Crema's Take

Battle Grounds Gaming Cafe is a Portland gem that seamlessly blends specialty coffee craft with tabletop gaming culture, creating a genuinely welcoming third space where you can linger for hours with friends, partners, or your pup while sipping expertly-made drinks and working through their library of board games. The baristas clearly care about their coffee (that cinnamon drink has fans for life), and the full breakfast menu and homemade pastries like their famous mocha cheesecake muffin give you every reason to stay well past your first cup. It's the kind of place where you stumble in for caffeine and somehow lose an afternoon to good food, good games, and genuinely good vibes.

I love checking out fun and nerdy businesses and if they have drinks or food, then it is a must visit. I called to see if they were dog friendly and they said they were so my boyfriend and I drove over with our two fur babies. Once we arrived inside, we were greeted warmly by the employees and they kindly instructed us to let them if we had any questions. My boyfriend and I first looked at their menu to see what they had and I love how their menu is themed! They also have lots of pastries both savory and sweet. I got their blackberry Faywild soda (their take on a Italian soda) and pumpkin pie macaron which was tart and delightful. My boyfriend got their white chocolate mocha was he was very pleased with, and he was browsing their TCGs and board games. They have plenty of tables and chairs to enjoy your drinks, snacks or to play board games. I cannot wait to come back to try out more of their offerings and to support a neat cafe that is dog friendly!

What a fun discovery! Generous selection of games of all varieties to play, delicious mocha cheesecake muffin (nicely heated up of course) and spacious, relaxed atmosphere. Even this old Gen X felt at home. Long may they prosper!

We had a great time visiting. Coffee was good, atmosphere was great. We enjoyed a couple of hours playing some new-to-us games available in the game library

I stopped in for the first time with a friend to pick up RCCC tickets and grab a coffee. The barista was so nice and made the most delicious coffee with cinnamon that I've ever had in my life, as well as an amazing mint matcha! They also have a nice selection of tabletop games to purchase and a library if you want to try out games while you're there. The genderless bathrooms were really nice as well and have fun symbols on them. There are several tables throughout to chill and play games at. There are also some really cool laser cut wooden and acrylic card cases and crafted dice boxes, as well as miniatures and handmade dice. Will definitely be back again! The service was awesome! 😊
