First time coming here. Upon entering, it's a bit confusing as to where you're supposed to go. The front desk is tucked away in the back and there were tables/guests blocking the walk way so it was difficult to see where to check in. I got a table in the main area with 2 of my friends. You have to pay a minimum of $15 per person, but for my party, it was a collective of $45 split between the 3 of us. We ended up ordering 3 drinks, 1 French fry, and 1 sweet potato friends. Unlimited game play and you can stay for however long you want. The food and drinks were mediocre but we still enjoyed our time here. They have a decent amount of board games to choose from. They have about 6 private rooms that you can book with your friends if you wanted more privacy. The main area can get loud and crowded as the tables are placed side by side from each other. I saw some mahjong tables and poker sets too. Overall, we enjoyed our time here and we like that it stays open until 2AM. Service was OK. One of the staff members was kind enough to recommend some games too. read more

Location/Service This place is the intersection of Warden and Denison - within a small commercial/business plaza. There's plenty of parking there and it's not usually packed. Interior is completed renovated - it's quite nice and a lot more classy than it initially first started. There are different rooms - dedicated to either Mahjong or Murder Mystery or just simple board games. Staff spoke mostly in Mandarin - generally pretty nice when we dropped by. Setup/Drinks You can either do a min $25 per person to play board games - which can include drinks to order. No time limit (I believe). A wide variety of Chinese/English games available - so there should be something available for your liking. You can also do Murder Mystery - this is in Mandarin - and it's around $30-$40. Basically you are given a role and you retell your story and find out from others who would be the killer. The staff would be a facilitator to help navigate/direct flow of the game. You can also do Mahjong - this is around $100-$125 per table, no time limit. Drinks are extra though - we ended up getting a free drink because the owner was a little nice to us for coming in for the first time. And there was a small hiccup with the mahjong table - which is an automated one, where it would auto shuffle and assemble for you. For drinks, I won't comment too much - it was pretty basic - and it ranges from bubble tea to slushies to just flower tea. The mahjong table was pretty cool - and since it was our first time coming in after their renovation, it was a nice try. We ended up staying there for almost 3-4 hours, just you know cause it's mahjong. I feel this place is more opened to the Mandarin population and not out to the public. They do have a WeChat account and you can talk to the owner directly to setup any gaming preferences. read more

A nice game room tucked away in a plaza with free parking. Great menu with lots of drinks and food to choose from. I got iced green tea, and have to say it's one of the nicest iced green tea I have gotten in a while. The taste is so nice and fragrant. My friends and I decided to play Monopoly. The board game version was unfamiliar to me. Actually it was very worned down and the board was literally torn in half, so we had to be careful not to agitate it too much, otherwise objects on the board game would be out of place. Sanitation was lacking. The floor was a bit sticky, and the washroom.... ew. There was also a time limit placed on staying there to play games - 3 hours. We only stayed for two hours, but since the place was not jam packed, i didn't think it would matter much, but that's just me guessing. read more

Stay away! So many rules and the food is (in a nice way of saying it), crap. I have never been to a board game cafe-- let alone any food place-- as disappointing as this. Not impressed at all. First, I was set off by so many rules they laid out for you. One, to which you have to purchase an item of food/drink every 3 hours, which is understandable. But the food is such poor quality! I will get to that later. Another rule is that you are only allowed 2 glasses of water and no more. That raised a red flag. Is this even legal? You are not even allowed to bring your OWN water. Okay let's talk about the food. I got the coconut toast (~$6) and the menu picture shows a nice caramelized top. I was so disappointed by what was placed before me. First off, what was on the plate, looks different than the picture. My toast had a giant yellow wet patch on top, and was confused on what it was. It smelled like butter, and was iffy about it, but I went with it. It had a mild taste of coconut, but it wasn't what I expected. In addition to false advertising, the quality they have for food was the deal breaker for me that led me straight to giving this place a 1 star. 1) the bread was DRY AS HECK. As I cut into it, it was as dense as a pound cake and as tough as a week old bun. It was so dry that there were WHITE SPECKS on it! I could shred the bread apart with my fork. I don't even know if you can even find stale bread like this at the discount section of the grocery store. 2) As if it couldn't get any worse, my toast wasn't even toasted-- at all. It was a plain dry bun. So my coconut toast was not toasted nor did it have much coconut flavour. I was shocked. The fact that they were willing to serve such gross food says something about them. My friend ordered a tapioca slush, to which tastes terrible. In addition, all the drinks were all served in plastic take aways. Which makes sense because if they can't afford to serve water to guests, they can't afford to wash dishes, right? Sure the place looks clean and decent, though very empty on a Sunday evening, with just 3-4 other tables filled. I wonder why the place isn't popular. At least they were able to bend the rule of no splitting bills because it wasn't busy. I really appreciate that they didn't make me pay for my order, after discussing with them that I wasn't happy. That made things better and I considered bumping their rating to a 2/5, but I predict this place will go bankrupt soon. Asian places have low standards in general, but this is so extreme. I would not come back nor would I recommend this place, sorry! read more

