Such a great spot for the whole family! I love that you can eat, drink, and play all in one place. The decor has such a fun vibe and makes it easy to settle in and stay awhile. We ended up staying for hours trying out so many games, sharing appetizers, and I enjoyed a latte. Definitely one of those places that makes for such a fun and memorable outing. The kids are asking to go back! read more

I'm a regular, paying customer who has spent significant time here across multiple visits. On a recent visit, I was asked to give up my table due to a reservation conflict after being seated for hours and actively ordering. The issue wasn't the food or atmosphere, but how the situation was handled once a conflict arose. As a visibly queer patron with mobility considerations, this raised concerns about how long-stay customers are treated, particularly when accessibility and inclusion are part of the venue's public messaging. This was a situation that could have been resolved with clearer communication and basic service recovery (including acknowledgment or compensation for the disruption). Instead, it left me feeling dismissed. I've documented the full experience, including accessibility observations, for anyone who wants additional context. Sharing this so others can make informed decisions. Read the full review including notes about accessibility on Medium.com @accessible_tempe https://medium.com/@accessible_tempe read more

For a coffee shop the appetizers were above what I expected. The cheese sticks were solid and the ranch was delicious. The wait staff were attentive and friendly. And the vibe inside the place was perfect for enjoying games and time with friends and family. My only complaint would be that parking was a tad tricky to navigate but that is to be expected in any downtown location. read more

Haven't been here in years but went with friends on a Saturday afternoon. We walked in and were quickly seated. We only got cocktails, which were good. Nothing on the menu was appealing to us at the time of our visit but we did see some good looking dishes come out. Menus are barcodes and you order and pay online. For some reason, my online check stopped working so I wound up paying with the server. We tried to assemble a puzzle but so many pieces were missing. The game librarian introduced herself so my friends asked if they check if all pieces are in a game or set when someone turns them in and the person said no. We really didn't understand why she was there then lol charging a fee for games and puzzles when they have so many missing pieces is annoying. Snakes & Lattes is a great concept and a nice hangout but needs some changes. read more

First time at Snakes & Lattes in Tempe, Az. Love the concept of a restaurant, bar and coffee shop with lots of board games. There is a $5 per person charge if you want to play games only. I was there for a happy hour and tried several Appetizers and coffee. The service was great, Apps were tasty and ambiance was open with an outside dog patio. Will have to try some entrees next time. Ordering and payment is on line. All good here! read more

Happy to have a location in Tempe but it could be improved. The food is very basic. There's nothing on the menu where I'm like yes this place has the best xyz so I'm never super excited to go here. Nothing stands out or seems/tastes especially fresh or signature. The games really need to be replaced more often or at least routinely maintained & the selection could be larger. A couple of the booths are damaged and have been for a bit. imo that doesn't look great. Polite staff. read more

"My favorite cheese is the one you keep around for emergencies. Just in queso." ― @primawesome, Twitter/X Do you know what you need before hitting an ASU game? Carbs! Nachos and beer, baby. Plus an addition of wings too! - Nachos ($19 + $4 for grilled chicken): I can never say no to chips. It could be with guacamole, salsa, or cheese and I'm here for it. The nachos at Snakes & Lattes are legit. You get an "A" Mountain sized pile of chips. Do you need the extra protein? Maybe not. But we were seeing an ASU game in the late August heat. Let me have some protein. - Garlic Parmesan Wings ($15): I wasn't expecting a BWW saucy situation but I'm not mad about it. They were good sized, plumped, and tasty. - OHSO Popcycle Blonde ($8): One of my favorite brews in town and I'm not even a fan of beer. I love the Popcycle Blonde though because It tastes like a lemon raspberry popsicle at an ABV of 4.5%. Don't question it. Just get it. Enjoy food, drinks, and over 1000 board games! read more

Established in 2010 in Toronto, Canada, Snakes & Lattes is more than just a board game café. They also have beer, mimosa flights, snacks, and more We came here before the first ASU football game of the season and it was the perfect start to a good evening. It's hassle free where you order and pay via QR code on the table. We ordered beer, chicken nachos, and some wings. The food is pretty good too. Service is speedy and it's just a little ways off of Mill Ave. I would definitely stop by again. read more

This place is a mixed bag for me. I like it in theory but you Pretty much have to order using the APP. I don't like that. If I'm spending money to go out I want a regular server. They do technically let you order through a server but it's really hard to get decent service that way. They also reserve the ENTIRE restaurant on trivia nights and don't allow walk-ins. Very odd. read more

Second time dining here during Tempe Blooms and we loved it again. The space is fun, spacious, and the decor is great. We've only sat at the bar, but the staff is always friendly and accommodating. The food was excellent - especially the sweet potato waffle fries! Mocktails were good too. Great spot for dates, hangouts, or family fun, plus they have a nice patio. Definitely recommend if you're in Tempe. read more

Went to Snakes & Lattes on a Saturday afternoon. I know there was an ASU football game later that evening, but found it a little surprising that they asked us if we had reservations. I'm actually fan of making reservations, just didn't think Snakes & Lattes was the kind of place you would need one. Anyway, service was friendly, food and drink orders came out SUPER quickly, and everything tasted awesome delicious! I opted for a mimosa flight (highly recommended!) and split some nachos and garlic parm wings with our group. Both food options were damn good!!

