Gunks Gaming Guild Cafe
17 Church St, New Paltz, NY
Crema's Take
“This board game cafe doubles down on community, offering locally roasted coffee that reviewers consistently praise as special for the Hudson Valley region, paired with the rare luxury of spending an entire day playing nearly any game in their collection for just $5 per person. The staff clearly knows their coffee craft and genuinely cares about making you feel welcome, though consistency can be hit-or-miss on specialty drinks like matcha lattes. It's the kind of place where regulars describe it as their "whole community"—equal parts serious coffee shop and gathering space where you can linger for hours.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly. Wifi. Parking available.
