Great Games Library & Cafe - Tallahassee, Florida

Coffee/tea, Greek food, and board games - what’s not to love? My husband and I popped in to check it out. They have more games than I have ever seen in one place, the owner is SUPER friendly and knowledgeable. Very clean, bright, and lovely. Signed up for the membership, can’t wait for our first official game day there!

I love both this place and the owner. He's extremely knowledgeable, and the care he puts into offering both food and games is amazing. Even if you aren't a gamer, stop in to grab some coffee or tea and a sweet or salty treat. If you like the coffee or tea, you can usually buy a bag/box to take home and make it yourself. The price to play games is extremely reasonable considering the size of the library of games and it's always easy to find something new to try or just play your favorite.

My wife and I have been going here since 2022 and we love hanging out here and playing board games on the weekend! James fosters a very warm and inviting environment and there is a true community that he has built. He cares about the shop and you can tell that he is driven by true passion. The bagels here are amazing and so are the variety of unique beverages you can get! I love coming here and being a member!

They had really good Lucky Goat Coffeeand the owner was very helpful. He explained the way to join the club as well as how the board games are played on Saturdays. I will definitely come back to play.

This experience was from over a year ago, but a friend recently reminded about this place and I thought the community should know that well-behaved, respectful, young game lovers are not welcome here. We have a ton of games, quite a few that are in this shop, and my girls are very respectful of the games - but they also love to play them. (We modify rules for their ages since they aren't old enough for most & until recently couldn't read.) We went as a family & the girls were looking at games, slightly pulling out boxes to see the entire front/ back, etc. I was watching them, too. Perfectly reasonable behavior. The owner was all over them & then berated me that some of these games are very expensive or can't be replaced. I was like yeah, I know, and they know. But he just kept on them until they were scared to touch anything & we went outside to wait until my husband and older son were done looking.

Do they have a lot of really interesting games? Yes. Will we be back? No.

I’ve been to the store several times, usually to pick up gifts or to see what new Kickstarter games they’ve gotten in, and every time I’ve been there the owner is always so friendly, helpful, and super knowledgeable on all the games in the shop. The last time I popped in he helped out with pinning down a Kickstarter campaign I missed out on but was glad he had, and introduced me to a couple new games for my partner and I to play. Definitely recommend!

James is great! The atmosphere is perfect. Lots of friendly people here and maybe thousands of games to choose from. We rent a game once every week from here.

A great place to just drop in and play board games. The owner is very hospitable, and there are so many games to choose from.

Would definitely do a monthly membership if I lived in town!
