Great place for breakfast/brunch, too, despite some online info not showing that part of their menu. Chill staff and accommodating to reserving a table for our group. Large helpings and good food and huge selection of drinks. read more

Don't get the matcha latte -- it had no flavor and just tasted like milk. I mentioned this to our server, and while she initially offered to remake it, when I said it might turn out the same, she simply said "okay," took the drink, and walked away. There was no replacement, no refund, and no follow-up. I also emailed about the experience and never received a response, even after a week. Really disappointing customer service. The food was good, and they have a great selection of games, which is the only reason this isn't a 1-star review. read more

A lot pricey for what they're offering. Their trivia night is badly paced, badly ran (think questions that aren't read correctly leading to wrong answers and then just objectively wrong answers). Food is just okay - looks much better than it tastes, tbh. The whole vibe should be fun and it's just...not. The staff were hustling their butts off and provided generally decent service but that doesn't make up for the lackluster rest of the evening. read more

What a great place! I went there solo and still enjoyed my time. They weren't as busy the day I went but still took long to get my food to me... that's the only reason I'm giving it a 4 star. Staff members were friendly, food and drinks were good too. Ambiance was great. Bathroom was pretty clean too. read more

Snakes & Lattes is a great place to grab a bite, play a game, or attend one of their special events. I've been numerous times for trivia events and most recently a puzzle murder mystery event. Prices are reasonable, drinks and food are good, and the staff are always friendly. They have a big variety of games to play, there is comfortable seating and clean bathrooms. I've tried a number of different things on the menu. If you want bar food, the Mexican street corn dip, cheesy bread and tater tots are winners. If you're looking for more of a meal that won't kill the diet, I recommend the chicken adobo bowl. I've had their chai latte and mocktails, both of which were good. I don't drink coffee but my friend does and he has always enjoyed their coffee drinks. If you go, parking is pretty easy and affordable at the Tyndall Garage and being so close to the U of A there are always people around at night so it doesn't feel creepy if you need to walk to the garage by yourself. read more

Snakes & Lattes Tucson is our family's favorite hangout spot--especially for my son! He always asks to go. The atmosphere is fun, welcoming, and perfect for families. We love the huge selection of games. One of our favorite things? The soft pretzels! They're warm and perfectly salted. And the cold brew flight! So good!! Whether we're stopping by for a quick bite or settling in for a few hours of board games, we always have a great time. Highly recommended for families, game lovers, and anyone looking for a unique, fun place to spend time together. read more

This is a perfect cozy space to play games, meet new friends and sip on an excellent flight of cold brew coffee served by friendly staff. read more

First time. Decor was definitely a vibe. It was cozy. I love the fact that you can eat, drink (if you drink alcohol Or coffee) and play games at the same time have fun. The waiters who helped us was nice and helpful. The food was good. It was the end of the evening so I think next time I want to go at a different time. But I do recommend trying this place out. read more

What was great: Food, vibes, prices... Room for improvement: Service, service, service... It's the kind of place that had one person working on a Monday morning doing host, server, bar, and everything else duty. And she was polite but not bubbly or friendly. Ordering and paying is all via QR code/app. It is but isn't convenient, you know? My kid didn't want cheese on his breakfast sandwich but that wasn't an option in the app. Overheard another table with a simple request that wasn't app-friendly. I watched a couple walk in, and stand at the front door for a few minutes. They almost walked out before finally being welcomed in. At most, there were only three tables occupied so it's not like they were slammed. Anyway, the food was very generous portions and quality/delicious. Better value than the hotel buffet by far. Glad we went, but expected a touch better service. read more

Really cute place near campus. Seems like a great hang out, date, or study spot. Not a quick service spot, so don't go if you're on a tight schedule. But it's definitely a great spot to hang out and kill time. It's a really cute concept. Food, beverages, games. Chill. Love it. My niece said it was a good place to relax or a good place to study, depending on the night. Clean. Cute decor. Soup was good. Hearty grilled cheese. Husband liked his latte. Good walking distance to and from Centennial for graduation ceremony. read more

Very gross and expensive coffee. I ordered a coffee with a pump of vanilla and I waited 20-30 minutes to receive it because they didn't notify me when it was ready. It tasted like burnt, unflavored brown water. I couldn't even finish it! read more

It could be a really good place, but the food is just not great. You can only order through your phone/or code which has limits for customization. The food was, with few exceptions, overcooked. Our pizza was strangely watery and burnt. The chocolate lava cake was crunchy and nearly devoid of lava. We will not be returning. read more

