Evanston Games & Cafe

Great local business, more than anything the people here are awesome. It's become my son's favorite place because the people have been really helpful in engaging his fascination with Pokemon in ways we can't because we're fundamentally baffled by it. Also lots of D&D stuff and other RPGs, they host a ton of events, and it's just really cool to have a place dedicated to analog games.

My friends and I met up there on a rainy day, and I had gotten fast food on the way. The store has a “no outside food” policy, but they agreed to waive it because it was raining! My point is, the staff is super nice. Great selection of games, both free to play in-store and available for purchase. Perfect for fans of DnD, Magic, Pokémon, etc.

Great local game shop. The owner is there all the time and very knowledge and friendly. There are no organized games right now due to COVID bit typically this place is busy with board, card and D&D type game play. They sell all kinds of board and card games. During non-Covjd times you can even try many of the games first through their store copies. There is also a small cafe for sandwiches ana drinks. My boys love the hot chocolate. One of the best things about this place is the other patrons. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. It's a nice little community. Go drop in and say hello.

Evanston games and Cafe is a wonderful place to play Magic the gathering, yu-gi-oh, pokemon, and any other tabletop game that you potentially can conjure up in your mind. There's very comfortable seating in the back where you can play games, you can also purchase snacks, quick food, and drinks from behind the counter. The ownership is fantastic and is always willing to help you with any type of purchase that you may want to get. Good Street parking, good luck parking north of the shop, and is right across the street from a wonderful bakery. 5 out of 5, would always invite anyone to come and play games with me there

Really nice board game/card shop with schedule activities/events. The place also operate a small coffee shop. Stoped by to have a look and had a great conversation with Eli. He told me about the place and gave me an hour+ explanation of MTG (super interesting). Will definitely be back for some playing.

This is a coffee shop and a boardgame store. The espresso and food is pretty good, although the latter is mostly sandwiches and soup. There's a counter that you can sit and work at for a while, and if you want to try out any board games there is an extensive demo library in the back. The store has a pretty good boardgame selection, although it's not exhaustive. If you play Magic: The Gathering, this is your hangout spot.

EG&C is a user friendly shop. Great selection of games for purchase and a library of games to try before you buy! I met Drew, Eli and Casper a really nice group of staffers. Clean, well lit, nice cafe and friendly patrons. Bathrooms are nice with one with child sized stool and the other is ADA height. Clean well lit and open supplies give it a B+ in my book. Our Scrabble Club has changed venues and will meet here Sundays in the afternoon. Please check the online calendar for exact times...please just show up and join us!
