    Breakfast sandwich - eggs, cheese, bacon chipotle aioli (no avocado)
    Kate N.

    Loved this place! So fun - wonderful atmosphere, good food and great service. Our server was attentive and gave us some great recommendations. We all had delicious brunch food - I had the breakfast sandwich which was hot and so fresh, my son had the quesadilla and ate his and my potatoes...his girlfriend the breakfast burrito. We all agreed it was really good food and vibe - a real gem!

    Good horchataish drank
    Michael B.

    This has lots of seating and lots of people to Take advantage. I enjoyed my spiked horchata drink. My gripe though is they charge every player at a table $6 even for bringing their Own board games in to play and even if they'd ordered food/drink; so my table of 7 is layers gave $42 just for privilege to play for 2 hours. That's a little rich for my blood.

    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!

    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.

    Nachos and wings.
    Joyce W.

    "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!

    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.

    SO MUCH FUN!! Absolutely love coming here with friends and playing new games. The food and drinks are also very good and servers are all super friendly. One of my absolute favorites spots in the valley

    Mimosa flight!
    Mike D.

    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!! Overall rating: ****FOUR STARS**** Gluten-free rating: ****FOUR STARS****

    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!

    Americano before desert blooms

    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.

    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.

    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)

    Classic Poutine
    Heidi M.

    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!

    Ask the Community - Snakes & Lattes Tempe

    Good place to read?

    In my opinion, it's more designed for group settings and for playing board games with people. I would have a hard time reading there.

    If there is a specific game I want to play, am I able to bring my own game if I still pay the fee?

    Yes! You can absolutely bring in your own games! If you are curious what games we have, you can go to our website: www.snakesandlattes.com and scroll down and the games are listed by type but you can also type in a certain game and it will even tell… Read more

    Can dogs come inside?

    Yes

    Is it loud?

    There are 3 times it is loud. Wednesday for Trivia (7pm) and Friday and Satruday night after 8pm. Rest of the time it's pretty chill.

    Can you make a reservation for a group?

    Hey Mallory! You are more than welcome to make a group reservation either over the phone or on OpenTable. For parties larger than 15, I would recommend calling so we can get all the detail figured out. Our phone number 480.361.6644. Thanks for… Read more

    Do you have patio seeting?

    We do! We have 3 outdoor patios in fact! All three are pet friendly!

    Do they offer bottomless mimosas?

    Hi Jamee! We don't have the bottomless mimosas at this time, but we are working on a new brunch… Read more

    Does this place actually charge you to play their board games unlike most cafes that have em as well?

    They charge $5 per person which includes help from a game expert to explain the rules or suggest a game based on what you like. For example, we had a short time and wanted a new challenge for two, so we played a fun patchwork quilt game

    Is smoking allowed on the patio?

    From what I saw no smoking was not allowed but they did allow dogs on the patio

    Can I host an event here? Who should I call to discuss options?

    If you call the main number, you will be directed to the manager who can help you plan the perfect event

    Would this be a good place to work on homework?

    Yes. We have free wifi (password: boardgames) and we have outlets (reg & usb) all throughout the cafe including some of our tables.

    Do they have "Exploding Kittens"?

    Multiple copies!

    If a group brings in their own board games and orders drinks/food, are they still required to pay the $5 game fee each?

    Hi Daniel - the fee is for anyone playing games in the cafe, unless you come before noon. This way you get access to our amazing games, but also our game guru's are at your disposal. Hope to see you soon!

    Hi all! Is the patio dog friendly?

    Yes!

    Hi! I love this concept and want to come, but being from another state we don't have any friends to join in. Are there enough games to play with only 2 people?

    Hi Brit! We have a TON of 2 player games. In fact, if you look at our library we have marked most of the games with a blue sticker that show they work well for 2 players. So yes, there are plenty of games that work for 2. Games like Lost Cities, or… Read more

    Is this for 21+ only? Great! Thank you for your quick response!!

    Nope! We appeal to all age groups. Games should be played and enjoyed by everyone. Ps we don’t kick under 21 year olds at 10pm like a lot of places near us do.

    Do we have to pay to play games? We just want to eat?

