Great food

I nipped in and had a delicious strawberry milkshake and could pick what milk I wanted. I had a vegan peri chicken pizza that was spicy and flavourful. Definitely a must visit!

Great spot for cake

Lovely place for a drink and cake. All the cakes were vegan when I went and there was a good selection. They do plant milk for coffee as well. The smoothie was really tasty and fresh.

Lovely little cafe

I've been here a few times for game events. The cafe has a nice vibe. It can get crowded as it's been full almost every time I have been here. It's a little loud when it's full, but that's part of the experience. It's definitely worth booking a table as I've seen them turn people away if they're booked out for the afternoon. There are a couple of small tables outside. I'm not sure if you can play games at those tables because I wouldn't trust the weather to hold!

They have a decent selection of drinks and cakes. There isn't a huge selection of savory meals and the portion size is closer to brunch/light lunch than dinner sized. What I've had has been nice. Their hot chocolate is excellent, if a bit too sweet for some people's tastes.

The staff are lovely. They're willing to give game recommendations and to help you understand how to play them. They have a massive games library and there should be something there to please everyone.

Pros: Has gluten free options, Gender neutral bathroom, Staff are lovely

Cons: Feels crowded, Portion size could be bigger

Amazing boardgames cafe with excellent vegan food.

Goodtime Games is a tabletop boardgames cafe that has lots of excellent vegan food. Come for the food, stay for the boardgames. Really cheap food, and they charge by the half hour for playing the boardgames but it's very affordable.

Great food, games and atmosphere

We've come here a few times now and can't recommend it enough. Plenty of vegan options on the menu (in fact pretty much all of it is vegan), lots of different vegan milks for drinks and - bonus - it's dog friendly. The smoothies and coconut lattes are to die for and the paninis and bubble waffles are delish. The board games selection is also really impressive and the time absolutely flies by as you play - could spend all day there. The staff are also super friendly and helpful, and there's street parking everywhere so it's easy to get to. 5/5
