Reviews:

I'm an unabashed board game geek. My friends and I plan monthly game days. I own a bunch of games and expansion packs. I recently went to Philly for PAX Unplugged (essentially a massive three-day board game convention). You get the point. I was thrilled to learn about Squarrel Cafe and its relative proximity to me. The Yelp event was a blast, so I knew I had to return. $5 to play board/card games for as long as your heart desires, especially when the place closes at midnight on a Saturday? SOLD.
My friend and I spent practically 8.5 hours here. We played Horrified, Tokaido, and Plague, all really fun games in their own ways. We actually played Plague with Ming, the owner, during the cafe's quieter moments. He explained the game to us and was generally super friendly. He was also open to game suggestions and said they might host some tournaments in the future.
Don't skip out on the drinks either. Ming made me a great taro latte with a nice, rich foam on top. My friend got the yuan yang, a Hong Kong favorite of coffee mixed with milk tea. It was comforting and not too sweet.
Whether you're a game fanatic or a casual player, this is a great place to visit and try  some new games. People also stopped by just to buy a drink and relax, if that's more up your alley.

A newly opened cafe to get coffee, tea, study, and play boardgames!
I came here first for a boardgame event and came back again with my friends to play more games. The owner Ming was very friendly and a big gamer.
Its only $5 per person to stay unlimited and play games. They have dominion, Catan, coup, dixit, escape the room, etc. They even have some Chinese boardgames that look really cool (although completely in Chinese).
In the back of the cafe is six large tables as well as a separate room for some more private gaming if you desire.
The drinks are served in large cups and the plastic is hard enough that you can probably take them home and reuse it.
If you're looking for a chill, cheap, and quiet place to hang with friends, I highly recommend this place. The only thing that could make this place better is if they serve alcohol.
 

Squarrel is an awesome spot down the block from the Atlantic terminal and around the corner from Barclays.
Went here the other day to and enjoyed some games, eats and drinks with friends.
They have a bunch of new and old games to choose from... we started with DOS (the sister game to Uno), it was interesting.
Soon after we played Uno. There is nothing like the original. We even recruited Ming (the owner) the join.
Def a spot to grab a warm cup of coffee and chill during the day too.
I'll def be back with my laptop or good book during the week.
Cheers!
 
This place is really nice. You can either unwind here, getting, for example, a beverage and lounging at a table in the front or back, or you can get wound up unleashing your competitive nature against your opponents by getting involved in some game. Or do both if you can multi-task.
The game selection here wasn't quite as large as I was expecting, but they've got enough of a variety to satisfy everyone, and the price to game is a bargain!
I think the staff here enjoy creating their beverages for you. When I walked in, I said I wanted something cold to drink, and I was told they could make cold versions of many of the hot beverages, and even mix-and-match a bit. So I got a chai-based beverage infused with peach, admittedly something the woman who waited on me said she hadn't tried previously. She was even willing to replace the drink for free if I didn't enjoy the finished product - but I did enjoy it, the combination of flavors was intriguing and refreshing.
It's pleasant and well-maintained here. It's a great place to have a time-out or to get your game on.
 

Cozy cafe with board games and coffees/teas. You could pay $5 to play all day, and you could also just grab a drink and go. Theres a drink that has coffee and tea (yuan cha I think is what it's called, but I could be wrong). The drink was ~$5 and very warm and comforting. It was also tasty - it was like a milk tea mixed with black coffee. If you check in on yelp you can get 10% off your order. We luckily got the back private room which also had a space heater so that it was warmer. We played exploding kittens for multiple rounds and just hung out enjoying each other's company plus our drinks. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. There is a gender neutral bathroom that you can ask the staff for the code. There's plenty of board game options and it's a chill vibe. It's a good activity for a rainy day or for a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Super cute Asian inspired cafe with a twist. They have a bunch of board games and puzzles that you can play with a friend or groups of friends. The menu is very much Asian inspired so you're not going to find your typical peppermint tea here.
I opted for the Earl grey tea with tapioca balls. Very authentic and tasty. Cafe is super clean and I absolutely love the barn doors

So impressed with this place! I didn't get to try their drinks, but everyone raved over their custom-made bubble teas. This is the perfect place to come with friends, family, or a group to just play board games and hang out. They have a huge selection of games. The owners are so humble, kind, and down to earth. I'll definitely be back here!

Cute spot to drink some coffee and play a board game.  I would totally come back and try another hot beverage.  It's close to the subway and the prices are reasonable if you like games.  They have a wide variety of awesome games.  This is a cool spot.

Our niece introduced us to cold brew with vanilla and oat milk. This spot had a delicious version. The customer service is great and the space is inviting, with many tables and games for adults and kids. We loved the reusable cups and lids with no straws.
There are no pastries, so stop in your favorite bakery to get a bite.

What a cute little place to hang out. Many flavors for tea and coffee.
Bring your friends or meet new ones. Come hang out and play games!
Yes, this new hideaway on Atlantic Ave is perfect to visit after a long day or an event at Barclays.
The neighborhood has already been taking advantage of this place and setting up birthday parties and lunch meetups. It has fresh cakes from a local bakery. There is a back room for private parties of 6-8 as well as tables in the main section and the front of the cafe by the window.
I tried the Lychee Bubble tea -I'll visit again and relax after a day of shopping in the local stores.
 

This place is awesome. I came for the board games and fell in love with the #BT. Make sure to ask Tiana (I hope I spelled her name right) to make you her signature drink it's #tdf. The owners are so nice and welcome you in like family. The place makes you feel like you're in your living room. I can't wait to go back and back and back again. Make sure you stop by to drink and play the night away. Great vibes, great staff, amazing experience.

Really cute cafe with a huge selection of board games!! Kept the kids entertained and away from their phones :)
Good drinks too! Loved the Assam lychee tea and passion fruit milk tea. Great croissants too

I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon for a iced drink. There's a nice variety of bubble tea and slushes. I got the chrysanthemum tea w. honey and I like it slightly sweet but not too much.
The place was pretty slow when I was there, probably because it just opened. Clean and nice place. Friendly staff. They also have a board games area where people can stay and play (with extra costs). Good place for groups and social gathering.
 

Open late and in an easy to get to area, this cafe was really needed for everyone who would like to go out at night but prefers tea/coffee to alcohol. They also have a big selection of excellent board games and good WiFi! They make boba tea in different flavors and have seasonal stuff too. Plenty of seating and tables.
My peach, black tea boba was excellent.  They have a rewards program too. I definitely plan on coming back.
 

Cute squirrel theme shop with great atmosphere! This happens to be one of my go-to tea shop when I'm around the area. I always find myself ordering the peach oolong tea (unsweetened) which happens to be one of their most popular tea. The environment is perfect for students, hanging out, business/other professionals who need to get their work done somewhere quiet. Got nothing to do? They offer a huge selection of games for an inexpensive price!

What a great concept. Cozy cafe with board games to spend hours with friends. Tried the Earl grey latte on the visit. Much better than most places. will be returning again with a bigger group

Perfect for the no drama type that needs a get away.
