Crema's Take

The Uncommons is a vibrant board game café in Midtown Manhattan where specialty coffee takes a backseat to community—Cooper and the team have created an unexpectedly welcoming hub that hosts legendary One Piece game nights and draws devoted players with genuine hospitality and thoughtfully curated games. Beyond the games themselves, it's a rare NYC spot where you can linger for hours with friends, sip a solid cup of coffee or specialty drink, grab some light bites, and actually feel like you've stumbled into someone's living room rather than a typical café.

What to expect

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

I really liked it! My friends and I go crazy for board games, this was a really nice place for 10 dollars per person for 3 hours. The workers are very very nice, they were clear, helpful and immediately explained the rules and everything. They were active and the games were very…
