Crema's Take

Squarrel Cafe is a wonderfully welcoming Brooklyn spot that brilliantly blends quality coffee craftsmanship with board game culture, making it feel less like a typical cafe and more like a creative community hub where you can linger for hours. Their white lattes are perfectly balanced, the grilled cheese sandwiches are generously loaded, and the curated game collection gives friends and solo visitors alike a reason to stay and connect, whether you're studying, gaming, or just soaking in the cozy, character-filled atmosphere.

My wife and I stopped here earlier today for s cup of coffee, we tried their white latte no sugar and a grilled cheese, i loved the coffee, it was perfectly balanced and the grilled cheese was delicious as well. My wife loved it as well, but had to add two sugar packets because she thought that it was a bit bitter without sugar. FYI, they do use Parkay as a butter substitute so make sure you let them know not to add any if you care about yourself. The guy making it understood and happily made the change without saying anything or making us feel some type of way, he also refused to my offer to pay again. The experience deserves a 5 star rating and will return whenever im around.

As far as Game Cafes go, this has a lot going for it. The table sizes are good, the selection, though not the biggest, is varied. You can play everything from casual party games, to mass market classics, to modern euros, historical war games and 18xx! I’m far from an expert on Bubble tea, but the passion fruit tea I got was refreshing and good. $8 sit and play fee for 3h of $15 for all day seems pretty standard, though I still wish more places implemented a food/drink minimum to waive these fees.

This is one of my favorite places to come to study, hang with friends, and meet cool people. The food is great (especially the rice balls) the vibe is amazing and they have a lot of amazing games to play and purchase if you really like them. I have found several board games here that I’ve bought myself because they were THAT good! And the staff are nothing but kind! If you are thinking of stopping by please do you won’t regret it

Nice cozy little spot with a lot of character and good service. They are absolutely loaded with board games of all kinds so it’s a nice little spot for locals to come together, chill, and play some games. I had good coffee and strangely good popcorn chicken. As you can see from the photo, the presentation of the chicken wasn’t much but don’t let the picture fool you it was actually pretty damn flavorful and affordable. I would order it again… Side note, the bathroom was also modern and clean which is always a much welcome benefit in a NYC establishment.

I love this place. I always stop by for a drink. My favorite is the grilled cheese sandwich but they have variety of drinks and a few food items. The grilled cheese has abundant amount of cheese not your average grilled cheese. It is very filling and done fresh on the spot. I get a drip coffee with almond milk to go along with it. Sometimes the tables in the back are very crowded with people playing the vintage board games that you can play for a small fee. Overall it's a great cozy and super fun place to get a small bite and drink plus play boardgames.
