The food I tried (French fries and a Twilight Milk Tea bubble tea) was delicious. And the menu is pretty clear to warn when most dishes include allergens (it's a bit spotty on eggs, and doesn't warn about dairy at all), so be aware of that if you have any allergies or intolerances. And I'm not blaming the staff here AT ALL, but something I've encountered at multiple bubble tea shops in the city as someone who is casein intolerant (that's the protein in milk, unlike lactose, which is the sugar and what most people think of when you say you can't have dairy), is that they claim they use a dairy-free creamer for their milk teas, when it's likely actually just lactose-free (which is still no good for me, since casein is the problem). Casein is something that is also separated from milk and made into various caseinates, used as an emulsifier in tons of things (processed meats, breads, pastas - even paint for some reason). And I react to it the same way someone with celiac disease would react to gluten - not with an immediate anaphylactic allergic reaction, but more like intestinal distress, chronic inflammation, brain fog, fatigue, etc. So I have learned to looked up a place's nutritional information in advance if I can. But Twilight Cafe doesn't list theirs online at all, so i have to assume they use the same creamer every other bubble tea shop claims is dairy-free, only to list online that it is NOT SAFE for milk allergies. And then I have to be the jerk who insists they still not use their "dairy-free" creamer in my drink and sub in something like oat or almond milk instead (thankfully, they DO offer these here - a lot of places only offer soy milk, which isn't great for me either). So yeah, all that to say, be careful if you have allergies or intolerances (as usual), make SURE to tell staff about them when ordering and remind them when they give you your order (to make sure they didn't forget and make your food the normal way if they were supposed to change it), and don't be afraid to ask for changes if you're not absolutely sure the regular option is safe. read more

We wanted some casual food, a space to sit on a mid Sunday afternoon around 3pm around Eaton Center and stumbled upon this cafe. The location is conveniently located behind Yonge Dundas square on Victoria street with a clean and modern interior. It's a great place for friends to chill and there's a board game selection that's $6/person if you wish to play. We ordered food and we're pleasantly surprised with the taste, presentation and portion size. Everything came out at pretty much the same time and I am deducting a star due to the dumplings dish. My friend described it as frozen dumplings you would get in grocery stars and it came without garnish, only dipping sauce. The salted rose latte was delicious with a layer of cream foam on top which blended well with the coffee and sweetened with the rose petals. There's a bell which you press to get the waiter to come and the seats are cushioned and table space is ample. I would come back again to play some board games or just chill with friends. Their mock tails and cocktails also look pretty too. read more

Twilight cafe is located close to Yonge and Dundas. I got lost my first time coming here because of google maps. They charge $6 per hr for first two hours and then it's $3 per hr afterwards. It's not mandatory to buy food or beverages. They have free water as well. They had a good amount of games and I had fun with my group. Ordering was also a breeze as we just pressed the button to get a staff over. One of my friends is Muslim and we noticed that the menu mentioned that the burger is halal, however next to it, it states that there's Bacon. We asked the staff and they said it was pork. This is kind of conflicting as it's technically not halal with the bacon. You can opt out for the bacon but just be clear with the staff. I ordered the matcha basque cheesecake and it was kind of disappointing. It was small and it was cold. It was aesthetic and all but not worth $8.50 in my opinion. Overall I think this spot is great to hangout and catchup with friends over boardgames but I wouldn't necessarily come here for the food. read more

I had a great time at Twilight Cafe, having lunch and playing boardgames with some friends. I liked that this boardgame cafe has a more diverse menu compared to others I've been in the past. They have a wide range of drinks (alcoholic ones also), main dishes and even desserts. I had the unagi rice which cames with a side salad and a nice softboiled egg. It was filling and was a pretty good portion size. My friends ordered a fancy fruit egg waffles which was very impressive. There are two walls of shelving stacked with games to choose from. I liked that they had a wide variety, from quick two player games to longer more complex game play. A very convenient location right by Yonge and Dundas! read more

