    Roll Play is a fun place to hang out and play games. It's like a board game coffeehouse. For a small fee of five dollars, you can play a board game with friends or family. There is also a food and drink menu that you can order from. It's a really cool concept. The games are fun, unfortunately the food is average and not very memorable. I still recommend Roll Play for a fun atmosphere. The staff were very friendly.

    For anyone who likes to host board game gatherings, this is really the dream business for them which fits all their needs well. There is practically every major game one can think of, available to rent at an extremely reasonable price with plenty of space to host. The menu here is pretty extensive with lots of different food and drink options, which cover a variety of different asian cuisines at a reasonable price. There's plenty of milk tea, lemonade, green tea, slush, and other options here to cover any drink needs that one may have.

    Codenames Duet! Great game.

    This place is interesting. Nestled in a really cool historic building along with other shops, bars, and restaurants, it's tucked away in a corner past a makers' space. You'll find two large shelving units loaded with serious board games. We opted to try out Reef and Codenames Duet. They games were pretty beat up, which made the rules hard to follow since they were falling apart. I don't really fault them for this but it did reduce the experience. We ordered rice bowls and chips and dip, and my son got a boba tea he really enjoyed. The chips were straight out of a Costco bag if I had to guess, and the guacamole was quite plain. The rice bowls were better, with decent portions and flavor. Still nothing to write home about but not bad. Overall the place doesn't compare favorably to other board games cafè experiences I've had elsewhere. If it's close by and you want to hang out, go for it! Just lower the bar a notch before you go.

    Love Roll Play, back for the same order: Taiwanese Lurou fan (braised pork rice) and rose black milk tea but this time iced, with boba and crushed Oreos! Never had crushed Oreos in milk tea before but I do like it! Will reorder. Service was tip top this day, employees are always so attentive and gentle and friendly, very approachable and all around makes the gaming experience so homely. Fresh cucumbers and pickled radish in the rice bowl makes all the difference~ Would the owners consider opening a branch on the west side?

    This is a hidden gem in Gerver Mill. I had lunch from here on a Sunday. I was there early, so got a seat right away. But the place got busy right after. They have a lot of board games available. If you get food for some amoung (I think $20) you can play the games for free. Else pay a small fee for the game. I didn't play the games, but everyone else was. Bibimbap with Bulgogi beef was my favorite item. Definetely get the soy egg. It was very flavorful. Rose bandung was an amazing drink. It is rose milk, but has real rose petals in it. Real flavorful. Milo dinosour drink was ok. Singaporean chicken rice was good. Red bean taiyaki was good as well.

    Wide variety of games , lots of fun to play with friends. Nobody minded when we got loud in the heat of the game. The boba is amazing, lots of boba for your buck. Get the fish.

    HK Curry Fish Balls

    Board game house with a promising menu of pan-Asian street food, but the experience was hampered by poor service and cold food. It took our server a long time to get to us despite there only being one other table seated downstairs. He was unable to answer most questions about the menu. He was hesitant to help us out; he seemed all too happy to tell us that even small substitutions would not be accommodated, and hesitated when asked if we could have extra plates. Most of the food came out cold. The curry fish balls, one of the first items to come out, was especially chilly. Thankfully the soups that our group ordered came out hot. My jian bing was pretty good, but the pork floss was a bit flavorless. Overall the food was ok. It's not reasonable to expect perfect execution in such a varied menu at such a low price point. Unfortunately things moved so slowly that we did not have time after our meal to play any games. They still attempted to charge us a $5 per head board game fee, which I asked to be removed. I don't know if there were staffing issues or training issues at play here, but I would not come back unless the service was more smooth and the food came out hot.

    Took the family to try Roll Play and it was a hit. They enjoyed playing games while we waited for our food. The place is cute and service was friendly and helpful. We will definitely be coming back for more.

    There is a Venn diagram of board game menageries and bangin Asian street food and you'll find Roll Play right in the middle. And if your an absolute garden hoe for puns, the name says all. $5 dollars for gameplay (tbh never really seen them enforce the hourly rate thing-have usually just played for $5 flat). If you've got questions about their wall of available board games, someone working will be happy to give you suggestions based on what you're looking for! They've got expansion packs up the wazoo for all the popular ones (Ticket to Ride, Catan, etc) and many lesser knowns all sorted by game type (strategy, cooperative, etc). We got the HK curry fish balls, tteokbokki, and a beef rice bowl. HK Curry Fish balls - so good, fish balls done right, the curry really is good enough to drinks trust me we've done it tteobokki - excellently bouncy chewy rice cakes and had some goodies in the mix like pickled radishes, the sauce is good enough to drink but only if you want straight gochujang running thru your veins TLDR: games + street food = a great time. Get something spicy while playing one of their competitive ones and adrenaline will come steaming out your pores.

    Great place to just sit down and play games with friends. Only thing is that it can get packed and crammed in such a little space. They do have a boba menu with so many to choose from but not many food options. I went for the red bean taiyaki. It was kinda small which I didn't expect but it was still good.

    Spy Alley and bibimbap

    Service was great. The bibimbap was delicious. The star was the spicy sauce that comes on the side! It was perfectly packed with flavor and heat. So yummy! Mochi pumpkin muffin was nice and chewy, tasted like Christmas. Strawberry matcha with boba and strawberry popping boba was delectable. Lots of games to choose from for all ages. Hand sanitizer on every table was a huge plus. Will definitely be back. Pro tip: They allow you to bring in food from the other food stalls at Garver Feed Mill. We brought in pizza from Ian's to go with our other food.

