Crema's Take

“This Altoona gem brilliantly blends a craft coffee and cocktail bar with a curated board game library, creating a genuinely fun third space where you can linger over a creative drink (their White Russian gets serious praise) while discovering your next favorite game. The warm, welcoming staff and reasonable prices—meals with drinks for under six dollars—make it feel inclusive rather than precious, whether you're there for a solo work session, trivia night, or a date. It's the kind of place where the excellent vibes and genuine community energy matter just as much as the coffee itself.”

What to expect

Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Family friendly. Wifi.

This is a great place for either family time, a hang out, or for a date. Unless your there after 4pm then playing the games are free, after was only $5 at the time. Good unique snacks and drinks. Not a place for a meal but great snacks/hold overs. Menu can seem a little pricey…

Such a fun place to visit and find new games! The atmosphere can be a little loud at busy times but is overall enjoyable. The food and drinks are always a treat and the people are great! Cant wait for my next visit.
