We’re two lifelong board gamers who fell in love with Mahone Bay and the welcoming spirit of the South Shore. After spending years gathering around tables with friends, learning new games, and sharing great conversations, we had a simple idea: what if there was a place here where anyone could come together to do the same? Our goal is to create a cozy, inclusive space where people of all backgrounds and experience levels can gather around a table and play. We believe games are one of the best ways to bring people together. They spark conversation, create laughter, build friendships, and sometimes even a little friendly rivalry. More than anything, we want this café to be a community space. A place to meet friends, make new ones, share a drink, and enjoy the simple joy of shared experience. We’re proud to be part of the Mahone Bay community, and we can’t wait to welcome you to the table.
We do everything with local love.
We make everything in house, locally sourced.
Local events for all ages.
This space is meant for everyone.
Nope! But we recommend you do to guarantee your spot, especially for the retro video games as there are only 3 seats.
Unfortunately we do not have designated parking for patrons. Mahone Bay allows 2 hour street parking during weekday hours on the main street, and free main street parking evenings and weekends. Alternatively, most side streets are safe to park if needed.
Yes! We have an accessibility ramp in the front of the building. The back boardgame area unfortunately is not wheelchair accessible, however we have tables in the front, and we would be happy to get any game from the back for you to enjoy in the front!
Yes and no. Kids under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult to enjoy the boardgame library or retro game areas!
We do! However, please note we have a very small kitchen and we absolutely cannot guarantee there is no cross contamination in our products. We try our absolute best to avoid this from happening, but it absolutely can.
All our food is baked, cooked, etc. in house by our baking / cooking team!
