Owlbear's Rest
506 Main St, Westbrook, ME
Crema's Take
“Owlbear's Rest is a wonderfully cozy gathering spot that blends coffee culture with board game discovery, letting you test out games before committing to a purchase while settling in with a well-made drink. The spacious, thoughtfully designed interior with comfortable seating makes it equally perfect for a solo work session, a casual date night, or bringing the whole family, and reviewers consistently praise how the staff has curated everything from the game selection to clever pairings with their beverage menu. It's the kind of place where a few hours slip by easily, whether you're playing games with friends or enjoying a grilled cheese and quality coffee in peaceful solitude.”

I love this spot for gathering with one friend or many. I’ve been here multiple times and each time has been a treat. The ability to try out new board games before you buy them is awesome. The space is cozy, quiet, and relaxing, with a small work area as you come through the door. If I was a remote worker, I would screw Starbucks and come here for the delicious lattes with Bard coffee, or one of their many tea varieties while using their wifi. I enjoy their hearty pretzels and recently had this lemon cheesecake ball that was to die for. I don’t normally get a whole meal here but it’s well worth a few hours to stop by, play some games and drink a few beverages (alcoholic or non alcoholic) while connecting.
Spacious, solid game collection, drinks were good. I really enjoyed my grilled cheese with apple slices, and the beet side was really good. Hand pie was okay. Will definitely visit again! They have little portable side tables to keep your food on if the game takes up too much of the table.
Absolutely love this place, the games, the atmosphere. It's such a fun place to go solo or bring the fam. A 10/10 date night as well. The food is a bit on the pricey side but seeing as that's all you have to pay for to enjoy such a great experience it is well worth it. I would happily pay a cover charge to get in. The assortment of games is amazing and I love just getting to bring whoever I'm with and sit down and crack up trying to fumble through new games. Might just have finally convinced me to try DnD too
This space is so cute!! My husband and I brought some friends here to play board games on Sunday. The atmosphere is perfect! The chairs as are comfy (an extra bonus when playing games for hours)! The drinks are great! The food is yummy! The staff is friendly and helpful! I can't wait to go back and bring more friends. ☺️
What a wonderful new place to relax and play board games with friends! I was so impressed with how thoughtfully everything has been put together, from the board game pairings for their beer menu, to the game library. The drinks and food are excellent, the space is beautiful, and it’s run by very kind people. We will absolutely be back!! Thank you so much for being here!
