The Mind Cafe - Board Games Cafe

Average brunch, service was good and staffs are friendly. Had to queue quite a while to get in

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

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 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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!

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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 😄

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!

Reserved for 4 and table given was so small. We had to place our drinks on the floor while playing. We ordered for the free flow snacks for 3 hrs. Some staff had no initiative and were reluctant to help us top up our snacks and drinks. In the end, we had to help ourselves. And when we did, the staff were unhappy with it and that we were taking too much. Since we have already ordered for free flow as published on their menu, why are we still being limited to a quantity? Also, we chose a game that we did not understand and asked for help from one of the staff. He dismissed us by saying that he did not know how to play the game too and that another staff that knew, was not working on that day. He left us as it is and we had to google to figure out how to play the game. Me and my friends were shocked at the service given to us. Understand that there is a crowd, but is it not common sense to increase your manpower during peak hours, especially on weekends? We were very much disappointed with our visit. Our bill totaled to $70 for 4 in 3hrs, this is quite pricey since most of their customers are student-aged.

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.

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

Nice staffs with good amount of assistance! However sometime it may be too understaffed thus they may take a while to attend to your needs ( teaching how to play the different game) when crowded. But overall, we had fun!

Awesome prompt app update to cafe! Immediate response from cafe too!

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!!:)

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

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.