Twilight is a super cute game cafe! It was walking distance from my hotel. I walked in and was immediately greeted and escorted to a table by a friendly employee. There were groups of friends sitting at various tables through the cafe either visiting or playing games. There was a larger area in the back half where larger groups of people can sit together. I saw several couples walk in on dates. This is an excellent date place. It's also a fun place to meet someone for the first time. There are lots of games to choose from to make for a fun time. It's $6 to play games. All of the games seem be in good condition, not overly used and ratty. The drink menu was pretty extensive with options for alcoholic beverages, teas, lattes. There is something for everyone. I ordered the Taiwanese pork. It was flavorful and an excellent choice in my opinion. I would have preferred the greens come out on a separate plate because I didn't like that touching the warm food but that's a personal preference. I also ordered tiramisu to go. I had planned to only eat half of it that evening and save the rest for later. Alas, my plan was doomed to fail the moment I tasted it. It was absolutely perfect with just the right amount of sweetness. This is worth a try for a fun night with friends, a cute place to meet for the first time time so there isn't awkward silence, or a fun date night. read more

Came here with a friend to catch up. It was quite busy for a Tuesday at 4 pm, we had to get seated at the bar since there were no available table seats unfortunately. As a result, we weren't able to play any board games. The atmosphere of this place was beautiful: it was well decorated, pretty lights. I will say, due to it being busy (and also a board game cafe), it was pretty loud despite my friend and I sitting pretty distant from the main area. It was hard for us to talk to each other at times due to the noise. We ordered the gyudon rice, tiramisu, pink grapefruit, and twilight bailey milk tea. The gyudon rice was surprisingly filling and tasty, the beef was tough and stuck together at some points making it really hard to chew. The tiramisu had a good flavour but there was way too much cocoa powder dusted on top that we had to remove some while eating it otherwise it ruined the dish. The drinks were much better than the food, the pink grapefruit being the better of the two ordered. It was refreshing, had a good grapefruit taste, and was decently sized. The alcoholic drink was decent, it tasted like what you would expect from a milk tea mixed with Bailey's. Overall, this place is a good place to sit down, talk, and play some games with friends as well as grab some drinks. Make sure to book a reservation if you have a bigger group as this place can get quite busy especially during peak hours. read more

Cute board game cafe! It's conveniently located near Yonge Dundas Square and stays open late - perfect for chilling with friends. They have a big selection of board games to choose from, not to mention the interior is clean & modern. Their food and drinks are a bit pricey for the amount you get, but everything is pretty delicious. I liked their Green Forest drink the most (refreshingly fruity with a bit of mint) but the entire menu is full of good options. Service is okay - the counter staff is young and a bit disorganized but luckily the cafe is mainly self-service. read more

Overall a great place to spend time with friends, grab food and have a drink. I would rate it higher but my last visit left me feeling as if I wasn't supposed to be there. My first visit was amazing and the staff were friendly and kind. My second, quite the opposite. read more

Location/Service This place is located very close to Eaton Centre - right across Toronto Metropolitan University - so very accessible for cars or public transit. This place is a lot bigger than I anticipated, with multiple small tables or large tables - including gaming rooms available. I think the private rooms would require a reservation. Very modern and good lightning that is perfect for playing games. Staff is nice and will try to explain as much as they can in terms of the available games or menu items. Food/experience There is a standard fee to play - food/drinks are extra - but it is worth to try them if you want to add in an actual meal. Their drinks are pretty standard - with the usual cafe style and bubble tea setup. What surprised me were their food - I tried their truffle oil pasta and it was absolutely delicious! Nice portion size and a huge flavour of the truffle oil. Adding in the mushrooms really blend well and I was completely stuffed. Their popcorn chicken is also great to share - it's snackable size and it's not overly fried or oily. I would also reco the nacho salsa dip, which was again huge in portion size to share. As for games, they have a variety of party games, strategic games and even Chinese related games. Depending on how many people and what kind of games they like - there is a good choice for everyone. read more

Stumbled upon on the place randomly and decided to check it out a Sunday late night. It was busy despite it was late. They have a reasonable amount of space but it is still limited, they do offer a private room for a party. The room is all brightly light with purple and blue lights. The Tv displayed the different YouTube music videos. There is a wall full of games to choose from. They had a large selection of games including some that I played in my childhood. The service was quick, they were accommodating enough to find us another place to sit when I declined sitting by the door (it was freezing) which was appreciated. While playing the game, tried the waffle and it was good, not as sweet. The latte was warm & the bubble tea was tasty. Overall, had a great time. read more

