First visit on Saturday. Really great to see this sort of venue in Telford. Seems to be run by a very enthusiastic and invested group of people. Great selection of games to try from kids through small, short experiences up to Pandemic and Bloodborne. As a gluten free person also awesome to see options on the menu for me. Will definitely be back. Highly recommended!

What a lovely experience today on the 4th day of this new cafe! We had a very welcoming experience with excellent coffee and lemon drizzle cake, and a feeling of warmth from the staff. It has a wonderful feeling of space, and you can Visibly see an enormous collection of games, to suit all tastes. There is incredible potential here for the future, and we think it is going to be a huge success. Wellington is seeing a cafe with atmosphere and a draw to locals, shoppers and passers by! Best wishes in your venture!

Visited yesterday with my family and I cannot recommend this place enough. Wide range of games available to play and the atmosphere was lovely. Great drink range and all very reasonably priced. Also want to say thank you to the two members of staff who were working, you were both great and very approachable. It was lovely talking to you, can't wait to come back again.

Going to the boardroom cafe has been the most fun I’ve had at a cafe in forever! They’ve got tons of board game options, lots of food and drinks, bubble tea and an artists corner where they showcase the community’s art! What more could you possibly want! The staff in particular are incredibly inclusive and so polite. Harry, Fern and Emma were amazing; they catered to our large group of people even on a busy day and were so charming and fun to talk to! I could not recommend this place more!

P. B.

Only had drinks but what a lovely place. Staff couldn't be more friendly, especially Harry. Will definitely return to eat and play a game or two. Great atmosphere and good priced menu.

Both the food and coffee were excellent. Ellie and Chez kept our 1yr old son entertained, he loved the banana pancakes the team had cut up in advance, allowing us to enjoy our food and drinks at the same time. Plenty of board games available to play. Highly recommend the boardroom gaming cafe and shall be returning very soon!

H. S.

Very impressed. The staff were lovely, choice of games is good. Food and drink was reasonably priced. We had a milkshake and a Pepsi max. Very clean, and well looked after. Toilet was very clean and had nice touches. Hoping to come back when we have another child free day!

Such an enjoyable place to hang out for such a cheap price, the drinks and food are amazing and the staff are so enthusiastic and interactive! A special thanks to Harry for making our first time there an amazing one and we now have a good friend! :):) very happy 10/10

Went today so my partner could attend the pokemon session. Mid way through my partner went to play and I was on the table on my own and Harry approached and sat with me to keep me company and even offered to play a game with me so I would have some company. Atmosphere is lovely and chilled and the staff are really friendly and make you feel at ease. Would love to go again with a couple of other people to really get into a fun board game!

Such a great place created in Wellington area in Telford - popped in for tasty bubble teas. Variety of games available. The ladies at the cafe were lovely! Really friendly atmosphere- I recommend to come and visit this place! ✨

Love this place so much. So many games to play. Food is amazing. Staff are so helpful and friendly. I’m a member and I’m made so welcome. Shout out to Lyndsey, fern and kurt for brilliant chat and service today. Also to my favourite people Harry and chez.

I was quite disappointed by the experience on the whole. Having been a regular of the Board Room in Bridgnorth I thought I would try this one out. Sadly it doesn't compare. The atmosphere is very much like a standard cafe and a bit boring, the games are limited and there is probably about 1/3 of the choice as there is in Bridgnorth. It is also hugely overpriced for food and drink. £4 for a slice of cake, £6.50 for a tinned hot dog on a dry bun with some mediocre chilli, £2 for a tiny bottle of apple juice. So sadly the prices are about double what I am used to. The staff didn't seem very engaged in the whole process either and more just like a regular (and priced to rival Starbucks) cafe with some games inside. I honestly am disappointed and will stick to Bridgnorth Board Room where prices are fair, atmosphere is fun and staff are engaged in the concept/knowledgeable. It's a real shame but this just seems like a poorly planned gimmick they thought would make lots of cash rather than a concept they understand.

Very much a family trip out for this type of thing. Overall the facilities are good, however upstairs toilets will reduce the ability for disabled persons to enjoy the café and come to play games. The games selection was ok, clearly a start out and will continue to grow, so something I will keep an eye on moving forward. But did provided myself and partner with some games to play and was enjoyable. Costing wise £3 per person for 2 hours is a a good price for the space, given the size of the Café. Costing for food and drink was very random though. £1 a can of pop is normal for café, but then £4 for a slice of cake, or £6.50 for a small snack..... was very much at the premium price point, a Full English at Sofia's is only £4.95..... Very much at would like to say I will return but the premium pricing detracts from an otherwise great new little café