    Hello Sandra! Great question. If you come in just to enjoy our great menu, you don't have to pay the $5 game fee.… Read more

Our visit started out poorly because we spent 30 minutes driving around looking for a place to park. The front desk sent us to a valet that didn't exist and we almost left. My husband persisted and we finally found a spot. But it took way too long driving around in circles. After that drama, We had a pretty fast dinner but I really enjoyed it. First drinks. My husband got a cocktail. I wanted to order a mocktail but they didn't have a mocktail menu or any non alcoholic drinks anywhere. The waiter tried to describe them but that didn't work. Please get a menu. Ended up with lemonade bc I didn't know what to order. We ordered the tuna ceviche appetizer with plantain chips. I don't normally order things with chips but It was delicious! Great spicy kick and definitely the best thing I ate. Loved it. For dinner I ordered the lamb. I also really enjoyed this so much. The lamb was delicious (a bit unseasoned though). Also the garbanzo dish that came with it was unbelievably great! I was actually amazed that a side could be so good and I just wanted more of it. My husband ordered the seabass. Unfortunately it was underseasoned and way overcooked. The side wasn't great either. He ended up eating one of my lamb pieces. The vibe of the restaurant was great and the waiter was helpful and friendly. Will return if I ever want to brave the parking situation again ! Side note for the business: the door on your last bathroom stall was installed backwards. I struggled inside bc there was no hook for my purse or sweater when I went in there. After I was done precariously balancing all my things on my lap, I found the hook outside the door (I checked and the other doors were installed correctly). Probably should fix that bc it was very annoying for women that need access to their purse in the bathroom.

    I've been here a total of four times prior and never had complaints. Today was different. I…read moreunderstand the changes of seasonal menu but I just seem like the recent menu had no main concept. My boyfriend got the pizza and it tasted as if it were a frozen pizza. I got the bang bang shrimp and it was good (6/10). The problem that I have is the pistachio gin fizz was an absolute no! I am a HUGE fan of pistachio and gin so immediately I had to get his drink but it was beyond mediocre. Are we drinking only syrup??? My last complaint is the coconut tres leches dessert.... Do we actually know how to make tres leches or we just naming desserts however we want? Just curious. It came out super hot, steaming more like a molten cake. As a Hispanic woman, I was expecting a creamy moist cake to celebrate my graduation but this was not it as well. Last but not least if the bald manager with the orange shirt wants to eat in the back of the kitchen, not the problem I get it (I work at restaurants) HOWEVER shoving your two index fingers into your mouth to get your debris out was my last straw. Like I said I like this restaurant and never had problems but today felt like a fever dream there.

I actually Yelp'd it prior to going and the menu I saw a pic of in Yelp is no longer the brunch menu. When I asked about a substitution they did not hesitate and the chef was all over making me my meal! The service is also really great here and everyone is super friendly. They offer, breakfast, brunch on the weekends, lunch and dinner so I would get over and try!

    If you blink, you might drive right past this little bar and grill, as it's set back offv the road…read moresnuggled up next to a bigger building. There is plenty of bar space if you're popping in for a drink.. of course, the actual bar that runs along the shelves of liquor, and there is also a bar on the other side of a roll-up door, perfect for people who come with dogs. There's also a bar space that runs along the window that separates the small dining room and the patio. There are a few tables inside as well as some bigger tables on the patio. The patio is nice with lots of shrubs right outside the rail. The murals on the wall are pretty darn cool - - they're like enlarged historic photos of the area. I love them! And I'm not sure who's giant face is hanging on the ceiling but it's short a spark conversation. The menu here has a little something for everyone. There's the regular loaded fries and wings, salads, and a nice election burgers. We ordered the Philly Salad and the Very Summer Salad with a side order of fries. They make their own ranch, and it is good. I will say they don't seem to skim on salad ingredients either - - the Philly salad was covered with shaved beef, and my berry salad had a lot of chicken and tons of blue cheese. The fries were delicious - - slightly seasoned and crispy. This place is clearly dog friendly. In fact the day we went there was a sweet Pitbull named Daisy who literally hopped up on a bar stool and sat there like a little angel the entire time. The bar had a dog full of water that they sat down on the counter next to her owner's beer. They also have dog biscuits to give. It made my day to see that sweet little dog hanging at the bar having a treat. This really is kind of a spot that feels like it's probably the hangout spot of many people. Great bar food and a good selection of beers. What's not to love?

    Hubby & I had dinner here last Friday. The restaurant was not what we expected…read more It is much smaller than we thought. They have the roll up windows /doors open. They did have misters for some of the outdoor seating. We were able to find a table inside. You go up to the bar to place drink & food orders. The staff were friendly & helpful. The music was loud. Hubby got a beer & I got Tito's & cranberry juice. Hubby got the wings & onion rings. I got the Create Your Own Burger without tomato. The drinks were good. Hubby loved the wings. The onion rings were good. The burger was excellent! I don't know what they do different, but it was really good. The fries were good too. I'm not sure that we will be back since it's a bit of a haul for us.