    I have never been to Roll Play but I love the concept and the location. Eating good food and playing board games or card games is so much fun. The waitstaff were very attentive and offered help with the menu and the games! Plenty of parking at this location which is great for bigger parties. Food was so flavorful and filling! Definitely will revisit.

    Good amount of seating, and a kitchen in the corner for their tasty Korean food
    Matt W.

    We had the pleasure of attending an event hosted at Roll Play, and my wife and I had a great time! We were able to enjoy fun boardgames and try some great food! They had a good selection of games here, and even had an area for games new to their collection. The staff was really friendly, and available to teach us the basics of the game we chose, so we could start playing quickly! After that, we were able to relax and chat with great Korean food, and our choice of tons of different boba tea flavors with a bunch of different bobas we could add in. While the library isn't as large as somewhere like Noble Knight, this is the perfect place to take family and friends to have fun and relax with a meal. They also host events that you can find on their Instagram, I'm excited for the Happy Potter Trivia soon!

    A great spot for people looking to play board games in madison and grab a tasty bite to eat at the same time. Not for a bad price either.

    The most unbelievable email ive ever read. I said I was uncomfortable about something at the…read moreforward coffee shop and posting a review of my experience on yelp or google of a business and sharing what I experienced is freedom of speech and that's what yelp and google is. They threatened legal action if I shared what I experienced. The email that I'm still speechless about they directly insinuated i have mental health issues - all bc I asked to speak to a manager about something that was making me uncomfortable and would make anyone uncomfortable. This entire email is the clearest example of destructive gaslighting i have ever see. I have never spoken a word to them about my personal life, I have never said a word about 'metal health issues. I was not given any opportunity to speak or defend myself.They made sure i wasnt called only emailed to control their narrative of me. I made the decision to never come back days ago. I go almost every day. I am unbelievably nice. I dont say anything besides my order and small friendly talk. I say thank you every time i get my drink and smile. I am not someone that would randomly make things up. I explained a situation that happened 5 months ago but as you can see in the email they've apparently 'looked at all the footage' and have made their conclusion in less than a day. There's no way you can go over 8 months of footage in less than a day. There's no way to make an accurate fair conclusion in less than a day. As you can see in their response they accused me of trying to make employees look bad. Here was the incident: I came out of the exit door to the bathroom and two employees had been so close to the door that I hit them by accident. I asked 'can I help you?' And they ran away. Even then I didn't say anything. It was invasive, inappropriate, and incredibly rude. I should have said something as anyone would but I didn't. Somehow I knew this would happen if I said a word. They usually have one or two at the front and are very often alone but bc the employees didn't see anything that means I'm lying. Make that make sense Their false accusations and threats of taking legal action is laughable. They even had the balls to give me the number of a mental health line. It is absolutely despicable and condescending. It's hilarious to me that they set these rules and conclusions that I must follow as if not following it is doing something illegal. I'm not an idiot. I feel so sad for people that are actually like this bc it only shows how many issues they have and how unhappy they are. It shows the type of people they are and their morals and values and indifference. To know a collective group of people, a well known and popular coffee shop, handles a customer telling them something is making them uncomfortable is in reality the direct opposite of how establishments are as a norm. It makes me very concerned for customers. Lastly The email written to me said how'd they they don't have cameras in the bathroom or stalls so they don't know if anything happened. The incident was not inside the bathroom and stalls. I said that many times and made clear. They lied to make me look even worse.The moral of the story is don't speak up when you feel uncomfortable bc it's your fault you feel that way. Keep spreading that message my friends. I was told it was inappropriate to contact any employees or go into the store as if I had already done something or was going to. I do not behave in that way nor have I ever.. I dont have any contact info for any of them. Ive never seen any of them outside the coffee shop or spoken to them. I don't even know their names.. The emails are not in order - yelp has been mixing them up when I put them in order. Sorry about that

    A really nice cafe that's located in downtown Lake Geneva. It has floor to ceiling windows…read morethroughout that allows all the natural light in. This was is designed simple and beautifully. Staff members were nice and were keeping up with how busy it was. My husband and I stopped in around 10am on a weekday and it was packed. We were fortunate enough to snag a table inside. We noticed that people were constantly coming and going throughout our time there. We shared the hot pumpkin cream chai and the avocado and egg sandwich. This seasonal drink is probably 1 of my favorite coffee drinks of all times. It was creamy, not overly sweet and very delicious. It reminded my husband of having a slice of homemade pumpkin pie in drink form. The avocado and egg sandwich was also very good. The croissant was flaky and buttery. All the ingredients went very well together.

It was my first time so I probably looked confused but was helped quickly and decided on a regular coffee and the sourdough toast as I just was walking around at the farmers market and saw that it wasn't too busy so I wanted to give it a try. Even though it wasn't that busy, it probably took about 8 to 10 minutes for my toast, but I received my coffee immediately and if you dine in you do get free refills on the drip coffee, which was nice. The coffee was absolutely delicious. Probably the best drip coffee. I have had a really long time. My sourdough toast with fresh fruit, and raspberry jam was also delicious. I traveled to Lake Geneva often to visit friends and family in the area, and I am definitely going to make this one of my must stops in the future. There is indoor and outdoor seating - more indoor with the bathrooms behind the main building. Also for next time they have $10 s'mores supplies for use at their tables outside!
