The Mind Cafe - Board Games Cafe

The crew was very friendly and helpful. They are very willing to suggest a game for you and would really love to explain the rules. But I was not a fan with the food.

Good selection of games, free flow soft drink was flat, food wasn't very nice, service was slow, couldn't buy a beer but the concept was fun

Extremely calculative, we were not done with our food and as our gaming time was up and we were halfway thru 'Sequence', we requested for them to allow us to just complete the game and we'll end the session (as it's a pretty fast game), but they insisted to charge us a pro-rates overtime extension amount just to complete the game. Well done Mind Cafe, for a mere $3.75 extra charge (for 6pax)........... Food was also terrible. We had the curry samosa, chicken wings, seaweed chicken and chicken baked rice. how does anyone screw up simply deep-fried food?! They were soggy, over-fried and super dry. never coming back! Our experience at Settlers was way better, as were the food & drinks.

Great place to spend the afternoon with a wide variety of board games (I personally have never heard of more than half of the games there!)

Great place for a group of friends to spend time with the wide variety of board games! Free flow drinks available & a good selection of hot food too.

When the cafe is fully packed the noise level tends to be loud. If only they can sector the tables into rooms to control the noise levels.

Great place to hang out with friends after a day's work w/o spending much. Enjoyed playing the games, loads of laughter, fun and reminiscent of my childhood's pastime.

Apparently there's a $10 service charge. It's too overpriced knowing that you paid an hourly rate for the games. They also lack staff. The games are alright but if you don't know how to play them, you'll be wasting a lot of time before having fun.

Noisy place as usual but that's what you expect in a gaming cafe. Some of the game tools were missing and we couldn't play. Took a while to get a staff's attention

Wide variety of board games at a very reasonable price. This place has almost every board/card game you can think of. Great for a day out with families and friends!

It's better than the previous week :) service improved, no hard selling techniques

The service was poor. They didn't inform those who have reserve that they will be closing early a few days before. Quite a number of the food in the menu is not available.

Place was understaffed. The aircon was leaking but staff did not put a sign or rearranged the tables. Service could be better. Price for the festive season was reasonable.

Enjoyable! The staff were very friendly and helpful and patient, explaining the games, and if there were any parts of the games that they weren't sure of, they were humble to admit and directed us to other staff/other sources for help.

Awesome! Had my Christmas celebration there. Will definitely go again. However the downside is.... The ice lemon tea is too sweet. Very syrupy kind of feel.

Service is quite slow as only one staff who needs to be at the counter and the same staff who also needs to takes in order and do the serving but great for bonding session. Would definitely comes back with bigger group.

There was a huge variety of board games- most of which were extremely fun. Had to -3 because the package that we got (Christmas package) came with free munchies and drinks, but they were almost completely out of the munchies and the drinks were subpar. Also there was this group of 10 that were going bananas next to us screaming at a very high pitch while playing the game for a good half an hour, which is more than sufficient to tick anybody off. There was also an event which made it ridiculously noisy and overbearing at times, but on a normal day I'd imagine it'd be pretty pleasant- do check if there is an event going on that day before heading down.

Staff was not friendly. He was more of impatient and bad in explaining the games. I had a better experience in Funan branch though where the staff was meticulous and helpful.

It was horrible. They used to have chips now it's just prawn and lobster crackers. Totally not friendly for people with seafood allergy. After i told the guy that i can't eat any of those snacks, he just shrugged his shoulders and walked away. The games were really badly maintained, the cards and game boards were wet from the drinks, no maintenance whatsoever. The games had missing instruction manuals and the people in the shop told me to google it on my own because they didn't know how to play. The place was disgustingly dirty. The chips were all over the floor. The table was extremely wet and not condusive for boardgaming. Overall a really shitty experience, I'm never going back.

Nice cosy place with a large variety of board games. Enjoyed a good afternoon of fun with friends! Will definitely visit again in the future.

good games but staff may need to be more attentive.

Cosy inteligent place, welcoming and helpful staff! Many many different cool board games and delicious food. I definitly want to come again and become a member :)))

Had a great time with friends. I enjoyed my trip very much and it is good place to relax with my friends. Will go back

It is fun in there, however the meals and the Christmas promo was quite terrible. i might want to go back again, but unsure, since it is too expensive.