Very fun place to go as in a group as you have more options for the games, but they also have great options for just two people. I've seen people who go here to study, or to eat as they have great food and drinks. If you are playing a game, you do have to pay $6 entrence fee as of May 2024- could change in the future I guess. As the place is busy, they have a call button to place an order or to talk with staff. If you are in Toronto and you love board games, I definitely recommend! read more

Fun little board game cafe in downtown Toronto. . . They got a variety of coffee, bubble tea drinks as well as Taiwanese food, pasta and desserts. We tried the popcorn chicken and it was crispy on the outside and super juicy on the inside. Board games are $6 per person per 2hrs of gameplay. The store itself is pretty small and the day we went, it was packed to the max which made it hard to walk around. Games feel new and clean which is nice. read more

What an accidental find this was! I was looking for a place to eat that was open late around the eaton centre area and I took a chance on twilight cafe. The place has a nice vibe with a most of the patrons enjoying board games. Music in the background, high ceilings and good illumination make it very inviting. If this all seems good too to you, wait till you try their food. Top quality stuff that beat my expectation. I tried the taiwanese braised pork rice, iced orange americano and tiramisu and all turned out to be delicious. They have a menu that covers a wide variety of dishes absolutely waiting to be tried. Must visit even if board games aren't your thing. read more

The vibe is so cute of this place. We came here go study and have a snack but I'm underwhelmed. Food is so mid. The Taiwanese friend chicken tastes more like pork and smells like oil tbh. I also waited 30+ minutes for it. Service is sooo slow. My friend waited 25 minutes for an egg sandwich I won't be returning. read more

Came here with a group on Friday evening for some boardgames and it was packed! This new location is so much more spacious and inviting than the Midland location. More seats and also private rooms. They have a huge selection of boardgames and party games, including Asian favourites, Mahjong! We had low expectations for food since it's a boardgame cafe but they are surprisingly decent. We ordered a beef don, Truffles pasta, Taiwanese chicken and nachos salsa dip to share. They were all tasty and great portion. Drinks are yummy too! read more

It's amazing to see a board game cafe open up in the heart of Downtown Toronto. The decor is super trendy and is definitely popular amongst teenagers and University students. For me, their food is worth raving about. Usually, you would go to a board game cafe just to play games and chill with friends. I actually think it's worth coming just for the dinner and drinks. Our group really liked the popcorn chicken, and no complaints at all for any drinks. I'm excited to come back again! read more

A group of friends came to play board games. The menu says "To sit in store or to play our board games, all customers must purchase minimum one item per person every 2 hours or pay a store fee". We decided to all purchase a drink, assuming this would waive the need to pay a store fee. When we were charged for both, the employee argued that the menu says we have to pay for both. We were very confused how that sentence could be interpreted as paying both but the employee was being rude and we didn't want to deal with it so we just paid. Anyways just a forewarning, there's a $6 fee regardless if you buy anything. The menu is misleading. read more

The food was enjoyable, however, the service was abysmal. The food took forever to get to our table and the kitchen was lacking in a lot of items. The most disappointing thing was the sangria pitcher. On the menu it said we would get a 2L sangria pitcher for $48. The pitcher that they brought (came way after the food, by the way) and was in a 750ml pitcher. We asked for an actual 2L pitcher and the waiter just brought back a slightly larger pitcher (still not 2L). One of my friends went and had a chat with the waiter about this, and the waiter came back and gave us a bit of attitude. He came back and gave us a silly explanation about how the sangria is only 1L and then they add the fruit and ice and it fills the pitcher, which doesn't really address our gripe with the drink since the pitcher is still not a 2L pitcher. He told us since there's nothing wrong with the drink that he can't take it back. He did give us a 10% discount but this incident plus the other issues with the service really soured the night. read more

Service isn't the best. The food is over priced honestly they offer board games however most the seats are too small. Untop of that there is a sign that says that there is a 6$ minimum person but don't mention that they tack on 6$ per person. There are better places to go to . read more