Hostess Gwen was a lovely presence as soon as a I walked in. Very warm and personable. She came and got me as soon as our group was starting to sit. Bartender Izzy was equally a sweetheart so first impressions, great as soon as I walked in! Our group server Letty was darling. I ordered the giant club sandwich, light on the ham. It was just okay in my opinion but other guests love it! The bread was warm and soft which I enjoyed. I was hoping for crunchy iceberg lettuce but turned out they only had romaine. I didn't find myself as impressed by this club as I usually am. The bacon was also a bit dry and laking in flavor and crisp. An iceberg option would be great in the future! I'm used to a club having a bit more texture and more flavorful mayo, tomatos, etc so wouldn't order this one again. Someone in our party ordered a Nutella latte sounded fabulous. Will definitely try that next time. The ample game offerings are definitey cool and the place is very spacious. Love the free street parking on Sundays so definitely worth a stop! read more

Excited to finally check this spot out with a friend! Came on a Wednesday night not knowing it's trivia night and you need reservations. Luckily we got seated right away but were only allowed to stay until 7 when trivia starts. We ordered food and quickly checked out the games to find something we could play in an hour. Love how the games are tagged with colored stickers to find games suited for the number of players and then labeled by type. Love all the nostalgia games too (I haven't seen crackers in my bed since I was little)! The server was friendly and helpful explaining how to order through the app (you have to pay $6 per person if you choose to play games). I ordered strawberry spinach salad and friend ordered the wings. The drinks and food came out really quickly so we could easily enjoy the meal in the allotted time. The salad was fresh and a great size. It was really flavorful and I devoured every bite (I usually prefer to order with dressing on side but it wasn't too drenched so I could enjoy it). Friend enjoyed the flavor of the wings and said they were cooked well too. Definitely a fun way to get out of the house with friends and enjoy some food, drinks, and games! It's also a great way to try new games you never play (we picked Numbr9 which i I never heard of before) read more

A great place to come for drinks and games. NOT the food. We started with the fried pickles that were sliced too thin and overcooked. They were too salty My burger had good flavor but was well done ( You dont get a choice) already had ketchup and mayo which i NEVER put on my burger. The toppings were very generous. The fish and chips my man ordered. Well the best part of both our meals was the fries. Portions are very generous but the quality was poor and not worth the cost read more

Such a fun place and vibe! My friends and I have gone multiple times for trivia! We always have so much fun! They really put a lot of work into the trivia with great questions and fun prizes! Love the themed cocktails that go with whatever trivia theme of the night! They have such good appetizers and entrees! And the staff is always super nice and friendly! Highly recommend! read more

This was our first time at Snakes & Lattes, and overall, it had a fun and laid-back vibe. They have an entire wall of board games, and for just $6 per person, you can hang out and play as many as you like. We ordered the fried pickles, bacon ranch dip, classic loaded poutine, and the Korean Fire Chicken Poutine. Everything was super flavorful--definitely comfort food done right. The only downside was that we had to ask for our drinks after a bit of a wait. Also, it was really warm inside. Not sure if the AC was off or just not working well, but it got pretty stuffy, which made it a little uncomfortable. We ended up leaving earlier than planned because of the heat. Would love to give it another shot, especially when it's cooler inside, because the food and concept are great! read more

Stopped in for late night snack after a festival in Tempe. Place was super cool!! Service was great. Food was on point! Good size portions and tasty!

