Amazing have lots of board games and TCG packs to buy. Love their deal where you can play unlimited board games from their library. Great place to hang out and enjoy their food and drinks

Recently found this gem and absolutely love it! Board game cafe with a huge selection!! Can pay $5 to play or just order from their menu. I love the atmosphere of it and there are some people who come to study (although it can get kind of loud so probably not the best). Probably a dozen or so parking spaces but haven't had trouble finding parking when coming over.

This is my favorite cafe in Houston to spend time with friends! What truly makes this place special is the atmosphere and space for activities that they've created here! The coffee and food are good but nothing to write home about but I have no problem supporting them because of their hospitality There are close to a hundred board games for visitors to use and the community takes good care of them. The few games with pieces missing are noted appropriately so you know before playing. They have plenty of community events and a lot of groups meet here. I've seen all kinds of people here and it's a family friendly place. If you do come please make sure to buy something so that we can keep this place in business!

The Coral Sword has an amazing space and fun vibe. I the coffee and excellent service :)

Looooove this place! The vibe is so chill and the baristas are always super cool. The drinks are also so good and reasonably priced.

Super cute little spot my friend took me here in Houston. I love that it's a boardgame Cafe and you can sit for hours playing. The food and drinks are limited but are really good. I had a nitro Thai iced tea with a shot of espresso and it was delicious. It was light and refreshing. For food I ordered the egg sandwich which was more like a snack. It wasn't heavy and I think the bread overpowered the egg. They have a ton of games you can pick up and play. You don't have to bring your own. They also host magic the gathering events. Which my friend goes to a lot. Fun fact: favorite boardgame is Wingspan!

Cool vibe. I really liked the decor, the chill nature, the games, and the staff was very friendly. Nice size menu with cool choices. I really liked the iced teas they offered. I had the peach tea with honey. So so good. All in all, I'll be back to try more things.

Another cool coffee spot in East Houston? Yup. Good selection of drinks at great prices. Even moreso, a number of gaming options if you are interested and lots of interior space to play. The interior decor was very fun, a great environment for tabletop gamers. I will definitely be back.

Awesome spot. It seems like more of a social place since their focus is board games. Personally, I'd probably go to a quieter coffee shop if I wanted to do solo work or reading. But that's just me! Great chai latte (get the cinnamon on top). Btw, they sell beer in addition to coffee/tea/snacks. I came here for a drawing meet-up (Houston Drink and Draw meets here regularly) but it's obviously a spot for gaming. I believe they have a shelf of games available for play as well as a shelf with games for sale. It's fantastic and much appreciated that they host meet-ups here as well. Parking is a bit tricky. There are a couple spots in the front and a small/tight lot in the back. I came here at 5pm on a Saturday and all those spots were taken (it was really busy inside). I was lucky and snagged a spot on the side street (Fourcade), right across from the barber shop which adjoins CS. There does seem to be available street parking nearby although I didn't read any of the signs. There is also an abandoned building next to CS but I saw towing signs so I didn't want to risk it.

This cafe was cute! The coffee was great, the hot cocoa was even better (not too sweet!) And there was plenty of parking and seating inside. The staff were friendly and the decorations were so cool! Their menu has limited food options, but they offer plenty in the way of drinks to stay satiated. I had their vegan almond butter and jelly sandwich and it was fantastic with my coffee. The music was fun and not too loud to study, and they had so many small nooks and tables tucked away for less distractions. Bathrooms were impeccably clean and I will definitely be back!
