Some of the games available.
Karen M.

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.

My kinda cafe! I…read morelove visiting cat cafés and it's so great to see them popping up across the state more frequently. I bought tickets for me and my mom online and getting into the cat café was very easy. Plenty of parking is available and the café portion of the storefront looks right into the cat room. There were enough cats for everyone inside to find someone to play with, even if some of the little friends were tired. You must take your shoes off to go into the cat room, but if you dont have socks, there are some available for purchase. Definitely will return soon!

The coffee was good, and the place was clean, but the owner has a very bad attitude. We didn't get…read moreto do a meet and greet of the cats that were there, which is completely understandable if you don't make a reservation, so keep in mind to do one ahead of time. However, the owner was rude to us because my mother couldn't hear well, and my mom had a few questions that are just common questions coming into a cat cafe, but when answered by the owner of all people none the less, rolled her eyes a few times and snapped back with the answers. My mom is elderly, and with dealing with customers, you shouldn't have such a poor attitude. It makes you turn away from what should be a good experience, especially when interested in adoption, to a negative vibe all around. You don't feel very welcomed coming into the place. You automatically want to try a different adoption and rescue place, which makes you feel bad for the cats. The concept is great as far as cat cafes go, but it was just unpleasant being there even when all you want to do is sip on a coffee and look at the cats in the meantime, whether you plan to go back to meet the cats or just support a local business.

NYC just dropped a piece of Hogwarts right in the middle of Flatiron, and you already know I had to…read morego test out the merchandise. ​Walked straight into the new Harry Potter flagship store and targeted the giant Butterbeer Bar like a man on a mission. Ordered a cold draft Butterbeer, and listen--this stuff hits like pure liquid butterscotch candy. Frosty, sweet, and it comes served in a proper heavy tankard you get to take home like a trophy. ​Since moderation isn't in my vocabulary, I also ordered the Butterbeer ice cream. Absolutely outstanding. 10/10. ​The place literally has 1,000 glowing bottles floating above the bar, copper pipes running through the ceiling, and a massive 220 lb phoenix hanging out inside. Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood herself) was even hanging around showing off the setup. ​If you're in NYC, forget the diet, get down to Broadway & 22nd, and get yourself a cold one. ‍

Such a cool experience for any Harry Potter fan!…read more The Harry Potter Shop was HUGE and honestly so much cooler than I expected. There was so much to look at and they had so many fun things throughout the shop. You could easily spend a good amount of time walking around and looking at everything. We also got some sweet treats while we were there. We tried the cake cup, which was yummy, although I expected it to be a little more moist. The Butterbeer was definitely my favorite though! It was so good and such a fun thing to try while visiting the shop. They even have a restroom, which was a nice bonus since we were already spending some time there. Even if you're not planning to buy anything, I think it's worth stopping in just for the experience. It really feels like you're stepping into the Harry Potter world and there are so many fun details to see. Definitely a fun NYC stop!

This is definitely not the case at the Main Street Board Game Cafe! The $15 entrance fee makes perfect sense to me... as they have a great variety of games in surprisingly immaculate condition, and very knowledgeable staff that are happy to explain how all of the games are played. The staff are really what set this cafe apart from others like it. Learning the rules from an expert is what makes complicated strategy based games less scary and more fun!! Everything is also very clean and well maintained, and the food is tasty. Definitely not the fanciest or most complex stuff on the menu, but who's coming here for the food anyway? They make a yummy grilled cheese, and some really good strong espresso based drinks. They have a great selection of teas from the clipper ship tea company as well.

I gave 2 stars for the nice staff that gave us a nice game recommendation towards the end of our…read moretime there but that's about it. I cannot believe they don't serve hot food starting around 8:15pm and they close at 11pm. They only have cold items like hummus and veggies and sweets. And apparently, no outside food. Definitely a place to avoid if you want to eat a meal and play games after 8pm. It's not fun to play on an empty stomach!

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!