Came here for board games late at night on a tuesday night with some friends. Stayed here til close which was at 0130. Their game selection was pretty good, but their service was terrible. There were missing markers in some games, but they couldn't necessarily replenish the dry erase markers. They also weren't clear about minimum seating price. They also forgot one of my friend's food orders. Their drinks were okay, their dessert was okay, but nothing special. Still a really good place to pass time and have some friends play games. read more

it wasn't my dream cafe and the place was very dirty I left immediately without ordering. The management needs to improve.

My friends and I were looking for a games cafe to end our night on a fun note, and ended up driving up to Markham to try out this offbeat joint. It was hard to find (went at night, the area isn't too well lit admittedly) but once we did, we were seated right away. The vibe in this place was casual but strong - gamers going hard at mahjong tables and friends animatedly competing in various board and card games. The decor didn't impress - the whole establishment generally seems a bit worn down and outdated. I loved the selection of games, and my friends enjoyed their bubble teas (I didn't buy one) but the real selling point for me was that none of us had to pay a separate cover fee just to play games there! Would love to come back here with the gang on a chill night out (when quarantine life ends). read more

Honestly, I really wanted to give this place more stars, due to the variety of games, the roominess, the decor etc. But it doesnt deserve recognition as a cafe if theyre this inconsistent. If I knew the food was going to be THIS bad, I wouldn't have even considered ordering any, and would've happily obliged just paying a $3.99 sitting fee. :( Green Tea Buttercream Toast ~$4.99 - It looked really unappealing, like bird poop plopped onto half the surface. The bread was wayyy too stale and wayyy too chewy (because it was slightly soggy - essentially if i grazed a knife on the surface, it'd be disappointing to hear; actually you wouldn't hear anything because there's absolutely no crunchiness). The green tea buttercream was the only source to combat the dry toast but was lacking. Vanilla Icecream Waffle ~ $8.99 - I thought maybe in comparison it'd be much better than the toast. All's fair in redemption.. but no! The waffle batter was missing every single protein (egg) /dairy component in it I swear. It was so dry and dense that with every bite I felt like I could choke. I applaud them for at least knowing how to scoop icecream and cut up bananas and strawberries. Why... just why... We didn't really mention anything from the above, but even when asking for water, I had to go up to grab it since the servers were not very responsive. I can't believe they had the guts to serve us stale food and even so, we did not dare try out the bubble tea as dry as the food was and as thirsty as we were (plus my friend was a huge bubble tea fanatic - so that was a clear indication of how shocked we both were.) .... Im just really envious towards my friends who've told me they had good snacks here. I'll give it another chance.. sometime in the distant future. TL;DR - food sucks, come here for games only read more

This boardgame cafe. Has been around for a long time and have been here a few times. The price of food is overpriced. The drinks are about average when it comes to boardgame bubbletea places. Although decor is nice. And the boardgame selection is plentiful. This place is chronically understaffed Weve ordered food here. And it does take a long time when it is a busy weekend night. And food is largely inconsisent. It is very salty most of the time when it comes to the food. And popcorn chicken is overpriced. The service is subpar. However most peopl come to this place for one reason which is the games available and the comfortable environment. The place has mahjong tables as well. Along with poker though i would not play poker here since its popular with teenagers and therefore loud. Overall as a neighbourhood place it is good. Since not overly pricey and offers variety of games. I would suggest thise around the area to go if they like board games read more

