The 15% Board Game Cafe

The 15% Board Game Cafe offers a dual experience—a front coffee counter serving locally roasted espresso and homemade pastries, and a pay-to-play gaming area in back with more than 400 titles ranging from simple party favourites to complex strategy games. Guests purchase a play pass (around $7 on weekdays or $10 on weekends) which grants all-day access to the library and comes with a complimentary drink. The cafe’s inclusive mission is woven throughout the space, creating a place where diversity is celebrated and newcomers feel at home. A menu of sandwiches, pastries and snacks is complemented by a wide range of beverages, from coffees and teas to Italian sodas, cider, beer, mead and wine. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are available, and staff are happy to suggest games for novices. Membership plans add benefits such as reserved tables. The combination of handcrafted drinks, thoughtful food and a game library curated to delight both casual players and hobbyists makes this spot a warm, community-focused destination.
