Reviews for The Boarding House Cafe in Vernon, BC
Great space, lots of games trending towards light/medium weight. Marilyn is amenable to special orders if you really need that... super-rare or super-heavy game. Also, phenomenal cheesecake and scones! Read more
Plenty of games to choose from, delicious treats and a great way to escape the heat. The only downside was that you need to pay... to sit down. No where did I see this posted on their website or in the cafe. My children were very excited to play a game and Ididn't want to disappoint them. I understand paying to use a table if you don't buy food, but if you buy food then you shouldn'thave to pay extra for the table. It was a neat experience, but we will never go back. Read more
Wonderful staff, great coffee and an excellent atmosphere! The caramel machiatto was delicious; not too sweet like many but... rich and flavorful. Will definitely be back soon! Very comfortable. Read more
We were very excited we came across this place as we're avid board gamers from out of town. The woman who took our order was... pretty unfriendly and told us that if we wanted to 'stay and play' it was $6 per person but left us with the impression that ifwe brought our own game there was no charge. We opted to not play as we weren't staying long. We ordered coffee and food. Mysister's grilled cheese sandwich took half an hour to come out. As we had to wait so long I ran to our car to get our game 'Whatdo you meme' which is an easy fast playing game and I just wanted to show my sister. We played for about a half hour and wewere going to purchase a $90 game on our way out. It was then that were were informed by the same unfriendly woman that wewould have to pay $6 PER PERSON because we played our OWN GAME for a half hour. We paid, but left the game we were going topurchase. I hope the $18 was worth a one star review. It's a shame, this place could be great with better staff. Read more

Amazing cafe! We go here every night to play dungeons and dragons with our group, they?ve got lots of tables and room for people... to socially distance. The baked goods are some of the best I?ve ever had and they have new, delicious selections all the time.The staff here are amazing. They have so many different board games for you to try and they?re constantly getting new ones aswell. One of my favourite local businesses! Definitely get out and give them a chance if you have the opportunity! It?sdefinitely worth it Read more
