Crema's Take
“The Board and Brew is a cozy game-focused cafe where you can linger for hours with friends over thoughtfully made in-house food and creative specialty drinks like the Davy Jones' Locker—just grab a board game (for $6 per person) and settle into one of their inviting couches. The staff clearly takes pride in hospitality, and while the food quality can be hit-or-miss, standouts like the fresh Pesto Chicken sandwich and signature drinks keep regulars coming back for dates, study sessions, or group hangouts. It's the kind of place that understands College Park students want more than just caffeine: they want an experience and a reason to stay.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Very cute litter gaming restaurant/cafe! The food was pretty good, it is all made in house which is lovely. You do have to pay $6 a person to play games, but then you can play anything you want. The food is also a bit overpriced, so it is a pricier excursion but nothing crazy.…
Jess was phenomenal! Hella humble & helpful! Great food! Great service! Great atmosphere! Ask for Gemma, she was my server. I recommend the Davy Jones' Locker & the Bnb wings! Super chill, very knowledgeable about the history of the store & the menu as well. Can't wait to return…