We came here for brunch on a Saturday morning. It was pretty empty at 11 AM, but it was Easter weekend. It quickly filled up by the time we left an hour later. You can make reservations on OpenTable. Even though there are a lot of reviews that state the restaurant has bottomless, mimosas, they do not anymore. I had the breakfast quesadilla which was delicious. It was enough food for two people. My spouse equally loved the country fried steak breakfast. It was such a large portion he could only eat half. He said he was very impressed. There are many many board games that you can pay a price to play. They also have a Brunch gaming package to where you can pay to play and get a bottle of champagne. read more

Obsessed with this place! Snakes & Lattes is such a fun spot--great food, and the s'mores cold brew is top tier (especially if you add a shot of Rumplemintz... game changer). They also have a dice shot--you roll the die and get a shot from a numbered $6 shot lost, and you even get to keep the die! All the shot options we tried were actually good (6 of them), which was a nice surprise. You can play unlimited board games for just $6 per person, and they seriously have everything. Can't recommend it enough--10/10 will definitely be back! read more

I wanted to come here for the longest time, and I FINALLY made it!! I found out their brunch trivia morning on a Sunday and I committed to making it this time with my lovely friends!! The entire experience was lovely. The flow was smooth. There were no awkward moments and we were given plenty of time to order our food and beverages (via a QR code) eat, and chitchat with each other in between parts of the trivia game. The hosts were lovely and they sounded loud enough for everyone to hear (their AV system is great), so even if you're seated at a corner, you'll be fine. The trivia was hosted at one side of the venue, and I didn't get a chance to check out the other end, but it seemed like there was another birthday party going on at the same time. Now I have an excuse to go back! Of course, I'll have to check out the game wall at the corner thoroughly as well!! read more

Had a great time at Snakes & Lattes! The food was delicious and the drinks were fantastic. We really enjoyed sitting on the patio, and it was a huge plus that it's dog-friendly.

This was really fun! It's nicely decorated and very spacious. We were welcomed right away and told how it worked -- a server does come bring waters but you pay your game fee and do any orders online. I really liked this! It made it so easy to order whenever you felt like it and to have separate checks in a group. The game librarian also introduced himself and was really helpful in picking games. And they have a LOT of games. I had an Old Fashioned which was very well-made and served with a good cherry and a big cube. I also had a grilled cheese and tomato soup. Both were delicious and I think I'm a little picky about both. The other nice thing about ordering online is you can see available upgrades/changes and any associated prices. Change to a bourbon I like better for $1? Sure! Add tomato to my grilled cheese (not charge)? Yes please! There are several parking lots and garages within a very short walk. All parking in this area is pay parking but it was cheap. I think I paid $6 for 3 hours. Will definitely be coming back to this one! read more

I have been coming to Snakes & Lattes in Tempe for several years now. Every time I have stopped by, I have had a great experience. The food is excellent. I like that they have a nice selection of food on their menu. While everything on their menu I have tried has been great, their macaroni and cheese stands out the most. It is some of the best macaroni and cheese I have ever had. You can never go wrong with their desserts either. I have tried every dessert they offer, and they are all fantastic in their own way. To the best of my memory, Snakes & Lattes is where I had my first affogato. While I have had an affogato from several restaurants now, Snakes & Lattes is where I had my initial one. The affogato is a perfect combination of sweet and bitter. Their skillet cookie and waffle sundaes are also excellent choices if you are craving anything sweet. The staff is friendly and attentive. To my knowledge, the only time I have been there is during lunchtime, which tends to be their quietest time during business hours, as they have told me and from experience. Thus, I have had some friendly conversations with the staff about sports and what they enjoy doing for fun outside of work. Another thing I like about Snakes & Lattes is its low-key atmosphere. Not only are there many board games to play, but it is also a brilliant spot to unwind and get a breather in before resuming the workday. It also helps that Snakes & Lattes is within walking distance of my workplace. I would highly recommend Snakes & Lattes to anyone looking for a place to relax, play board games, and grab a bite to eat in downtown Tempe. read more

Game night done right! If learning a new board game feels harder than the game itself, Snakes & Lattes has you covered! Their game gurus will walk you through the rules, so you can focus on having fun. We played Hues & Cues (now sitting in my cart) & had a blast! They have a massive collection of games from classics to very niche. But it's not just about the games the food was surprisingly good too. We tried the wings, fries, & steak and enjoyed them all! Their patio is also dog friendly which is a huge plus for us. read more

Snakes and Lattes had great vibes. I met up with a group of people and we played games on a Saturday night. There's plenty of room, plenty of tables, and you use your phone to order. Once you've submitted your order, your food or drinks come out very quickly. They have a wide variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, which was great. I didn't see a ton of food going around, but the food I did see either looked delicious or tasted delicious. They have all kinds of board games--from party games to more complex strategy games. You basically pay a flat fee of $6 per person, and then you can play all night. We had people checking on us all the time, and it was a really good time overall. If I had to nitpick, the one thing I'd recommend is this: if you're going to be there for a while, bring a seat cushion. The benches are hard wood, and if you don't have a lot of natural padding, it's going to start to hurt. At least five people in our group, including myself, commented on how uncomfortable the benches and chairs were. So as dumb as it might sound, bring a cushion. I guarantee you'll come back and find me on Yelp just to send me a thank-you card and a gift certificate, because that's how happy you'll be that I told you to bring one. Otherwise, I fully recommend Snakes and Lattes. Great place, great vibes, great night. read more

