The Mind Cafe - Board Games Cafe

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.

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.

Great variety of games and affordable. However, it was a tad too noisy and service was quite slow as well, as there were quite a lot of people there

very nice place，all my friends love it and we will comeback again 🌝food is quite tasty ,but some cards are lost ,hope u can find it back soon 😄

Table was not reserved when we reached there and the staff told us to come back 2 hours later.... But staff did made further arrangements and led us to our table eventually.

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

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.

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.

Second visit within a week. Really like the friendly and helpful staff there. Good knowledge of various games and thus able to provide recommendations and guidance.

Prices increased (different from their menu) but they didn't update the menu. The female staff was very friendly and helpful whilst 1 male staff couldn't care less when we asked for help

maybe i went there when the cafe was kind of full. we have to figure out how to play the game ourselves as not all employee there knows all the game they have for us to play. I gave it a 4 as we still had fun there.

Fun to play and chill. Great group bonding!! And being able to reserve gives assurance that you won't be disappointed. :) I've been going to mindcafe since 2009!!

The price is a bit expensive for a group of friends T^T . Maybe a group price will be great (eg $30 for 4h on weekends for 5 people :)

A place to chill out during midnight. Most impt BUDGET

Range of games but there were many that weren't functional due to missing pieces and thus couldn't be played. The food was ok. Affordable, at least.

Great place to hang out and have a fun evening with friends. The collection of games is really good and there is something for everyone. The food quality can be better though.

The staff was friendly and love the ambience of the cafe. Definitely will come again. I just thought that i felt it was the same if i were to book or not as when i come it felt more like a walk in

There were good deals and good service :) Love the variety of games and comfortable atmosphere. The food was great, but hopefully in the future the portion should be increased.

Was lots of fun, good selection of food, many interesting games with the staff even introducing games to us and explaining the rules to us when we weren't sure

There were any bigger tables to accommodate a big game like Dead Of Winter, place was extremely noisy. Still it provided my friends and I a place to play, however we didn't know that we weren't able to extend our time therefore we had to cut our game half way.

Got the little corner in the location. Away from the rest of the crowd. However, service could be better

Board games were old and torn. There was a rude staff that insulted our intelligence saying we won't understand the game. That was very unpleasant.

Better reserve in advance ! Great place to bond with friends !

It was a great experience. I would definitely go there again.

Great place for big groups. We got the private corner which had a minimum spend of $200. Food was surprisingly tasty - expect fried tasty finger food. The games were comprehensive - but maybe not so much for big groups of 10. The condition of the games could have been better. But it was an overall pleasant experience.

Friendly staff n pleasant ambience. Great selection of games to choose from. Like the vibrant decorations and conducive environment for friends n family to have fun.

Since it was a weekday evening, the place was empty and the counter staffs were engaged in their own board game; which I think is good since it allows them to be acquainted with the games and can make better recommendation to other customers. However, service became poor. Infact, it was missing. We had to walk over to their table to place our food order, and when the kitchen 'ding' that the food was ready, the counter staff actually made a 'tsk' sound and shouted for his friend to hold the game. It just made us, paying customers, feel like we are interrupting his game. We had to ask for our cups so we can get our free-flow house pour. Other customers that walked in were merely pointed to an empty table, without the counter staff even standing up to address the customers. Pro: Good selection of games, including light party fun games as well as full board games (ie: Arkham horror).

My boyfriend and I went there at 8:30 and were told soon after that there were no more drinks beside ice lemon tea and maybe coke float. When we requested for help on how to play a few games, the waiter did not know any of the games. The aircon in the couch room was also spoiled. Lastly, there are way too little 2 player games.

Booked for 5 but when I wanted to call to add an additional person, their hotline directed me to make a booking instead. Would have given a rating of 6 but because of that I'm giving a 5. They gave me seats for 6 but I myself would want to avoid such last minute changes by calling and informing them. Nevertheless it was a great time there with a huge variety of board games, some sets are getting old so if it's changed soon it would be even better.

good variety of board games; had quite a lot of fun! :) food service was slow though and the small space made the noise from neighboring tables jarring and difficult to ignore.

Excellent place for late night games. The current promotions for late night gaming is excellent. Wish a little more options for tit bits/finger food but other wise an excellent experience.

The service was great. The staffs are helpful. And their game explainations were clear. We had a great time. Probably coming back to try out new games.

i booked the venue for my team building event.. We got a seperate area meant for groups of 15+.. Amazing experiece.. Definitely would recommed people to check out this place

Went with a bunch of friends and we had a lot of fun! Played past midnight but it was still value for money ! Recommended

The collection of board games is awesome. They can improve a bit on the service. I guess due to peak time they were not able to serve everyone on time.

There was lack of experience staffs. Staff should be more friendly and take the initiative to introduce games to people. There was lots of interesting games, but staffs only know a few easy board game.

plenty of games to choose from and staffs were friendly and explained the games to us very readily! Awesome place to chill and relax with friends.

Ambience was ok.. price reasonable.. Got a staff to recommend some games, which he did.. unfortunately he was not that patient and sort of rude making remarks like "if you dont know how to play this game u wont be able to play any other games".. repeatedly.. which was in itself a turnoff.. who would want to play a particular boardgame after someone make such remarks.. it just spoils the whole mood..

Understaffed but food service and attitude. Lots of food on menu not available and the cards needs replacing like missing pieces as well for games like Dixit

boardgames are always awesome! there is a wide selection of games there.

Value deal on a weekend, including free flow drinks and 4 hrs. could have done better by letting us play more hyper games as a warm up instead.

Friendly staff, interesting concept.. My hubby and I had a very gd time there. The set meals are totally worth it.. Though the iced latte I had was watery and tasteless... Better go for a hot drink next time I think. The chicken lasagna we had was too good... Bursting with flavours.. But the cheese baked rice was a huge let down as it had not salt at all. An awesome place to spend hours having fun.

The place was abit too noisy and table was abut small but overall it was good as there is very Fun games and friendly staffs

Food isn't fantastically wow. Games in rather old condition. Staff seems to be a little inexperienced with the games. Toilet was dirty. Could have improve on service level

Nice place that is affordable. Most of the games a little old however.

Very lively atmosphere and excellent for gathering with friends. Staff were knowledgeable about their games as well and it was easy to understand their explanation.

Good service but food was only okay, we had a great time.

not bad. there's a lot of games..... lovely gathering for frens.

Nice and cosy. Decently priced for gaming with snacks and drinks. Seems shorthanded when we were there. Games were a little outdated though. Should update game library with newer games.

Good place to bond with friends or colleagues with various games