Love coming here for board games as this is one of the only board game cafes near me. They also open very late on weekends.They have quite a wide selection of board games, including the most popular ones and chinese ones. There are also a couple mahjong tables. Theres a lot of seating in the cafe and I've never had to wait. The food is not pricey, but it is not cheap. Only downside is it can get cold inside, probably because they don't turn up their heat. read more

Utopia Dream Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Markham, Ontario

So many people on weekends...... The place is great for casual gatherings with friends when you want to enjoy rounds of board games or have loud chats in general. It's perfect if you're looking for a vibrant environment, because the place is super busy and sometimes you have to yell over people. Food wise the place is pretty average. Bubble teas can't compare with real teashops like Chattime, but the price is like them... They offer a large collection of both Chinese and Western board games, plus majong tables. Be sure to ask the server for pokers because they don't keep them out read more

Great place for mahjong and board/card games in Markham. Downside is that a lot of the board games have been worn down from usage over time. The mahjong tables have an hourly fee, for the traditional tables they're $5 per hour and the automatic tables are $10 per hour. Relatively cheap compared to other mahjong places. They also have numerous "rule" such as minimum one food/drink per person for every 3 hours and they automatically charge 10% service charge if you plan on going with a group of 8 or more. The service here isn't the best either, very slow. They also only provide you with a maximum of 2 cups of water per person if you decide not to get a drink. Also make sure to have cash or your debit card if you plan on coming here they don't accept credit cards. Their milk tea here isn't the greatest either, taste just like powder but they do have a large selection of drinks and food here as well. They have entrees, snacks, desserts and soup. However, I wasn't a fan of their food either, haha. It may look good but the taste was far off from the flavour! This place does have wifi though!

Utopia Dream Cafe - Their "rules" - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Board game cafe on Warden north of steeles. I don't think there are too many board game places in markham so this isn't a bad place given its location. Omescape is nearby and has a lot more games, but I don't think they have food and it's $10 to play, so this place might be better. There are a lot of seats, whether you want the booths, or some small or large tables. There are mahjong tables available as well. Washroom is no good however. Their menu comes with a lot of different foods, drinks, and desserts. They have a rule that a drink only covers 3 hours worth of games. I don't know how they enforce it but presumably they'll come around at the 3-hour mark and ask you to buy something again. Ordered an original black milk tea, but there wasn't much flavour. Decent collection of board games. Lots of chinese versions of familiar games as well as english versions. Some games are worn or falling apart but they still work. They have monopoly. read more

I've been going to board games here for a while & it's always a good time. The board game selection is great because of the verity, however they do not have everything & their board games are kind of beat up. The food are good if you're just getting snacks. There is a great selection of bubble tea drinks, almost any flavour you can think of. read more

It's a decent place for friends to hang out and play board games. There are a bunch of options but the popular ones are usually taken on popular nights. They also have majong too. The food is what it is but very overpriced for average food. read more

In all honesty, this is not the best place for food. I don't even remember what I ordered, just something sweet in a plastic cup. If you are here, it is because this one of the few board game places uptown and the food/drinks is just an excuse to access their game collection. The collection itself isn't bad, I've played four random games and all the pieces are there and in working order. They even have a helpful list on the side with the amount of time and number of people you will need. The environment is hit and miss. If it is mostly empty, it is a great space to play and relax for a couple hours. However, if you are seated beside a rowdy group and the majong tables are going at double time, you won't be able to hear yourself think. The service is pretty much hands off the moment you order and have your drink/food delivered, so be prepared to wave them down to get their attention. read more

Super loud, not many games. If you do find a good game it's hella sticky and sometimes missing pieces. The waitress got all my 3/4 drinks wrong so another waitress had to help us fix everything. Super loud Asian populated board game place. Yea, o and my boyfriend got a belly ache read more

I've been here a couple times (all suggested by my friends) and I can't say I've enjoyed it. There are a fair amount of board games, which I guess is the redeeming factor. Drinks are meh. I've definitely had better elsewhere. Atmosphere is LOUD. Everyone is yelling in Mandarin so you in turn, also have to yell across your own table to have a conversation (the vicious cycle of yelling). This in itself, isn't so bad. People who have been to HK cafes know they're just as loud. However, I'm here to chill and converse, and not just eat and drink, so it changes things a bit. The tables just feel nasty. Sticky substances everywhere. Bring your own board games at your own risk because they will become sticky and gross. Service also sucks. You can never seem to wave servers down. When you do wave them down and get an order in, it takes awhile to get to you. I once spilled water on the table and asked for napkins. The girl looks at how much water is spilled (half a cup) and comes back with two flimsy napkins. Seriously? Are you that stingy with your napkins? read more