It was my first time going today: both my partner and myself had a wonderful experience. For starters the atmosphere was calming, neutral and academic yet didn't feel dull, there was a great deal of character coming from the foliage to the beautiful displays of both books/manga alongside the actual board games. The collection of board games was quite diverse with many newer, more modern games that you might expect to find in the possession of a hobbyist also being accompanied by the classics (Monopoly, Yahtzee etc.) which of course caters to the more casual gamer. My partner and I enjoyed a comfortable 2 hours - £3 for that length of time was a very affordable price I must add - playing Guess Who, this wasn't our first choice but was instead Mysterium however we found the game hadn't been put back in the correct manner meaning it would have taken up more of our time than we were comfortable with to set up the game to begin with (of course this is no fault of the staff as they, assumedly, had no idea of the inconvenience; we tidied up the box before putting it back so the next user could have the experience with it they deserved). Speaking of the staff, I found those present to be very welcoming, informative and timely with our orders - which themselves being of high quality - being delivered in a speedy manner with great service overall, they handled some more 'boisterous' customers with diligence; my entire experience was positive leaving me anxiously waiting for the next chance to attend the establishment. My one hesitancy comes in the form of the pricing of food, I think the pricing of the drinks was spot on for the majority of the menu, for the food was a bit more on the expensive side for my tastes however - and this is with the greatest emphasis - it was of a very high standard: in my opinion you are paying more than average for more than average food. My final thoughts are quite easy to put together, this might be the best addition to Telford as a whole in years: I hope it shall revitalise board gaming as a whole in our local community. Since leaving earlier this day I have spread the word among many of my companions who, just like me, have been waiting for such an inception for years and have given my highest praises in the knowledge that they too shall likewise have 5* experience at a 5* establishment. Boardroom Gaming Cafe has great potential to be a cornerstone of the Telford experience.

We visited on Saturday and were really impressed. We called before we went to ensure a dog friendly table was available, and Kurt informed us there was one and he'd get it ready for us. From walking in the door we were looked after - everything was explained to us, we were given menus and told to help ourselves to the games - some childhood classics in there like Guess Who and Buckaroo which we just HAD to play. Our orders were taken, and the girls (dogs) given free puppicinos (a really lovely touch)! The food was fab and really reasonably priced and we spent a good 2hrs playing games, eating and having a good time. The vibe in the cafe is lovely and relaxed and Kurt and his collegues were really welcoming and lovely. We will be going back (I've told my mum I'll be taking her too) and would recommend this cafe to anyone - boardgamers or not, you will be welcomed and looked after. A huge thumbs up from us (and waggy tails from the girls)!

Having had to take my youngest to Telford hospital for a fracture that needed replastering the rest of the family needed somewhere to pass the time and they found Boardroom...... and played games and relaxed until my youngest and I joined them. There was absolutely no rush for us to leave and they made us all feel extremely welcome....even providing my husband and I with an anniversary slice of cake as it was our wedding anniversary the next day. Jenni and Jon and their awesome mini boardgamer, Charlie (and their sister/in law whose name I didn't get - sorry) were super friendly and helped to turn what had started out as a rubbish first full day of our mini break away into a lovely evening. I saw my stressed husband visibly relaxing as the afternoon wore on and we decided to have our anniversary dinner there instead of waiting until the day itself. They definitely put the FRIENDLY into FLGS (friendly local game store) and we will definitely come back if we are ever in the area again.

A very friendly place to visit if you're a big fan of animé comic books, food is nice and at a great value. Workers are very kind, thoughtful also in my experience of retail many companies could learn a lesson or two on what customer service is suppose to be 😅 Very clean and organized place aswell all round 10 tbh :)

I visited with a group of friends and we all had a good time. The team behind the counter were also really friendly and enthusiastic about their job, creating an atmosphere that was quite memorable.

My son had a friend's birthday part here. The cafe I suspect isn't everyone's cup of tea but what a lovely idea to just relax a play games. My son had a fab time

Super welcoming from the moment you walk in. Amazing options of food and drink available. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Considering I don't go out much, I ended up staying later than I expected because it was such a great atmosphere! Will be my first recommendation for anyone wanting to make new friends and try new things, like ramen noodles and the best cheesecake youve ever seen 🤩 Will definitely be coming back for more!

An unusual new addition to Wellington. You can pop in for a cake and coffee served by friendly staff in a clean lovely environment, to see what they have to offer. You can book a table with friends and choose to play any of their wide range of modern games like Pandemic or Mysterium or the more traditional games like Scrabble or Cluedo and if your not sure how to play, the staff will help you understand. A wonderful place well worth visiting either to play games or just for a brew.

I just popped inside about 20 minutes ago and saw nothing but smiles. I saw they had a bubble menu and was given an excellent recommendation. If you love board games and chill vibes with a really soothing aesthetic this is the place you. 10/10