Ambiance isn't as great as the funan branch. The place feels a little flat, looks more like an eatery rather than a place to chill and to play board games. The place is also too narrow so there are limited types of seating. As such we couldn't get a big round table which will facilitate games for big groups. However, the service was good, the staff were proactive in recommending games there catered to our size (14). I was, however, disappointed that some of the games that were in the process of being decommissioned due to wear and tear were not replaced for us to play, as some of the decommissioned games were quite interesting.

Despite the large collection of games, the helpers did not know how to teach most of the games. The place was also rather cramped to accommodate large groups of people.

It was very crowded but luckily through Quandoo, we had a table reserved for us. Everything was in perfect order, although serving of drinks could be done a little faster:) The games were fun.

They have many games available on the shelve. We all had a good experience playing

A great place to relax and have fun as a couple or as a group... Good staff and services..The is a myriad of games tat hours could be spent there.

The staffs do not know how to play many games. Service was poor. They said they do not know how to play the games and simply walked away. No help was given. Unlike in the past, the current batch of staffs lack passion and enthusiasm

Good variety of games, but some items were missing from games. Overall not bad, but quality of items within the games can be improved. Thanks!

Great experience. Staff was friendly, attended to us friendly, and explained game rules to us patiently and properly. Food was good, prices were fairly reasonable. Would visit again.

TABOO CARDS VERY MIXED UP AND USED. BUT GENERALLY NICE FOR BIGGER GROUPS. NO ALCOHOL BUT NOT HALAL. BETTER TO BE HALAL SO WE CAN DO MORE COLLECTIVE EVENTS

The cafe is easily accesible and air-conditioned. It's also Muslim-friendly as the Bencoolen Mosque is a 5min walk away. However the tables are too close to each other and the menu isn't halal-certified.

The food was awesome, the people who served us and taught us the games were friendly and very helpful. We enjoyed ourselves tremendously! Thank you!

Service was slow. When we tried getting the attention of the staff the first time,we were ignored. 2nd time we tried getting his attention he said "i am busy". The 3rd time we tried getting his attention, he tsk-ed us and finally came to get our order. The food came to us cold. Wth?

nice place to hang out when there isnt much people. A bit too crowded and hence it is quite noisy and you need to speak louder than usual.

had fun there! Staff is friendly and service was prompt even though it is extremely crowded, staff were polite and courteous. Will go back for repeated visit

Helpful as they taught us how to play the games when he noticed that we didn't know how to play it and even gave us tips and advice

Service level was great. Helpful and friendly staff to facilitates game and ordering. Only downside is a lot of main course are not available. Could improve on that part!

It's a reasonably cheap place to spend time with your family. Would have rated better if the games are newer and the staff can give advice on the games.

Had a great time with my friends there. Would've been better if the staff there knew the games better as we had to resort to Googling for some games. Overall good service

The service at the DG outlet wasn't as good as the Funan outlet. And the games were missing instructions and vital pieces. We weren't recommended any games either.

It has a very good environment and atmosphere. Place is very spacious and has a wide variety of games. Definetly should give it a go!!:)

The staff was very understanding when four of our members couldn't come. Just a slight downside is that the place was rather noisy, and I understand that it's because of the crowd, but if it were possible to place some 'cushion' material to soften the walls, I think that the noise rebound would be lesser :)

The Cajun Chicken was delicious and the service staff understood our orders. However, as it is a weekend, you need to have patience and tolerate the excited shouting of other players nearby

The Duck Spaghetti is awesome! Just a bit pity that the tiger prawns are not available. There are a lot of different type of games, which is very fun. My friends and I had a very fun time! The rate was affordable for us, so we would definitely visit The Mind Café again! :D

Nice place with plenty of games. Some needs better maintenance. With the packages they have, it's quite an affordable place. Food could be better though.

It was a good experience. However as it was a weekend, it was pretty crowded and not enough staff were around. Nonetheless the service was good.

It was alright. Would be great if there's at least one staff that knows how to play all the games, so we wouldn't have to figure it out ourselves. Overall it's bearable:)