Went here this afternoon just to chill. The place is nicely decorated and spacious with a ton of board games on a couple tall shelves and a good amount of seating. It was empty when we were there in the afternoon. Service was good. Not everything might be available - we wanted a mango shaved ice (snowflake on the menu) but they didn't have it so we got a matcha red bean one instead. The portion was decent though the dessert itself tasted mostly like ice with a hint of matcha. Not nearly sweet enough and didn't taste that good. We also got a mango slush with tapioca and this was okay. It wasn't mixed very well as I think they soak their tapioca in sugar water and so the bottom was where all the sweetness was. The slush itself tasted fine though the tapioca took some time to chew and was harder than usual. Overall not a super great experience but could be a good place if you want a drink and somewhere quiet to do work as there is free wi-fi. It was also a little awkward because there was zero music and also no one except us and the one server. read more

Utopia Dream Cafe - Matcha red bean snowflake (shaved ice). Tasted mostly like ice with a hint of bitterness from the matcha. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Last night I went with a group of friends. Upon entering, the owner said the minimum spend was $20 however when we paid the bill they magically upraised to a $25 minimum spend without tell us beforehand. In addition, all the food and drinks are super expensive now, like $15.99 for a drink!! They also automatically charge a fixed tip percentage prior to paying. I would avoid this place for unethical practices. read more

Finding it was the biggest problem. It was around the back in a plaza, but the signs were not all there. We went on a late Saturday evening and the place was PACKED. We really went there because we were hungry and just needed some food, so we didn't really play any of the games that were available. It looked like there was a decent collection for patrons to choose from. The food was decent, although the service was not the greatest. Most of us got our food within a fair time period, but two of our friends waited forever and had to remind the staff a few times before they were finally served. The establishment was not the cleanest, but it served its purpose for a late-night meal. Probably would not return. read more

Perfect place to lay low and hang out with a group of friends. Good variety of games. I would say 60% of them are not in English and doesn't have English instructions. They did have other popular games such as apples to apples, monopoly (different versions), cards against humanity, Jenga, and more. The food however is very basic and didn't really do me. We had the octopus balls, ice cream sundae, crepe, and bubble tea. Nothing was out of the ordinary, and tasted very plain. I felt the price was too high for the food we got. The staff also was not very engaging with us. Even to order we had to call them, maybe that is common in a game cafe. read more

Utopia Dream Tea is now under new management with a brand new look and new menu.

Popped into this place as it's close to our office and it's a hot hot day (for once). Ordered a mango slush and a passion fruit green tea. The drinks were pretty good. The thing that really irked me, as an animal lover, is a turtle in a really small aquarium. It looked like it was suffering. For that reason I could never come back here. I asked the owner why they had a turtle and he replied it was for good luck to bring in more money. Poor turtle. Wanted to report these guys but just didn't have the heart to do so. Thus I chose to boycott it instead. read more

Food and drinks were bad and everything is overpriced. The service wasn't good either. Games were all sticky, missing pieces and/or in Chinese. I would only come here for the mahjong tables, otherwise, literally any other board game cafe is better than this place. read more

For a Saturday late night hangout, it's a pretty good place. Tons of boardgames to keep you busy all night. This bubble tea joint is mostly for rich chinese kids that drive expensive nice cars. Therefore a lot of the boardgames are Chinese games I've never seen. Thank goodness they have Monopoly and Jenga! Parking is ok. It's always packed at night. Haven't tried their food but so far, the drinks were only ok. It tasted very powdery and sweet. I ordered the large Rose Milk Tea and by the end of the night my drink was still 3/4 full. (That's how bad it tasted..LOL) We came here as a group of 5. Each person is required to order at least one drink. We ended up staying for 3-4hrs. Overall, I would definitely go back - it's a fun way to spend a Saturday night :) but next time I'll order a small drink or food instead. read more

Utopia Dream Cafe - Large Rose Milk Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Markham, Ontario

