    This place has a great vibe and aesthetic inside. The bathrooms are down the stairs and they have a whole game room in a big bault. Each game is seven dollars per person or you can bring your own for free. We got a few appetizers that were really great and we also got coffee. The coffee was okay- I wouldn't recommend it. Our service was great and the place was really big inside. parking is just on the street. Would love to come back !!

    It's always a good time when I've come here. A TON of games, the drinks and food are good and they have coffee all night! Can't go wrong here for a date or a friends outing. We always find something new to play. Also a great place to meet new people if you're alone, everyone's chill

    What a great spot! I'm a huge gamer, and I love tabletop games, so when I had the chance to check this place out with some friends I was super excited. The ambiance is fun - designed with decor to feel like a castle/fantasy place, with tables large enough to accommodate games. The centerpiece is the game vault. Walking into it was really cool, seeing all of the games organized by categories, and getting to chat with their game experts was helpful for learning about new games that would work for our group size. Part of the $7 per person game charge is that it covers having one of the game experts come over and get the group started on their game - reading through rule books is often the most laborious part of setting up and getting going with a new game, so having someone be able to skip that part and get us right into game play was worth it. The menu is a bit lacking. It's basically bar food, and the drinks are centered around alcohol (which I get, large profit margin). If you have some niche dietary requirements you may struggle here, I'd recommend looking over the menu before deciding if you want to plan to eat here. I can say the coffee is tasty, my partner had tea and enjoyed it, but if you're also not a drinker there isn't a whole lot for you, either. The food I did get (pretzel bites and a flatbread) was solid, so no complaints there from me. All in all, I do plan to go back sooner than later - it was great for finding new games!

    Visiting from out of state and was very excited to see there was a Snakes and Lattes here after stumbling across one in Arizona. The staff was kind, attentive and overall very helpful. There person working the Game Vault while we were there was fun to talk to, knowledgable and overall seemed excited about games. The atmosphere was nice and honestly we would have stayed longer IF there was a vegan option for food (I don't mean just a vegan burger without the bun) It sounds like the menu had just recently changed and the offerings were just not great at all for varying food preferences/restrictions. *Sad to say but don't go here if you are vegan and want something to eat.

    I have to write about the mac and cheese, that dish truly wrecked my experience here. It's a really cool vibe and all the other food was good, the cookie with ice cream was great and the sweet potato fries were nice!!! The general vibe is cool as well and the selection of games was crazy looking! Our server was really pleasant and overall had a good time. But the mac and cheese was really watery and I couldn't eat it.

    Wtf is this mac and cheese. It was like cheese water noodles with some extra cheese melted on top. It looked good until you actually tried stirring it, we were actually grossed out. Fries were good and the concept is really cool. The decor is super immersive and there's a great game selection. But wtf. It was so bad. Had a stomach ache afterwards.

    Snakes and Lattes was so fun! I love the concept - a spot that not only has a wide range of board games to play but also drinks and food. The prices are also reasonable, paying $7 per person for the game pass and if you'd like a bite or something to drink, it won't cost you an arm and a leg. One thing that stood out to me was their little shop where you can actually purchase brand new board games if you liked one that you tried. We did a walk-in late afternoon but you can also make reservations online. I got a Cinnamon Bun Latte which was really good! The games are in a little room that looked like a library. It was super cute and they had such a wide variety of games from your classic ones to new ones. The nice part is, if you get overwhelmed, there is also a "game librarian" who can help you pick one out based on what you like. We played 2 classic board games and got the chance to try 3 new ones! This is also a great spot to try out board games before committing to buying them. I'm looking forward to coming back with friends!

    As someone who loves board games, this is the perfect spot for a casual hangout with friends. It's only $7 per person and you have access to so many games and I appreciated how organized they all were. The service was also good too and I liked how you can split the tab easily if you have a big group. However the food was so bad. We came around 6 pm on a Sunday night only to find that most things on the food menu were unavailable. The Caesar salad tasted like it was from a salad kit in the grocery store and the crispy chicken sandwich didn't look like the pictures and tasted burnt. The sweet potato fries were also soggy. I would come here for the experience but skip the food and eat at home or order food from another place.

    Sandwiches were good, super casual place where it's easy to bring a laptop or book to work or study so may be hard finding a spot to sit.

Games- The games are organized alphabetically with featured shelves for two players games and Hispanic artists because this is Hispanic Heritage month. Food- I ordered the house special sandwich, a Jabanito. On this sandwich, the buns are replaced with tostones. It was an average size sandwich cut in half containing a decent amount of lettuce, tomatoes, and meat. I felt the sauce was on the lighter side as some bites would have sauce, but not consistent throughout. Additionally, the cheese on the sandwich was an American single, which did not fit the flavor profile.

The owner, Eli, told me that they are handling their own food service now (apparently they used to contract with other purveyors). It is a very small menu (food being not the focus of the place) but I was delighted to see that 2 out of five of the mains were vegetarian (1 was grilled cheese, I don't remember what the other was). With my prodding (haranguing) he told me the entire history of the place (fascinating, at least to me). Ok, no more parentheses! From the outside it doesn't look like much, not the kind of cafe we would frequent. My opinion did not change upon entering, it's not your typical espresso bar. However, I was drawn in by not only the aroma but also Eli's friendly greeting. When my husband joined me inside we continued the conversation talking about all different games, Eli definitely knows his stuff and he's just a really nice guy. We didn't eat or play games. We did purchase a game to play at home. My husband had an espresso which he said was just ok. So glad that our search for an espresso brought us to Eli's place. Looking forward to going back!
