The Battleground Cafe

I plan to visit The Battleground Cafe in the future. It was my first time visiting for their Magic the Gathering - prerelease of Duskmourn event. I started playing MTG this month and decided to go to this event alone... well, I was suppose to meet my husband's best friend, but he had a family emergency. It was intimidating at first when majority of the customers were guys. My only experience with MTG was playing against my husband. (My husband was unable to go to this event.) The staff members were friendly, professional, and patient. When I first arrived, I was looking at the Duskmourn bundles, commander deck, etc that were sitting behind the counter. The place was busy as staff members were checking in customers for the event, but I was approached and offered assistance quick. I also appreciate one of the staff members who took the time to help me assembled my deck and gave me advice - I had no idea what I was doing. The staff members seemed very knowledgeable of the new expansion(?), as well as how to play the game. I interacted with some of the guys attending the event who seemed nice and friendly. My opponent was also friendly and patient - he even offered friendly advice and gave me a chances to reconsider my moves. The staff members checked in after the first round. The staff members were very understanding and accommodating when I needed to leave the event early. They even said "bye" as I was leaving. Overall, it was a good experience. I wish I was a better MTG player, but time will get there. I also find it cool that they serve food there. There was lots of space to sit. They offer a variety of card sleeves, deck boxes, dices, and a ton of single MTG cards. It is also where the Lady Planeswalker Society (women who plays MTG) meets. I would definitely come back and try to make more MTG friends.

Super weird atmosphere, came in with my girlfriend to play a board game and this group individuals playing magic the gathering made a ton of inappropriate snarky remarks, things like "I would take that baby for a ride down to pound town" and things along those lines. Will not be returning with girlfriend and very disappointed with how we were treated.

This place has lovely people working there. As customers & players, they are very accommodating and want what's best for us. Typically other card shops don't really care about the community but rather the money. But here, there's a cozy vibe along with a nice community. Shop owner is really nice as well. Will continue to visit and attend local tournaments as this is the best card shop around this area. Also, the idea behind this shop/cafe is totally awesome. 100% sure you won't be able to find any other place like this.

Very good place for games. Food and coffee is so so. I went here with my girlfriend and sometimes I come here to play mtg which I enjoy.

I think this place is amazing. Walked in and was instantly greeted by the staff. They were all knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely will return
