Review: I think this cafe is a really cute place. Just generally I like the fact that it is a nice place to hang out, other than the stereotypical "Lets go to the Mall", "Lets go to the Movies" or "Lets go to a restaurant for lunch". Although it is a cafe which serves food, I think what attracts people to this place is the fact that it gives a little friendly competition through board games. Just generally, our generation is so overly obsessed with technology that they do not always take time to embrace the fun in things not associated with technology. Furthermore, this place doe not have free wifi, which gives people the opportunity to push aside technology which isolates us from those around us, and gives everyone an opportunity to communicate and interact face-to-face instead of texting or playing a game online with someone. I think this is brilliant. Since they are new, though, they do not have a huge variety of games. Unfortunately, Adam and I were disappointed to not see Battleship there, because that is what we were most excited for. But nevertheless, we did learn two new games that day, which was nice, as well. The specialty drinks were presented beautifully and tasted good. I've had better Italian soda before but oh well. Next time, we'll more certainly order food to try it out! What they don't tell you, though, is that there is a $10 order minimum per person. We were not told of this, and at check-out the lady just told us that next time we will need to do that. Generally, though, it is a nice atmosphere and a fun place to kill a couple hours.

Review: This place is very enjoyable, although there is a catch that you do not find out until the end of your time there and it makes you feel embarrassed. The catch is that you have to spend more then $10 per person to compensate for being able to play board games. We did not find this out until later, which didn't impress me. The drink was alright, personally i have had better hot chocolates at other places. At the bottom of the hot chocolate, I found all of the powder, which i found a bit gross. The games are common board games like "Mad Gab", but there are also some there that i have never heard of. They seem a bit interesting. I would like to go back to this place when i get the chance. It was a lot of fun.
