Boardwalk

First time visiting the cafe, it has such a chill vibe going on, groups are playing their board games. You can get both hot and cold drinks with snacks to. The charge is just $5 for as many board games you want to play. Great hangout place for friends! p.s. the chai latte was amazing!

Love this board game cafe! Boardwalk has a fantastic selection of games and I like how they organize them. Food and drink at the cafe is really good, and its so important for me as an avid board game cafe visitor. I enjoy supporting the business by buying lots of food and drink so it's gotta be good, and Boardwalk does it right! The staff are always really nice as well and know their games, the cafe is clean, and they do events throughout the week as well which is fun!

Though the food selection is a bit more limited than a traditional restaurant, the food is great. There are over 300 board games available to play and if you don't know how to play a game the staff do and they are willing to take the time to help you learn to play it. It can get pretty busy, so booking a reservation might be a good idea but it's not necessary unless you want to use one of the private back rooms.

An incredibly cool concept to be able to enjoy a wide variety of games while having some snacks! The milkshakes were well made, and candy flight was a fun order. They had an overwhelming amount of games to pick from, but staff were able to help recommend a few options based on party size!

They have a wife variety of games available which are labeled very well for you to choose like party games, 2 person, strategy etc. The cover is only 6$ for you to play games all day which is absolutely worth it. The food and drinks are also really good. Overall, ice had amazing experience every time I visit. It's my unofficial hangout place Kid-friendliness: Good place to bring your kids and have fun

I normally don’t post reviews on things but I feel like it needs to be said I went there for the first time and ordered the nachos and sadly after taking a bite pulled a hair out of my mouth that 100% wasn’t mine. They took the nachos off the bill thankfully but i don’t plan on going back after that. The person in the kitchen wasn’t wearing any head wear from what I could see, working in a kitchen you gotta wear a hair net or at least a chef hat to help prevent hair from going in the food. The board games are fun and the staff are nice people.. just unfortunate that happened.

We love Boardwalk, and have supported them as best we can through the pandemic—they're the only boardgame cafe in Abbotsford at the time of writing this review. Boardwalk serves local food and drink, has a super chill/friendly atmosphere, and have a fantastic selection of games to pick from. Their games are usually sorted by play style, and include cooperative, versus, strategy, and more. It's up to you to find one at your skill level, however if you ask any of the employees, they are more than happy to help recommend or teach a game to you! Boardwalk also hosts an assortment of different events; some on a weekly basis and others sporadically. For example, they'll host a team puzzle challenge or miniature paint night on occasion, but Sundays they reserve tables for D&D groups. Boardwalk runs on a coverage fee system: whether you play games off their shelf or bring your own, you pay a small coverage fee per person. Any charges after that are for food/drink, or other purchases. At the time of writing this, the cover fee I believe is $6, but is somewhat subject to inflation. Family-friendly Bring your own games, or play theirs Accessibility: there are stairs at the door, making this not ideal for wheelchair users As with most establishments that provide it, don't bring your own food/drink Parking: Parallel parking can be found in front of the store itself, and down the street just up the hill—both are time restricted, but I've never had a problem. It's also easy to walk up from the lot down the street along the railway, as well as additional street parking around the block behind the store.

It was fun. Great selection of games. I'd love to try going back with a different group of people. It was a touch noisy/less private than I'd hoped, but private rooms are available $Food: 4/5

Such a fun place to visit especially for a belated birthday celebration, first date, anniversary, a all around great venue. Over 600 different games/for the most part organized we came there for a belated birthday celebration. We ordered the spinach and artichoke dip which was served warm and the portion was huge, before ordering 2 pretzels and queso dip, by far the best queso dip I have tried!, Staff are super friendly and even recommended games that may be hidden. Awesome and unique and will be back for sure, just wish the place was more handicap friendly!

Its a fun place to hangout for.. lots of options for games, good food options. One of my favourite places to hangout in AbbotsfordFood: 5/5