They completely renovated the interior but the quality of the food and games were terrible. Minimum $25 per person and the drinks cost about 13-15$ each. I couldnt finish the milk tea because it tasted like dishwater and the tapioca was hard. there were super limited board games and half of them were missing pieces and they were straight up dirty. Plus they put a mandatory tip on the final bill without disclosing so it was about $33 each at the end even though everything was terrible. do not go here there are plenty of much better board game cafes. I never even write reviews but this had to be said. dont come here!! read more

Sticky tables. Missing boardgame pieces. Unpleasant drinks. Hair in tea. On the positive side, there were free tables available. read more

A relatively fun place to be with friends for enjoyment. They have quite the variety of board games that you will be able to find games that are the right fit for your friends and colleagues. There are a few things that needs improvement such as quality of service and drink quality, but I believe that the price is probably a factor to why this might be the case. It is very affordable in terms of spending a night out as pretty much for a drink per person, you are able to spend a couple of hours here chilling with friends. Tbh, the food is actually not too bad here. For a late night snack, I think this is actually a pretty decent place to be. I'm of the belief that this place should consider charging a premium, and if service and quality of food and drinks become similar to most bbt places in the area, people would definitely be long term clients and customers and would not mind the extra up charge. read more

The good: the great thing about this place is the price. All you have to do is buy a drink and you get to stay for a limited time (I think three hours), and the drinks are at a fair price and doesn't taste all that bad. However... The bad: in terms of environment... It feels nothing like what you would get at the other prestige board game places. It's losing its character. On the one side you get this fancy chalkboard wall (pretty cool) but it's paired with a brick wallpaper (alright...), and then you have a weird counter that doesn't know whether to hide the kitchen/staff area from its customers or not. I just felt it was off... The ugly: but that wasn't the worst part.. The board games are either super old or the pieces felt like they've been touched tens of thousands of times. Some even felt like they were falling apart. Had to make sure to wash my hands and sanitize after touching those pieces. Neutral: great for groups, they have lots of big tables. Good for mahjong, has a card table, and a few good selection of board games. It's open late, which is nice. Bring gloves if you want to play board games though ;p read more

Used to be a great place with great service, but my most recent experience with them was less than stellar. My friends and I called ahead to reserve a table, and the waitress told us that she would reserve a table but only for 30minutes. We got there in 15 minutes and she told us that she gave our table away. To add insult to injury, after waiting 20 minutes and snagging the first table we saw, she told us we couldn't sit at that table for long since it was a large table (a table for 6 and we had 4 people in our group) so we would have to relocate once a smaller table opened up. The only good part about the subpar service was that she took so long to even come over and take our order (45 minutes) that we almost didn't have to buy anything (usually you are required to buy something every 3hours) Finally, upon cashing out, when I went to leave a tip, I decided to leave a tip less than 10%. After I paid and everything, she proceeded to tell me that I had to pay at least a 10% extra tip, and made me pay the rest of the tip in cash to make up for whatever I didn't tip. I asked why they didn't just add in an extra service charge of 10% on so that everyone has to at least tip 10%, but they just stared at me and didn't answer. So all in all, go in with low expectations for service, but hopefully you'll have a better experience than I did. read more

Small little dainty place. Hard to believe where it's actually located as the plaza is a small dark area that doesn't look too safe. Inside is really spacious and very comfy. The place is very clean and service is okay...waiters don't really understand English but the job gets done. The selection of board games is somewhat limited but overall food is good. Drinks could be better and prices are slightly high but as there is no sitting fee, it is very good. I would definitely want to play mah jong next time. Definitely would go again and recommend it to someone looking for a place to hang out. read more

What a cute lil cafe! Unlike other board game cafes, there is no base fee to play--you're expected to order something from the menu, though. I went with a small group around 10pm on a Thursday and the cafe was virtually empty. The selection of games is quite large, but one of the reasons for my not giving 5 stars is that many of the games are missing pieces. The menu is quite expansive with plenty of drinks and desserts as well as a couple small appetizers if you're looking for something savoury. I ordered a mango slush and french fries from the menu. Mango slush was good, nothing special but nothing to complain about; the fries were seasoned nicely and were crispy and actually very good, which was a pleasant surprise as I was suspecting them to be average. The service could be better, as most of the workers seem uninterested and they do not check up on you. Washrooms could also be cleaner. Overall, though, I enjoyed my visit and would definitely visit again! read more

