Crema's Take

“David's Good Game Cafe is a vibrant hub where serious card collectors and casual gamers find refuge alongside coffee lovers, with a owner who genuinely knows the rules to every game on the shelf and the patience to teach them. The counter serves up quality coffee and tea paired with Neil's donuts, but the real draw is the welcoming local community that keeps people coming back—whether they're hunting for hard-to-find Pokemon cards, jumping into Digimon tournaments, or discovering their next favorite board game with friends and family. It's the kind of place where forty-minute drives feel worthwhile and kids' endless questions are met with attentive enthusiasm.”

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Family friendly. Wifi.

Great place to hang out with friends and play board games. Amazing teas and they have donuts from Neil's! Update: I keep coming back for the board games, but now they've got me playing card games too!
