"Love this location. I was introduced here by some friends and loved it from the first moment I arrived. This is a wonderful location to play board games with your family and friends, to enjoy nice drinks and spend a relaxing Saturday afternoon. I especially enjoyed their hot chocolate (more like a pudding, but I love it). Very clean toilets, kind staff. Highly recommend it! Oh, if you come here for the first time, it might be difficult to find it. It is at no 5, and you have to enter the gate although it looks like somebody’s private yard. Then enter the house and right there is the bar. Some of the staff only speak English. To order the drinks, you have to scan the menu on the table and order online. You can pay at the end. They don’t have food, but you can order something from outside for you and your friends."

"Cute little board game cafe with a wide selection of games and some foosball tables. Coffee and alcohol also available. The entrance is not particularly well marked having to open a gate from the street."
