My partner and I spent many a happy afternoon cozied up in Another Round on rainy days, and…read moreabsolutely love this place. It has spacious tables of varying sizes, so you come as a duo or as a larger group, there are a ton of games on offer that range from shorter game plays to much longer campaigns, the staff are kind, the prices are fair, and the drinks are phenomenal. They also offer both coffee and alcohol, depending on what time of day it is / what you're in the mood for. Also, their smokey orange latte with black sea salt is one of the best coffee drinks I've ever had. This is the perfect place to kill anywhere from 1-4 hours, whether you're looking for something to do on a lazy afternoon or waiting for a reservation at a nearby restaurant. We've since moved out of Portland, but will definitely be returning the next time we visit.

Amazing staff, great location, wonderful message. I have never had a dull moment here. I come to…read morestudy, draw, and just hang out. Plenty of clean bathrooms. And an amazing latte. The Smokey Orange latte is made with peeled orange rinds, you can sometimes catch a glimpse of the prep and it is always so wonderful to see. I have had the privilege of drinking several in this lifetime. I get it warm with oat milk and it is seriously one of a kind. Such a great place, can't thank you guys enough.

Stopped in Owlbear's rest early Sunday morning to check off yet another coffee option near us. They…read morehave created a beautiful space that is well decorated and welcoming to all. Many plants were around was an added plus too. Due to showing up so early, especially on Easter meant no one else was there but I assume it turns into a very popular spot at certain times/days. They have many different games available to play as well. As well as host different events that you can check their socials or website to see whole months worth of events. They have a good variety of food and drink offerings as well to help power you through your gaming session or as a grab and go option too. I grabbed an iced vanilla latte while my wife got the lavender iced latte. For some small bites I grabbed a chocolate chip scone and my wife got an everything sour cream scone. The staff asked if we wanted them warmed up with butter which was a great option! A perfect bite to pair with our drinks. Neither my wife or I are really much of gamers in the sense of tabletop games. If you are a fan of that style of games or want to dip your feet in this would be the ideal spot for that. They also had puzzles and board games available for sale as well as puzzle and book exchange too. Check this place out!

So much easy, free parking in their huge shared lot. 2. There's a Starbucks-adjacent cafe. NOTE: it's NOT actually Starbucks though, so you can't order ahead or pay with your app. Just a heads-up! The cafe portion of the bookstore is spacious and clean, with the tables themselves also being spaced quite far apart from one another. It creates a real sense of privacy no matter where you sit! 3. The atmosphere/layout here is very modern and inviting; the selection itself is enormous. Genres are clearly labeled, and there's a tremendous amount of content available no matter what you're looking for (so be prepared to spend some time here wandering around and taking it all in... then you'll probably have to come back, because there's no way you'll actually be able to take it all in on the first visit!). They've got new releases, popular books, recommendations, board games, and more. And, of course, the random armchair for you to sit and peruse your possible purchase. Obviously, support local first. But if you're looking for a slow-paced, wide open, very quiet, very tidy spot to spend a little bit of time (without feeling rushed or forced to purchase something) finding your next favorite read, I'd suggest visiting here!

Before this store became BAM it was Borders, I have been shoooort I got here forever. My children are pretty much grown now (18 & 20) but this was my go to entertainment spot. They used to have a story hour. They had events several times a month. Themed of course, lego events, Dr Seuss Bday event and of course Harry Potter. Book signings are always fun. Now back to Heidi. She has been the one constant at this location. She knows my children by name. Would always check in on them when we were shopping. My daughter loves her. She over heard my daughter and I talking once around the holidays a few years back and as we were leaving the store she stopped us with a bag for my daughter! She over heard my daughter say she liked a HP scarf. It was in the bag with a happy holiday! They are always well stocked, staff is friendly, and I it is a great meet up pot for a cup of tea with a friend!
