Crema's Take

Cardboard Corner Cafe is a wonderfully unique blend of cozy neighborhood cafe and tabletop gaming hub, where you can settle in with creative waffles and specialty mocktails while surrounded by board games, dice, and fellow adventurers. The staff is genuinely warm and knowledgeable, making it an ideal spot to linger over an inventive drink like their Sea Devil Mocktail or dig into unexpected flavor combinations like blackberry, brie, and bacon waffles. It's the kind of place that's equally perfect for a solo coffee date, a game night with friends, or a family outing where everyone leaves happy.

Cozy little cafe spot with attached game store for dnd and other table top games. Lots of paints and dice and such. Some sealed TCG products but no singles etc. fantastic and friendly staff. Tried the cookies and cream with brown sugar boba and it was delicious! I didn’t get food but they had a nice menu of shareable creative geek themed food and drink as well including cocktails.

Best place in town to come play board games at, and they have an extensive good menu too. The menu is 90% waffles, but if you look hard you can find other stuff too. Their potato soup was great and their salads aren't bad either.

This was a great evening. We got the Blackberry, Brie, and Bacon Waffle and The Sea Devil Mocktail. The waffle was unique and quite good. The Mocktail was rather believable in the flavor of the alcohol free rum. We played Star Wars Outer Rim and had just enough time to learn and play Hey, That’s My Fish! The staff were friendly, polite, and helpful. We will definitely be coming back!

The atmosphere is good and there are plenty of games to pick from. I got the regular chicken and waffles. The waffles were dry and cold but still had flavor. The chicken tastes a little like lunchroom chicken tenders. It wasn't terrible but I've definitely had better. My suggestion would be to get something that has more items on the waffle. 6 out of 10.

What a fun place! We had been to Pawn & Pint and enjoyed it but live on the KS side so I’m glad Overland Park has a place like this too. We went on a Wednesday night and it was pretty full, so it seems like it’s often lively. It’s totally free to go in and play any of their MANY games but there are games and items for purchase as well if you so choose. Their food menu is interestingly waffle focused but I unfortunately did not have during our visit. Decent beer selection and I appreciate that they have a few mocktails on their menu that they’ve put thought into. My wife and I had a blast playing the game Fitz for the first time. Can’t wait to come back.