This place has been on my TikTok bucket list for the past year! I am so glad I was finally able to make it here! My 16 year old son came with me. The waitress asked if we were familiar to which I quickly said no. She took her time answering any questions and explaining how it all works. Easy ordering right on your phone. The food came out in good time. The restaurant was very clean. The game area is meticulous! A man came and introduced himself as being the "Game librarian" and if we had questions to let him know! The games are alphabetical as well as by theme if you will. Its $5 per person to play unless you bring your own games. I have created my own tiktok on the place and spoke to all my friends about it--planning on doing a group of us one evening in the near future. This place is so neat! read more

Fun concept with all the board games. I made a Sunday 11:30 a.m. OpenTable reservation, thinking it would be packed. Upon arrival the place was empty, only 2 other tables with customers. Very open feel, tables spread apart, seemed very clean. The menu is an order & pay on your phone which I've only experienced once at another restaurant. LOL, for us "old-timers" it took awhile to get everyone's order in. We ordered Bloody Mary's, Cheeseburger, French Toast and the Classic Breakfast. The young man that delivered all the food was extremely nice, checked up on us regularly. The food was good. My bad in the order and pay to request on extra notes: salt around the rim of the Bloody Mary and medium rare on the burger that was well done. I assume, since this restaurant is on the main drag of the U of A Campus this place must be packed at night with the college students. I'm glad I tried it. Atmosphere: big, open, clean, board game fun. Food: good. Service: phone order and pay. read more

We went to play some board games on a Saturday. The back tables are reserved for weekly board gamers. Its $5 per person to play unless you bring your own games. They have snacks and drinks. They want you to order on their app even though the server was standing right in front of us. The nachos were good, the chips were deep fried, minimal cheese with a blob of sour cream. The Mac and cheese was a pass, they had no taste. It's a nice place to game, it's bright and clean, but I wished the tables were longer. read more

Such a cool concept for a place. You can eat, drink and play board games. Their coffee is pretty good and so was the food. It's a great place to meet up with friends for coffee and games or cocktails and games. This place has a great vibe and the "Game Master" was very nice. . *Tip: They have games to borrow, but they also sell some of the same games. If you're going with a larger group, it's cheaper to chip in and buy a game. It's $5 per person to play the games if you use the ones that remain there. Many of us weren't aware of the $5 charge. read more

This is such a nice spot!!! The inside is very nicely decorated and welcoming. The ceilings are high and tables are nicely spread out which gives plenty of space for different parties. We went on a Friday night and had a great time playing different board and card games... they have SO many to choose from. A really nice collection of the classics for all ages as well as more niche mystery or adventure ones. This is my favorite game place in Tucson! We weren't too hungry, so decided to split the churros which came out great! Ordering is super easy because you can do it from your phone after you scan a barcode on the table. I would recommend this spot as it's a great place to catch up with family or friends in a relaxed yet vibrant environment! read more

This was a neat place, first time in and if was moderately busy but not too loud. Several dirty tables though. Sit anywhere, $5 game fee, they brought us some water and told us how everything works.

Hangover burger absolutely satisfied both hunger and appetite after a niight of dancing. Definitely a big portion and juicy! I decided on fries instead of the breakfast potatoes which were perfectly crisp yet tender. The ceasar salad could've had more umami but was still delicious. read more

Did I really just pay 13 dollars for a Ceasar salad with its lettuce, parmesan cheese, croutons and salad dressing? Ashamedly yes. I would have thought that the salad would have had a lot more of it or would have at least had some hand shaved parmesan cheese on it given the price but alas it didn't. Those 6 croutons did not make up for that price tag. If I had been in store maybe the games and environment would have made up for the cost, but having a 13 dollar price tag for a average take out caesar salad did not impress. I'll have to check out their store in person to see if things are different there but no high expectations at this point. read more

I have been waiting for over a year for Snakes and Lattes to open and am so glad it finally has! It's a space where you can order food, drinks from the bar, and Presta Coffee. Their staff was friendly and the food was really good. Since they're a chain with locations in Tempe and Canada I wasn't sure how the food quality would be but I was pleasantly surprised. I would say their food prices are a bit high for Tucson and the seats/booths weren't comfortable enough for hours of playing games. When the food is higher priced and you add a a $5 game fee per person, plus drinks (even non-alcoholic).. it can add up quickly. It would be nice if the game fee was waived with a minimum food spend per person. The prices could very much be because of their location on University Blvd. They do have a good price on Presta coffee though! On weekend nights and as they get busier in the fall they will have a "game master" on staff to help you learn to play new games. It's nice to know if you take on a game you've never seen before someone friendly can help you and your group figure it out. Overall, Snakes and Lattes is a wonderful addition to the University area but the prices would lead me to probably just playing games and drinking a coffee next time. read more

