atmosphere and service. 3 stars for food and beverages. read more

I was extremely dissatisfied with the service here. You would think that at a board game cafe where you need table space to play games that the servers might come around at least once every hour to check on the tables/clear dishes. We resorted to clearing all of our own dishes onto a near-by window ledge. After 90 minutes of having our dishes stacked on the window ledge, a different server from another table cleared our dishes from the window ledge. Additionally to this, we were not informed of the 8$ admission price, nor were we informed that we would be charged 18% gratuity for our 4 person table! I think that our server new she forgot about us and didn't want a table not tipping them, so they added the gratuity, because I have never heard of gratuity on a 4 person table. I was shocked when we got our bills. Lastly, one of my friends had ordered desert and after 45 minutes he asked a different server for an update on the dish, and she brought it out 15 minutes later and the desert was still half frozen. read more

Snakes & Lattes Annex - Tea anyone? - Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

If you haven't heard, Snakes & Lattes is Toronto's first board-game cafe with the simple premise of offering good coffee, sweets and sandwiches in a friendly, social environment galvanized by the fun, competitive and strategic play of board games. Snakes and Latte's opened all of six days ago. I visited today (Sunday) for the first time and was met with standing-room only floor space and a 10 minute wait for a table. I spent brief wait sipping on a delicious coffee and browsing the ridiculously comprehensive selection of games lining a 40 foot section of wall from floor to ceiling - and yes they have (insert board game name here) that game too. Face-to-screen video games like Rock Band and Mario Party are so 2000 - in 2010 the face-to-face, hands-on interaction of board games, combined with the nostalgia many associate with certain titles from their youth is fueling their comeback in a big way. Based on the smiling faces and room-wide chatter of friends and strangers interacting seamlessly in this brand new space, I'd say the time is ripe for this sort of a business. If you have even a moderate interest in games you should check this place out, if you are a gamer at heart, beware as you will find yourself pleasantly overwhelmed by the possibilities of whiling away hours gaming and making new friends. First date? Make it Snakes and Lattes for the original, fun and interactive possibilities and your date will surely be impressed. Oh by the way, the Liquor License Application in the from window means that this place is only going to get better - drinking Catan anyone? UPDATE!! Liquor License Approved: "Sleeman, Hoegaarden, Desperados, Corona, Smirnoff Ice, Woody's....and Board Games." -@snakesandlattes twitter feed read more