GREAT IF YOU NEED TO KILL TIME AND LIKE PLAYING GAMES. However, I thought that the price was a little overkill. It was $5 a person I think for 2 hours. This is the first place like this we have been to so maybe that is average? Not sure. But it wouldn't take that many times to visit to buy a game. There are A TON of games to choose from though so if you are a group that likes to play something different every time it is perfect. We thought the way you had to order on your phones is VERY confusing. We are all 29 so it is not like we are not used to technology either. You add it to a tab and then they immediately start making it. We thought you had to check out and then they bring it which makes so much more sense to me. Also, you add the game play onto your tab as well instead of just paying someone. It is a good idea but I don't think their app quite works good enough yet to have that be the only option. We really just wanted to order from a person after messing with the app. We had drinks. They were average and a desert which was also average. read more

Wow. We're staying at the Omni for a Christmas getaway and felt like burgers. Mill Avenue has no shortage of places to get a burger, but the menu posted outside looked good so we decided to grab some take out. (Plus the name of the place honestly made me curious.) We ordered at the bar and the bartender was kind and funny. Then we looked at the GAME WALL. Board games, card games, adult games, kids games... and to go along with so many games was a GAME LIBRARIAN!!! (How cool is that?!?!?!?). I really wanted to stay, but we needed to go, so my husband dragged me kicking and screaming out the door and back to the hotel. Let's fast forward to the most important part of this review: the food. I got the 6th Street Burger, my husband got the Bacon Cheddar BBQ burger, and we shared the pickle chips. Here we go: 1. Pickle chips came with a spicy ranch. It was great. I wanted to lick the container! 2. My 6th Street Burger ..... I took one bite and said, "Oh my god..." Very literally exactly what I said. It was so so good. Possibly the best burger I've ever had. 3. I just asked my husband what he'd like to say about his burger. It was a lot of swear words I shouldn't write, all positive. Imagine saying something really great, but he was in the Army, so he swears A LOT. 4. Fries... . Waffle sweet potato fries with ranch. Does it get better?!?!? This place is amazing. Come for the food, but stay and play games! This will be our plan next visit. Please don't miss this place. They deserve all the business they can get and then some. read more

We went to snakes and lattes Tempe last night, on a double date. We had such a fun time! We played so many new games and had a blast. The drinks were great, and we had so much fun with the mystery shots, and choosing our dice. The prices were very reasonable. There is a $6 charge per adult for access to the board games. The service was great, everything came out quickly, and the mystery shots were very interactive with the servers! All orders go in through the QR code, and not the servers though. We cannot wait to go back again soon!! (We had so much fun I didn't take a single picture) read more

We ordered the Fried Elote bites ,spinach and artichoke dip, latte( i dont remember which one we got), and the cold brew flight. Honestly, I would pass on the coffee. I've had their espresso martini before and that was probably my favorite drink. If you are going to get a cold brew ,then get the s'more one. The food is good as they are shareable and a great pairing when you're are there to play cards or board games. They have such a wide variety of games. I'm always learning how to play new games each time we visit. They are open late and the service was great. It is near ASU , so except to see a lot of college kids around. But if you're not someone who wants to go to the club but still wants to drink , then this is a good place to visit. Parking is not free but because we went later in the night we were able to park at the meters for free. We'll be visiting again for our next game nights date. read more

Service was great and they have a large game variety. The food was okay though I only had the club sandwich which I did like. I did try the mozzarella sticks and they were somehow already getting cold when they got to us so not the best. The drinks were also bad. I wasn't a fan of any of them and tried a few. However they have a great happy hour. Their best deals are probably their $3 mystery dice shot and their $7 draft beer pitchers. Overall it was a fun evening but not the best place to drink unless you plan to just do beer. The shots themselves were not great but they were cheap and it's a fun concept to roll the dice to pick what shot you'll get. The music was okay and the vibe was fine. But the food wasn't great and we weren't a fan of the drinks so it was a good one time thing. read more

Overall, an awesome concept! This is the perfect spot for a wholesome night out. For $6 you can rent board games during your visit. They have hundreds of games and even have a game librarian who provides you with insight on how to play games and can offer you suggestions on what game to play based on what you are in the mood for. They have a well priced happy house, large drink and food offering, and even offer "dice shots" where you roll a dice and whatever number it lands on determines what shot you get! To be honest you aren't coming here for the food, more as a spot to hangout. Tried the patty melt which was just okay, lacked some flavor. The BBQ chicken pizza was also average. The nachos were quite large but nothing special. Definitely recommend coming here with a group of friends for some casual fun. Interior is very inviting and a fun vibe! read more
