Great coffee and cake with friends, best chocolate tiffin that I've had in a long time. Excellent service with a pot of hot water automatically brought out with my friend's pot of loose leaf tea.

We finally popped in here for some lunch after walking past a few times and saying "we should definitely go here sometime!" It was lovely and quiet, meaning we were served right away and we could snoop around checking out all the board games without bothering anyone. It looks like it would be a fun place to go with friends for a night of games as the collection was massive! As for the food, we enjoyed our toasties very much! For the price however it would have been nice to have the drink included (£5 for a toastie, but it seemed you could combine options to potentially create quite a thick and interesting toasties!) But it was still not a bad price overall. We enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back again

Lovely little cafe! And a nice surprise to see it was a games cafe too, I didn’t expect this! We just stopped by as we were looking for a coffee to go but we ended up staying in and having a flapjack too. The lady was really welcoming and coffee and flapjacks were delicious. We played some games while we were there and other customers were chatty and lovely. Had a good time here - short visit but sweet!

Popped in for a quick coffee and was not disappointed! Lovely coffee and the lady working was so sweet and kind. If I’m ever in Pembroke again I will definitely be stopping in!

Lovely café on the Main Street in the heart of Pembroke with street seating. Very good coffee and generous portions of both ice cream and cake, of which the latter was homemade and delicious. I don't play board games except with my kids, but the availability of a chess board is always a welcome sight in a café.

My favourite place in pembroke! They serve the best tasting coffee around here and make lovely smoothies! They are open until 7pm daily, so nice to get a drink while going on an evening walk. Good dairy free options with both the hot chocolate and chai being vegan. Owners are lovely and welcoming too.

Fantastic place with good coffee, cakes and toasties! Most importantly the board games are super fun and the owner actually joined us and played together. He told us there will be game nights in different day of the week in the future. Whether you are a local or visitors like us, you should go check it out!
