    Some of the games available.

    We were visiting the area and needed a place to kill a few hours and boy did this place far exceed that. We were greeted by a really friendly staffer who took our drink orders and explained how it worked and then gave excellent recommendations. We had a blast playing board games for hours and even learning a new game from a volunteer. We are so sad we don't live closer - this place is perfect: welcoming, great selection, great space!

    This place already has a good community feel. I went in on a Sunday afternoon and had just enough space for me and my friends. I recommend choosing the "fellowship" special as it includes gameplay, one drink, and one snack at $15. We stayed there for well over 2 hours but easily could have stayed longer. They have games for children and adults. I'm so glad a board game Café has opened up again in Middletown!

    It was a coincidence we walked by here and we ended up staying for two hours! We really enjoyed this cafe. The game selection was impressive to say the least and they even have them labeled to help you pick games based on time, # of players, and more. I am so happy we got to experience this while visiting CT. The lavender chai latte was good too! The staff was very kind as well. 10/10 recommend.

    A great space for gaming. Bookshelves full of games, clean laminated tables of various sizes, full coffee bar, great staff, and fun decor.

You got clothing, accessories like house colored ties, socks and hair bows, wands, housewares, books, toys etc. There's also a small section for New York exclusives like t-shirts, mugs and socks. Design is black and gold with the words Harry Potter New York on it. I got a pair of socks for $8.00....not bad. For those who live near a Universal Studios, you will see some items here that they also sell in the theme parks. There's also a small cafe area for your pastries and drinks. My friend got a mini sized "happee birthdae harry" pink cake + pumpkin juice. I had a sip of the pumpkin juice and it tasted like thick consistency apple juice. It's not bad but it's not something I would personally order. When it comes to the food items, think novelty over quality. It's good for the 'gram, ya know? There's one single bathroom is located on the second level. Be sure to check out the Dark Arts/green Slytherin room. Plenty of photo ops in this store.

    This was my first visit to cat café, so I cannot compare it to another experience or location…read more I like that you can make an appointment in advance or walk in. I was unsure, so I just made the appointment. It was $25 for 1 hour. The space is small, but very cute and nicely decorated. I had to ask what to do and how this works because no one really explained anything, other than telling me what door to walk through. Two girls working are fairly young; possibly college-age? They just sat in the room and talked while I interacted with the cats. I did ask questions and one of them answered and did engage. These cats are adoptable, and I think the staff could do more to advertise or promote that. Maybe because I'm a big cat and dog lover, I just expected more enthusiasm?

    I was on my way to an event at the Kate performance house, and arrived early, so walked down the…read morestreet and stumbled into this amazing cat heaven. While they recommend appointments, they were able to get me in and I was happy to pay the suggested fee. The place is extremely clean, well decorated and has amazing places for cats to play and hide when they need to. It isn't really a "cat cafe" in that they only have a few packaged drinks and snacks, but you are there for the cats. The cats vary widely in temperment (as cats will do). Some of the younger ones wanted to play and didn't mind contact, but some of the more mature ones were a bit feisty. I got a *very* tiny bite that I deserved :-). Be aware of kitty signals about how interactive they want to be. The owners are amazing and explained the procedures clearly. No pressure or even questions about adopting, they let the cats speak for themselves. If I were a cat I think I'd want to just stay there!
