Very fun spot with okay food!

Let’s be real, you’re probably not strictly coming here for the food, you’re coming here for the experience.

It’s a great little spot with board games, events, an amazing nerdy atmosphere, and the cherry on top is they have solid drinks with some okay vegan options! I got the Drunken Druid (vegan) and it was good! It was a bit heavy to my liking but I have a feeling most people would actually love this.

I probably wouldn’t come back here for the vegan food, but I’d totally come back for an event or just to switch up the atmosphere a bit and get some coffee or drinks!

Pros: Amazing atmosphere

Cons: Could have more vegan options

Cafe for nerds 🤩

I got to play board games while eating a vegan egg and sausage sandwich called “Drunken Druid” for second breakfast, so what’s not to love?

It was OK!

I was pretty excited about this place. Ended up just being fine for a quick lunch bite. I appreciate the vegan options but could be a little tastier. I bet the space is a lot of fun when people are playing the games or for events.

Pros: Great location near convention center, Really good oat latte

Cons: Sandwich was so-so, Vibe wasn't super friendly

Cute Cafe

This place is very nice, lots of board games. The vegan muffin was absolutely amazing. It had a great texture and was not at all dry. The LOTR theme seemed a little on the light side, but a great stop if you’re in the area.

Pros: Vegan options

Cons: Parking can be a challenge

LOTR Fan with a side of vegan (if you're lucky)

They are still getting set up but there's obviously a lot of love put into this place. They had both oat and almond milks. The iced mocha I had was good. They do have a good sized omni menu that changes daily but with very limited vegan options. They had run out of the one option when I was there so I just enjoyed my drink. Looking forward to seeing this place grow.

Pros: Good coffee drinks!, Loved the attention to detail

Cons: Very limited vegan options, Limited hours