Atmosphere was very nice and liked the board games theme. A blonde haired employee was not very welcoming when we had walked in and didn't make eye contact or greet us. She noticed we were standing for a bit and simply told us to "sit anywhere". As far as the food, I'm not a believer in tipping before the food arrives at a sit down restaurant. Rather, I like to have the option of leaving a cash tip at the end. I'm not sure if the servers had noticed this when I placed my order because I felt this amped up the passive aggressive attitude from that same server. She tossed my water and my coffee on the table and it caught the attention of everyone in my group. I had ordered the Chicken Adobo Bowl and the rice was severely undercooked and crunchy. I know better than to try to send it back so once my party was done we politely left. Overall not the best experience and I had no interest in returning. read more

We had flown into Tucson to watch the OSU vs UA football game and had about an hour to kill. We stumbled on to Snakes & Lattes to grab a quick snack. My husband and I split the veggie hummus wrap and sweet potato fries, he ordered a black coffee and I ordered my usual iced chai with oat milk. Service was extremely fast and staff so friendly and talkative. She offered lots of menu recommendations as she asked if it was the first time we came to the restaurant and it was. The wrap was a perfect shareable with yummy hummus and vegetables and the sweet potato fries were crispy on the outside, flavorful and not greasy. I was so hungry I forgot to take a photo lol! They have games you can play for $5 per person. While we were there, 5 groups of friends were just meeting to play games for the afternoon. The waitress shared that they would stay for 4 or 5 hours playing board games. What a fun concept! read more

Here's the issue with this place the few times I have gone in they have horrible customer service. This last visit topped it off, I will never go back. We drove 20 minutes to get latte and arrived 45 minutes before posted closing time. There was one table eating and when were walked they said they were closed. I mentioned the sign on door said they were still open. They said they were closing early. The entire staff was just standing around the bar doing nothing. They could easily made the latte. read more

Food was high priced for small portions, trivia was rigged as they marked a correct answer wrong.

I've been to Snakes & Lattes Tucson three times now and have never been disappointed with the food! The quality is excellent. It is true, as others have mentioned, that the food is on the costlier side. However, everything I've had from the menu has been delicious. So far I've tried the biscuits and gravy, the chips and queso, the cheeseburger, the mini chocolate mousse, the strawberry basil tart, the charcuterie, and a couple of items that are no longer on the menu so I won't make you jealous by naming them, ha. The staff is friendly and happy to answer any questions about specific ingredients. The games are plentiful and there is something for everyone. The music is a bit loud most of the time so I haven't gone to do work on my computer, but it's perfect for a bite to eat or hanging out with friends. I hope to return again and again! read more

We tried out this new place mixing restaurant and board games hang out. Pretty good concept. They do charge $5/person to play any of their numerous games. The service was good.

My coworkers and I have been curious about this new spot on university blvd and let me tell you we were all super surprised on how AMAZING THE FOOD WAS. We got shareable appetizers and we had their peach black tea. Everything was so good but the MVP of the entire meal was the nacho queso. Omg we all thought it was delicious and wanted more of it so we ordered tater tots (did not get to snap a picture because we all ate it too fast) with cheese on top and we had no regrets. I would highly suggest having food here. It does cost 5 dollars to play their board games but the variety of board games they have is so impressive! Highly recommend coming here. We will be coming back! read more

For 10 min, I couldn't figure out why the waitress was ignoring everyone... then somebody had asked about menus and she said to scan a QR code... which was very hard to notice.

Family time at Snakes & Lattes, what could better? Maybe date night, I'll try that next. We were greeted immediately by the hostess when we walked in. We got to our table and soon after received a visit by the game guru. Our teen boys were off the game corner with Jack to decide what to play. We ordered food before starting our game. Food was amazing. Some of the best French fries I've ever had! Our family had a wonderful evening. The restaurant is very welcoming with get decorations and beautiful paintings on the wall. So busy playing games we forgot to snap pictures of the delicious food.Can't wait to go back! read more

If you're looking for a fun time with good food, this is the place! I went with my friends to check it out and we ended up spending almost 3 hours there. We ordered the crispy chicken bowl and cheeseburger. I expected the chicken bowl to have a sauce for the noodles, they were pretty plain without it. The chicken was great though. My friend who got the cheeseburger said it was amazing. I also ordered the rum punch, which I think was a bit expensive for what I got. We played the game Pandemic and were obsessed. It was nice to not be on any time limit (once you pay the $5 to play games, you can play any game for any time period) and playing + eating combo is a perfect match. I do hope they can get coasters sometime, the sweat from the water and cocktails was always getting in the way of the game. Great place to go with long time friends or to get to know people you just met! read more
