    This is the games library!  You can borrow one of these and play it at one of their tables.

    I love Meeples Games! It is definitely the best game store in Seattle. The owners and all of the staff members are true board game geeks! They are passionate about the industry and they have actually played a lot of games, so they are super helpful and give awesome recommendations. Meeples has an extensive game lending library. You can pretty much borrow almost any game they sell and play it in the store. They have a cafe area with tables, so you can order food and drinks while you play. They have flatbread pizzas, sandwiches, salads, coffee, tea, beer, etc. I really like their ginger cookie! I've come here several times with my husband. It is an excellent place for date night or to hang out with your friends. The place is very easy to get to and they have a free (90 minute) parking lot. There is also free street parking in this area and there is a bus stop nearby. The games at Meeples are reasonably priced and they also have a sale section. They have a great selection of games on-site, but if they don't have something in stock, they can usually order it for you. Sometimes I can find games a little bit cheaper online, but I really enjoy supporting a local, small business like Meeples instead. Meeples also has a back room with tables which is called the Thunderdome. They regularly host Pokemon, Magic, and Dungeons and Dragons events there. I'm not into any of those, but I love that they give tweens a safe place to hang out and play games.

    Came to play board games. Did not know there was a food option. Had salad and burger. Both excellant. Staff was helpful and attentive. Bathroom clean.

    Lots of games for sale at Meeples

    Meeples is epic! If you are into games, gaming, gamers, playing games, or anything else remotely related to games, this is the place. Located on the second floor of a nondescript building off California Ave SW, it has a large selection of tabletop games, plus a lot of other types such as Stars Wars Miniatures, etc. There's lots of space to actually play games, there, too. Lots of tournaments, lessons, etc. Really a fun place. The small restaurant towards the back has a number of tables where you can play while having a meal and a drink. Yes, they have beer! Cans, and a few on tap. Coffee drinks, the works. The food menu is pretty good. Hits the spot while playing games. Behind the register at the front, there are lots of games that you can borrow (no charge) to test out before you buy, or just play for fun. And yes, you're welcome to bring in your own games to play, too. Lots of Pokemon and other card games for sale, too. Love this place!

They are willing to make your bevvy dreams a reality. In retrospect, some of the flavor combinations I've suggested are nightmares. But, I am a Goblin. The interior has themed rooms which are kept clean by Seattle and Goblin standards, but would be considered fairly dirty anywhere in Japan. It can get busy on the weekends, but this Goblin knows what it's like to be slammed, so I wait patiently and be respectful. It's nice to see an unpretentious flavor forward cafe run by young women doing so well. Their Hazelnut lattes don't lack flavor and taste like you "don't get it". Their coffee tastes like you were finally invited to the dance. While the market has decided that a Goblin will pay at least $8 for a coffee now, I'll fight back my Goblin tears and say "WORTH IT, WORTH IT, YOU ARE WORTH IT!". I took 1 star off because no place is perfect. I'd also like to see patrons of West Seattle businesses do more as a community to keep these spaces clean and tidy.

    We stopped by Panterelli after the West Seattle Sunday Farmers Market, wandering in after hearing…read moreabout the best Choux pastries in Seattle. There weren't any other customers inside and we were greeted with an empty display case in the front. While barren, the owner, a gruff* French gentlemen, confirmed that he still had choux pastry left with a choice of either vanilla, coconut, pistachio, or hazelnut. We decided to go with the pistachio, which he assembled fresh for us, first by piping pistachio cream inside the choux shell, then dipping in melted chocolate and sprinkling pistachio on top. Pistachio Choux ($6) - The choux is excellent, baked until deliciously crisp on the exterior while the inside remains soft, eggy, and tender. Since it's fresh filled and we ate it right afterwards, the cream never migrated to saturate the crust - I suspect people with issues with mushiness probably let the cream puff sit too long before consuming. The cream, which is piped to the brim, pushes out against the delicate shell, causing each bite to almost squirt out a bit of the luscious, silky whipped custard. The cream coats the lips and mouth with a layer of fat. It's not too sweet and has a light nutty pistachio flavor. The melted chocolate the top is dipped into glues on all of the pistachio dip. The chocolate is slightly bitter, yet sweet, so it helps cut through some of the rich silkiness of the cream. The pistachios on top act like a crumble, perhaps pulverized and melded with butter to create a very rich yet pistachio forward mix. It's strongly flavored, and the chocolate creates such a strong cement that none of the nuts detach while eating. (5/5) Panterelli was a huge surprise as it wasn't even on our radar until we walked past the shop randomly while exploring the Farmers Market. It's a definite revisit in the future! *The owner isn't nearly as welcoming as a typical American small business owner, but is certainly friendly and eager to chat. I also love his attitude - looks aren't that important; it's the taste the reigns supreme!

It had this light whipped cream dusted with cocoa powder on top of this white chocolate banana custard. In that custard was also these large chunks of bananas which was unexpected. I did enjoy the pie, but I don't think I would crave it. One thing I would change would be the pie crust. Something about it wasn't doing it for me. All in all, a solid experience. I've been here multiple times before and tried a good majority of their pies. Still need to tried a pie shake as well as their other offerings. If you like pie, this place has plenty of them.
