Boards and Bites Cafe

This place is amazing! A fun spot to come hang out with friends, enjoy coffee and various drinks. They also offer small appetizers, if you get hungry. There is a small fee to play the board games but they have a very large variety of games and have most of the game categorized from quick games, 2 player games, games for kids and many more. I highly recommend to come on a weekday or early weekend as Fridays and Saturdays nights tend to be more packed.

Awesome concept here pay five dollars to play boardgames which is from when you pay till closing, great drinks and delicious sandwiches. They also serve gluten free and vegetarian options as well as great salsa and hummus. Sometimes I'll go there just to pick up lunch it's so good. Thursday evening is open game night where you get a discount for being open to having new people join your game. They also have a room for group activities.

We really enjoyed it. We were a little surprised that playing a game costs $5 per person. I suppose not everyone who comes will play games, but we thought since that's the whole business concept, it would be built into the price of food. Other than the surprise $10 fee for myself and my husband to play, everything was awesome!! Would go again!

I was blown away by the number and selection of different board games they had. The food was really good, but wow, the games. The staff was super friendly and interacted with our kids as well. They have games anywhere from Hungry Hungry Hippos and Shoots and Ladders, to gateway games like Catan and Dominion, to games most people have never heard of that are so much fun. For $5 you can play all day. Highly recommended!

This place is fantastic. I'm in town for a few days and my daughter and I stopped in last night for some coffee and played three games. The staff were all very welcoming. Told us if we needed any game recommendations or rules explanations to let them know. We played 2 games we already knew pretty well. My daughter then picked out a game that I had never played and a staff member came over and gave us a super quick breakdown of how to play. We liked it so much that we went back tonight and will probably be back the next few nights as well! Highly recommend for an affordable way to spend a few quality hours.

Our Women of Grace group met there for a wonderful lunch and were NOT disappointed! Delicious gourmet sandwiches, yummy veggies and the best hummus I've had in a long time! Several of us stayed and played games and had a blast! They have a really great selection of games to choose from.

Enjoyed the game selection and cafe offerings.
Espresso drinks were very well made. Sandwiches were hot and tasted fresh. Games were not very organized on the shelf but did have a nice sticker reference coding that allowed those unfamiliar with the games understand what type of game they would be getting themselves into. Staff was nice. I believe the owner was there while we were and he was helpful and seemed passionate about his business.

This is an amazing place to go to when you are hungry or just wanting to have a good time. I came here with two friends and it was a highly enjoyable experience!

There is a wide selection of both board games and card games, a variety of tasty treats, and several rooms where you can go to enjoy your time in privacy. You don't have to be engaging or listening to strangers if you do not want to, and can just hangout with those who you came with.

I would highly recommend Boards and Bites Cafe!

I came here to grab a bite to eat and do homework. I was not expecting such a friendly staff. I was overwhelmed with the flavor of the First Move. Matt and his gang sure do know what they are doing!

This is my favorite place in Tyler. Great drinks and great food, but the best part is the amazing friendly staff. They always take time to recommend menu items, teach you new games, or just chat. Really wonderful and diverse game selection that is well organized, and they do lots of fun events and contests designed to introduce you to new games and new people. Can't recommend it highly enough.
