Cafe Meeples

I am going to start off by saying I was very disappointed that they didn’t have tapioca pearls. I was going to leave a 1 star review as soon as the waitress told me they don’t serve tapioca pearls anymore because I drive an hour mainly for the boba because there aren’t any places within an hour from me.
I couldn’t leave a 1 star review because the ambiance is really nice and the food is very good, but I couldn’t leave 5 stars because of the false advertisement. They have ads for their «famous boba tea» on their website and facebook.
The waitress told me they don’t sell boba anymore because they made it fresh everyday and they just ended up throwing it away because they didn’t sell it all.
My suggestion for the owners is, take it off your menu or have it available by request. I make boba all the time so I know it takes about 10 minutes to make instant boba. Put on your menu that it will take 10 – 15 minutes to make or let the customer know after they order it. I wouldn’t mind waiting. I would rather have fresh boba then boba that has been sitting for a few hours anyway. True boba lovers will appreciate that.

The ultimate fighter is the best damn sandwich I have ever eaten. I live in Louisville and on a daily basis im contemplating if i have 4 hours of drive time to spare for another one.

Amazing Popeye sandwich! Do yourself a favor and try it! The staff was very friendly and gave great suggestions! Where else can you play board games and eat lunch?! If I’m back in the area, I will definitely be dining here again! I’m sure everything on the menu is tasty! Thanks for a great lunch Meeples!

We swung in here to grab a bubble tea while walking around downtown Richmond, and this place was really fun! The shop is cute and decorated with mounted game boards, which one can request the staff take down for playing games. The bubble tea flavors are all fruity and sweet. While the raspberry tea with pomegranate bubbles we got was good, I prefer more traditional tapioca bubbles and green tea flavors. One of the staff saw my husband and I looking at the game wall and came by to suggest a simple game we could play while we waited.
The food looked and smelled great, and I would be up for a longer game and trying the food if I were back in town!

The super piggy is possibly the best sandwich I have ever had. Great place to take a date. The coffee is hot, the tea is bubbly; this place is all around very unique. I love down the road and plan on coming back ASAP

Great food and relaxing atmosphere. I had the Popeye which had: spinach and artichoke dip, cheddar cheese and tomato on it. Had a side of the tomato bisque soup which was very comforting with the chilly weather today. They have more boardgames than I’ve ever seen! I would definitely go back if I’m in town!

Better and Better. They have been making improvements during the past year. Its very cozy and welcoming. I saw they had a room at Lexicon this year too, it was nice seeing them there with their games.

Food was awesome. Grilled cheese!!! Wow. Had the spinach-​artichoke grilled cheese — amazing. The kids’ meals were delish and a great deal too.
Concept is so much fun and well-​executed! Loved the games and the next-​door game shop too!!!
Perfect stop along our road trip!

Love this place! GREAT food and GREAT environment. It has something to offer everyone (kids, parents, grandparents, gitls day out, business individuals and more). We have held many informal meetings here and love it.

Great sandwiches! Good environment to just hang out, play some classic N64, and enjoy some good food.

This place is a personal heaven. I spent part of my birthday here and the café helped make my day wonderful.
One wall is packed with board and card games. My boyfriend and I picked two games to learn from the huge and varied selection. If you don’t know how to play a game (or don’t like reading rules), the staff is very friendly and can help you learn the ins and outs.
The food was simple but excellent. Gourmet grilled cheeses, large deli sandwiches, and delicious hot drinks were aplenty. The peanut butter cup non-​coffee drink was especially good. I await the day that more vegetarian options are put on the menu.
I so wish that I lived closer to Richmond so I could visit everyday. But I do plan on returning soon.
