For many of us, board games were an integral part of our childhood. Whether your household favorite was Candyland, Clue, Mad Gab, or another classic, you likely enjoyed countless evenings filled with laughter, a bit of sibling rivalry, and good old-fashioned family bonding. While many of us haven’t picked up these old games in years, the cherished memories of family game nights can be relived at an amazing cafe in Tempe that has a delightful menu, a full bar, and over 1,000 different card and board games for guests to enjoy for free!
Snakes & Lattes is a Canada-based business, but Tempe is the proud home of its only U.S. location.
The impressive collection of games includes everything from classic childhood favorites to modern-day tabletop games that you may have never even heard of before. You might even walk away with a brand new favorite!

Nutella, caramel, and chai lattes only scratch the surface of indulgent, comforting concoctions (not to mention the talented baristas' handiwork!)
