The Board & Brew

Came here one day to hang with my friends. The service was rather slow, but the food arrived quickly after I ordered it. Unfortunately, they got my order wrong, and gave me a Buffalo chicken sandwich instead of Buffalo chicken fries, but it ended up being enjoyable anyways and the waiter even offered to have the sandwich not charged if I was not fine with it. Luckily I loved the sandwich and the fries that came along with it. Was a decent price at $16 and didn't last long (as it was devoured pretty quickly). Other than the food the ambiance is very relaxed and chill and they have a very nice selection of board games to choose from. The place is very clean as well. It's much larger on the second floor so don't be deterred if it looks small on the outside!Even with the minor slipup, I'd still highly recommend this to anyone who is in the area as quite an enjoyable hangout location.

Came here again today and got the strawberry matcha which is favorable. It was really packed with travelers and students. That being said, I appreciated how the staff communicated the realistic timelines and admitted that the kitchen was backed up. Furthermore, what looked like a business owner, he was monitoring the situation and checked in with those in line or waiting for a drink. The staff today was exceptional as they kept their cool and maintained warmth, kindness despite being super busy!

Breakfast on a Sunday was surprisingly quiet, although this was before fall classes started at Penn or Drexel. Service was super friendly and prices reasonable. The breakfast items were all 3-4. The pancakes, however, were top tier. Our party of four agreed the pancakes were among the best we had ever had, definitely top five lifetime. Thinner with crisp edges, served fresh and hot. Pancakes pull this into a solid 4.

Popped in here for a quick bite with some friends and really love how big the space is for dining upstairs. It's a very relaxed vibe and the food is super fresh. The wait staff was super friendly and didn't forget to check on us. All of the meals were really tasty. The sweet potato fries are delicious and will get those again next time. The old bay fries could have used a little more seasoning for my liking. But the pulled pork sandwich was five stars. The falafel greek salad was a bit over dressed so next time we might order it with dressing on the side but overall everything was great. Pro tip: they have everything from breakfast to lunch and it's only $5 to play the games no matter what time you come in to play. Looking forward to my return.

Met a friend for lunch and had an enjoyable experience.Server Tate was incredibly personable and friendly. I've always had good experiences at B&B and am not at all surprised it always has an open ambiance.The chocolate strawberry latte was $7, which felt a little high for me, but I thought it was better than Greek from Greece's version of the same latte. B&B is known around campus as having great flavored coffee drinks, but for a pretty penny! Just because of the price, I don't think I would order again, but I enjoyed it at the time. This was my first time getting a specialty coffee drink.Dessert brownie sundae: I'm a sucker for a brownie sundae, but I was disappointed that this brownie didn't live up to par. I didn't feel like it was moist or flavorful. Portion size is big though.

I totally give this place 4 stars. I mean, everyone was super friendly & the spot was clean, overall pleasant, and they even serve alcohol! I was introduced to this place by a friend (hopefully more one day;) & I loved it. I totally recommend this spot!!k.David

Great breakfast/brunch spot to meet up with friends and play games! The breakfast foods weren't showstopping but pretty solid- the drinks were creative and yummy across our lattes, matchas, and chais. The servers are really great at being attentive while you have food but leaving you alone when you're settled in with a game. There's plenty of game space upstairs and even an outdoor area for warmer weather. I'd give it 5 stars if the food were a little better (the waffles could be fluffier and the egg sandwich could be thicker/more stacked for its price) but as it is, I would definitely come back!

Total college spot with lots of games. Not a bad price to play them if that's your thing. Pancakes were just average. Bacon tasty. Daughter liked the avocado toast, especially the egg. Her exact quote, "that's a damn good egg!" Service friendly and attentive. Cool space, upstairs had a pretty cool room with a door. Served the purpose and field goal is good

Listen, did this place absolutely blow my mind? No not at all. Did I still inhale my entire plate? Yes. Solid breakfast food but nothing very innovative. They have your standard breakfast foods and they do them well. I will also give them credit for still being very well priced. My breakfast platter was $11 which is pretty great for this economyUpstairs wait was about 25 minutes at 10am on a Saturday so not too bad but there is a self-serve downstairs which is much quicker and pretty easy. Vibes are good. Downstairs is a mix of people studying and people sharing a meal but more so the former.

I love the massive selection of games I was able to play for hours without even realizing the staff helped me find games that would be most appropriate
