All of our coffee is espresso-based made with beans from Monigram Coffee Roasters located in Cambridge. Takeout available too! The latest Ontario announcement of the month-long shutdown means we will be closed for April. We'll still offer.

Our board game cafe here in Waterloo has about 1000 different games for you to play in our Game Library. When you visit, don't hesitate to ask us for Game Recommendations and if we know the game and have the time to teach it were are always happy to make your learning experience go quicker. Our game library has lots of old and new games.
Trivia usually runs under 2 hours. We'll be open 2 hours before trivia starts if you want to come in early and play games, eat or drink. Proof of Vaccination is required by the Ontario Government. Please arrive early to accommodate checks and help Trivia start on time.

We'll be implementing our regular format of 4 general knowledge rounds followed by a round of music and finally a final wager question in which teams can bet previous round points towards their final tally.The first 5 rounds are all 10 questions each. Please remain seated for checkout tableside to avoid a congested line at the cash after trivia.
Book your next team building or company event with us! Group rates are available for game play and food packages depending on your party size as well as time and day you are looking for. Popular large group games tend to be party games like Codenames, Telestrations, The Resistance, Cards Against Humanity, etc.

$6 cover charge for 3 hours of board games! Huge selection, very tasty Jalapeno Popper grilled cheese + kettle chips. If you like to play board games with your friends this place is one of the best!

We had a great date night here. Good selection of munchies drinks and table top games. The server/host was amazing and so helpful. He had a really good understanding of most, if not all, the games rules/gameplay, making it easy to go in and pick a game you have never tried before. Highly recommend.

I keep going back! Since "discovering this place with one friend group, I've been back every week with a different group. They must have hundreds of games and Shaun was so knowledgeable about so many of them. He explains the rules so simply that you don't have to be intimidated by then. The snacks and drinks round out the feeling of an at home game night without the cleanup! Great experience.

OMG OMG OMG! What a great place to spend a few hours with your friends. First of all, the pricing is very cheap (6$ per person for 3-4 hours) and the food/alcohol/coffee/desserts aren't pricey as well.
Then the team is fantastic. They show a lot of enthusiasm and patience in explaining you the rules of the games especially if you are trying a new game.
Shaun and Jeannette make sure that you have a wonderful experience. Very kind and very knowledgeable team.
Finally, a great collection of games and overall, a highly recommended place.

First time here, really enjoyed it. Was there on a Saturday night, no issues reserving online and it wasn't too busy. Our server was very nice and knowledgeable. Had great suggestions for two player games! Flatbread pizza was delicious and cheap! Great affordable night out, we will be back!

Came here for a chill Friday date night, they have a HUGE selection of games! The people working here are also so kind to help you understand any game without having to read through instruction manuals.
The menu has a good number of food options, we got the chai tea latte with the brownie cake (ok-ish tbh).
Would come again for a fun night of bots games, signed up for a 45 min slot, and ended up going nearly 1.5hrs :)

My family and friends have being frequenting this spot since the beginning and have always had an excellent time.
The two owners are knowledgable and friendly and are able to recommend and explain new games to you based on ones that you already know.
They offer a very welcoming atmosphere that appeals to friends, families and an interesting date spot.
During the pandemic, their weekend game rentals offered a cheap and fun way to stay off screen while spending time with the people you care about.
Now in stage 3, they maintained the same level of customer care with an emphasis on minimizing touch

I thoroughly enjoyed this outing. The whole idea of a games shop was new to me and I liked it. It was clean, bright and the staff made so much effort to add to our fun that I left a 50% tip.

My husband and I went for lunch today for his birthday, great atmosphere and staff was very helpful. They take the time and explain the game, which was explained so well we only needed to look back at the directions when calculating our score at the end! Look forward to visiting again and trying a new game

I went to Games on Tap for the first time tonight. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the game selection was amazing! My friend and I very much enjoyed playing the Friends Trivia game, and I loved my… decaf Nutella Latte! Next time I'll need to try the peanut butter mousse, because that looked delicious! I can't wait to come back! Thanks for the great experience!!