    My Yelp bestie Ariana and I recently had dinner at Top of the Rock at the Marriott Phoenix Resort…read moreTempe at The Buttes. The biggest draw is definitely the view. We arrived in time for sunset, and it did not disappoint. Watching the sunset over the Phoenix skyline made for a beautiful evening, and the restaurant itself has a unique atmosphere. We had a 7:30 reservation and were checked in right on time, we were seated outside, but there was very little shade, and unfortunately it was a hot, humid, and windy evening, so it wasn't the most comfortable dining experience. Our server, Sergio, was friendly, but we had to ask several times for water refills. One of the highlights before the meal was the complimentary bread service. The bread and butter were delicious, and the staff member who brought it out took the time to explain each item on the board which was a nice touch. The food was good. The 8 oz filet mignon was cooked perfectly and was the highlight of the meal, tender, flavorful, and worth ordering. We had enjoyed the desserts. The chocolate mousse was rich and creamy, and the Pavlova was light, fresh, and beautifully presented with berries. That said, the outdoor seating wasn't quite as relaxing as we expected. It was pretty windy the evening we visited, which made dining outside a little uncomfortable. The resort Pool is directly below the patio, and there happened to be a party going on, so there was quite a bit of noise. The restaurant also overlooks the freeway. Traffic wasn't heavy during our visit, but I imagine the road noise and air quality could be more noticeable during busier times. Overall, if you are looking for a scenic dinner with a memorable sunset, top of the rock is worth visiting. Just be prepared for the weather if you sit outside and know that the ambiance can depend on what's happening around the resort. The steak alone is reason enough to come back.

My girlfriend loved the views, but if I'm being honest, I was a bit underwhelmed. I'm from San Diego and I've seen far better. A view overlooking the freeway just isn't all that impressive to me personally. Still, I've passed this place on the freeway so many times and always wondered about it, so it felt special to finally check it off the list. We arrived about 10 minutes late, and I'll say the host that greeted us was a bit rude. We waited a few minutes before he took us back to our table. I will say there's an odd smell when you first walked in and I'm grateful that we sat outside. Once we sat down though, our waitress was attentive the entire night. We started with the charcuterie board, which honestly felt a little basic to me. The smoked Gouda was fine, but I would've preferred something sharper like an aged Gouda, and a more thoughtfully curated spread overall. The meats were okay, nothing that really stood out. On the drinks side, I tried two. The berry limeade was absolutely delicious, highly recommend that one! The traditional margarita though? Not it. Way too sweet for my taste. I don't think most Americans really know what a true margarita is supposed to be. I was hoping for something less sweet and more authentic. It is what it is, I drank it anyway (more because of the price than anything). But the entrées? Spot on. My girlfriend got the Miso Glazed Sea Bass served over potato purée with asparagus and a citrus beurre blanc. She said it was delicious. I had the Seasonal Ravioli with grana padano, white truffle oil, and added wild mushrooms on top. Incredible flavor, did not disappoint. I will say though, the ravioli plating wasn't all that appetizing. The sauce color came off bland and boring, and a little garnish like some micro greens on top could've gone a long way to elevate it. For a place like this (and the price), I expect the plating to be just as on point as the flavor. I'd say the same for the table setting, lighting and cleanliness of the table, I'd really rate that C level. Our waitress surprised us with complimentary champagne for the birthday, which was such a sweet touch. No clue what it was, but it was so good she ordered a second glass. They also brought us a small dessert that said Happy 40th Birthday for my girlfriend, which was really thoughtful. And the sunset? That part was genuinely beautiful. We got some great photos. All in all, a decent experience overall. It's pricey, and not somewhere I'd rush back to, but for a special occasion every now and then? Worth it to my GF and that's all that matters at the end of the day because it was her birthday celebration.

The bread on the sandwich was tough, the bacon bits were chewy, hard knots, and the sandwich was dry overall. The sweet potato fries were greasy and tough and not hot. Nothing about what I ordered today was good with the exception of the appetizer, which was the Crisp Korean Brussels and Cauliflower. It was hot, delicious and plentiful so I did not go hungry. Our server was friendly and prompt. He was very quick to refill my drink. I will say that both my chair and our table rocked terribly, so was not very comfortable. Hoping for a better experience on my next visit.