My brother has been headed to a bunch of board game cafes, and has been recommending them to me. One of those recommendations was Utopia. Went in during a Friday afternoon, so it was very busy but had a couple tables around. Definitely was decorated and catered to an Asian market, serving bubble tea and even having some Chinese board games and mahjong tables. Food and drinks weren't bad overall. You can't really screw up a Green Apple Green Tea, but it did come in a cheap plastic cup you'd get for takeout. Popcorn Chicken were good, as they weren't too salty, and the cucumbers were great, but definitely NOT worth $4.99. A medium selection of games on the shelves, but use to the gigantic variety at Snakes & Lattes, so was a bit underwhelmed. Good overall experience, but found it a bit too quiet at the time we went. Felt that we couldn't talk to loud there... Not a bad place to hangout, but probably would head to another cafe in the area. read more

The experience wasn't the greatest here. When I first arrived the server is very polite and sat us down. But they never checked on my table after we got our order, a big no no in my books. I think it's strange if I have to get up and ask for more hot water. We ordered the waffles and tea. My god, the waffles were like taking spoonfuls of the desert. The green tea ice cream was freezer burnt, tasted like how it looked! I left 3/4 of my waffle, it was awful. The board games were in rough shape, at least the ones I looked at. I have definitely been to better board game cafes with better conditioned games. The selection seemed wide enough. The bathroom... I'm sure Killer Croc would have been grossed out by it. I don't think I'll return. read more

The service and food were lacking. We had to flag down the staff multiple times. The drinks were served in take away (plastic) cups. The boardgames were missing pieces and instructions. Don't come to this place. It sucks and isn't worth your money read more

First time at this board game cafe. My friend had called to reserve a table just in case it was super busy which it does later in the evening. Nice environment and feels comfy inside. Really liked how the tables are not too close to one another so you don't feel too crowded. They have regular tables, electronic mahjong tables and electonic darts. I would say they have a medium sized board game collection. The "entry fee" is pretty much just buying anything from the menu and they will let you stay 3 hours. If it's a really busy night they will tell you to leave but if not you can stay longer. My friends and I had dinner here as well. I thought that their prices are a bit on the pricey side for the amount and quality. Most of the entree items are around $7.99 - $9.99 and most of them didn't appeal to me. I ordered takoyaki, 6 pieces for $5.99. It was meh, not enough squid in the filling and it was missing the brown sauce. Also got a matcha slush which was very good, not too sweet. Tonight we tried a gamed called Tokaido and we loved it! It's an easy-going game but also involves strategy (and also very pretty!). It was missing one small token though, but thankfully not a very important one. I would totally recommend it to anyone. We also played a game called Coup and noticed the cards were very sticky and gross to touch. I would suggest bringing some hand sanitizer if you are a germ freak. Overall a pretty nice place to hang out with your friends. Good service and waiters are nice. It can get pretty noisy when there are more people though. read more

I don't think this place is half bad! My friends and I ordered some dishes and man they were so good! We got the creep, lobster balls, squid balls, and the seafood udon. The board games are free so without paying for food, you can play with the board games... but I think it would be nicer if you did buy something. They have a variety selection of boardgames, and it's also a pretty chill place to hang out at. read more

Utopia is a casual board game café in Markham. The selection of games are extremely limited and they do not check their games to ensure all the game pieces are inside the boxes before displaying it for customers to play with. Service: The service is HORRIBLE. Servers will display a rude attitude when they are impatient with your orders. My group asked this female server for water, she looked at us and walked away...never brought us water. It was extremely rude. Games: The whole purpose of a board game café is to offer a place for people to play games. How can we play if game pieces are missing? Unlike a normal board game café, this place does NOT check their games to ensure ALL mandatory playing pieces are in the board game box prior to displaying them. My group opened up several board games and there were several games without mandatory playing pieces...without those pieces, the game cannot be played so we had to choose another game. In conclusion: Yes this place may be slightly cheaper than other board game cafes. There is no fee to play games here, you just need to order some overpriced low-quality drink. However, my advice is to AVOID! The service is horrible, and half of their games are missing pieces....so please go elsewhere. read more
