Java Game Haus Cafe

This spot is usually not my regular vibe, but it's close to our house, my husband's hobbies bring him here, and they have pretty decent coffee! I sat in on one of their game nights - our group had 8 people and they reserved a private room - and we had some simple dinner and a couple of coffees. Easy, fun and convenient.

I was on the hunt for good coffee on this side of town and I stubbled upon this cafe. What a cool game house! This is such a unique concept and I'm so excited to have found this place! Not to mention their coffee is on point! I asked for an Iced Latte with Lavender White chocolate and boy do they make good drinks. My son had a strawberry smoothie and it was very well made. As a first timer, my barista/host were so great about explaining how this place works. It's first come first serve in order to get the table of your choice. You get unlimited access to their huge selection of board games for $5 per person. The black shelves are for borrowing and the white shelves are for sale. There are several huge tables to choose from, perfect for large parties. I was given the option to check out the games in the "library" before I committed to playing. I refrained from this irresistible urge to play as I was really just stopping for coffee. Otherwise I would have probably hung out all day! The selection is very impressive. The $5 is for unlimited play and I was informed that if I leave and come back the same day with my receipt I can continue to enjoy these games! Great experience here, I hung out and watched others play their games while I finished my coffee. What a great place to hang out with some friends in the future!

If I was going to review solely based off of service and food that would be five stars. However the coffee is overpriced and their card selections are meh. But that's besides the real issue here. There's videos and reviews online accusing this business of racism and discrimination against people with disabilities. Java is supposed to be a diverse community yet does not act like it. So they do not have my support. Businesses especially small ones are supposed to care for the community. As a business you should be treating your customers and employees with kindness and respect

Stopped in here to kill a little time while I waited for my appointment. I have seen them before but never been inside before. This place is a great concept and a unique way to create family time or hang time with friends. There is a wall full of board games people can play and the snacks are delicious. They have a calendar that shows the large variety of gaming opportunities that they have available to people. You can pop in to play a game for a certain price or you can become a member. I think my daughter would love it here. We will definitely be back.

They have a large selection of games and it's only five dollars to use it basically which is a nice price. It's big in there and most of the people seemed nice except for some of the customers/staff. Kind of created an uncomfortable and awkward environment. One of the customers that was being rude was either a staff member/ friend of staff which I found disheartening if she is promoting that type of environment for new customers. She kept talking behind our back when we asked for chairs and took a table. We waited thirty minutes ( got there before her) for a table for a party of 8, three tables opened up so we split off one and combined two but she threw a fit about it still even though she had a group of four people. She was so rude :/ the kitchen even gave her her food first when we ordered an hour before her. I think it might have been an event day but still I don't think that they should make the other people who aren't participating and just doing other things feel like they aren't welcome. If the event is that big of a dealThen I feel like they need to close the place to other customers so this type of environment and stress on the kitchen is avoided. If we were seated in the incorrect area then maybe tell us next time? Communication would've been nice. More training might help!As for the food, we waited an hour and a half for food while some of the staff sat in the back talking to each other. It was a busy night and they seemed very stressed out but it shouldn't take that long to make a panini and put ruffle chips on a plate. The panini was a bit overpriced for the two slices of meat they put on it. The coffee was burnt as well. One of the employees with longer blonde hair was trying so hard but it seemed like many of his coworkers were there to chat and hangout rather than help him work. This would of course be fine on a not busy day. He was begging for help, I felt so bad for him. I think if you come just try to check beforehand if there's events happening and come on a non busy day and you'll be fine. These issues probably wouldn't have existed. I think this place is still an amazing asset to the community and people that love stuff like this.

Stopped in last night as part of my date night activities with my wife. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the staff who take your entry fee ($3-$5 depending on type of game) to play and pick from their category of games. The business has a large selection of games from role playing games to common family style games and multiple tables for people to play on. They also sell games and game accessories for common role playing games. They also sell a wide selection of beverages and snacks such as muffins, nachos, etc. We paid our entry fee and grabbed a couple of bottles of water. We then proceeded to the game section which has tons of selections and it can be a little overwhelming. We selected dominos and a deck of cards bc it was just the two of us but this place would be a lot of fun for a large group. We observed several different groups playing group style games like Magic, Pokémon, and Dungeons and Dragons. As well as other groups playing classic card games. They also have a list of games they carry on their website. The only down side was that there was an adult male at a table who kept cursing and using profanity out loud in relation to his game. All in all, fun place and could be a great way to try out a new game prior to buying it. If not busy, staff will help you with a well-informed selection.

Accommodating space to play and hang out with friends. Staff were very nice, food and coffee were delicious and a great deal at the price they sell it to for you. Can't wait for their new location.

Fun, large, game room, lots of role playing games, beers, coffee, some baked good. Nice place, everyone seems happy and smiling!

One of the few and definitely the best board-game/card game place you can go to. Very unique in the fact that has a store that has pretty much has every game you could possibly think of, and also you have the option to pay a extremely reasonable price to play over 700 board games and card games at tables set up right there in the store. The café is probably the most hidden gem of this whole place. The coffee is out of this world. My wife will literally go there just for coffee. They should be getting more food options and other things coming soon. The staff is very helpful and attentive.I highly recommend if you're looking for a family friendly or just a great hangout spot.Also great D&D place with rooms that you can reserve for all out gaming.

I love board games so we came to check it out . My husband (who plays rpg games) was sure that it would be full of geeky guys and I'd be the only female. We came on a Friday night and the place was hopping with a mix of me and women playing all kinds of games. They do have food options like chicken tenders, pizza, etc. def a cool place to hang out with your friends and they have a ton of games to try as well. It would be nice if the games were sorted into sections--like family games, kids games, rpg, etc. as it is a bit overwhelming! I kept seeing pricing of $3 to play all day, but there was another sign saying $5 for board game play and you can't bring your own unless you have a membership... that was also a bit confusing. And what if you did rpg and board games? Def worth checking out!
