    I attended the board gaming event at Nerd yesterday and had a fab time. Great company, great food and lovely atmosphere. It was so lovely to meet new people and to get out of my comfort zone for a while, without feeling self-conscious. I highly recommend Nerd to anyone who has even a passing interest in giving board gaming a go. You'll be met by genuinely passionate people, friendliness and a lot of memorable fun. Thanks Jamie and see you again soon!

    Had a great time at Nerd Cafeโ€™s inaugural Ultimate Game Night! We went as a group of two families - 4 in each with children ranging from 13 to 17. The staff were really friendly and welcoming and knocked up a last minute alternative meal with a smile. Our host, Luc, was brilliant at introducing us to a range of different games and it was a great way to find out what we liked and what we werenโ€™t sure about. We will definitely go again!

    What an absolute gem of a place! Beautiful, fresh healthy food, amazing cakes, great coffee and over 200 board games! We went with our 12 year old and spent ages playing games whilst eating lunch and drinking coffee. The owners were fab and showed us how to play some of the games - introduced us to new games too! Brilliant! Will definitely be back and would 100% recommend for families and grown ups alike!

    This a fantastic place - great food and drinks (we had lovely coffees, hot chocolate, cakes and pastries) and a brilliant selection of excellent quality games to play. The cafe is modern with lots of plants and exposed brickwork. The lunch menu looked very inviting - we will definitely be returning when we are next in the area.

    Really enjoyed my time there with my 5 year old. Loads of age appropriate games and a lovely kids menu. Servers were attentive and kind. Got some good ideas for games which I wouldnโ€™t have otherwise found!!

    The most beautiful portobello mushroom salad and I was able to add a couple of extras too! Wonderful customer service and a very relaxing sofa to sit and watch the world go by with a latte too. Will be making it a regular again now itโ€™s getting towards summer and I adore a good salad bowl with lots of nutritional value. Thank you ๐Ÿ™

    Hidden gem tucked away by the station in Altrincham. Staff were so lovely and very helpful. They recommended the nutella cookies and cream hot chocolate which was delicious and I also enjoyed a pesto parmesan bowl. Didnโ€™t try the board games on this visit but I will definitely be back with friends. Would definitely recommend ๐Ÿ‘

  • 5/5 Mark T. 11 months ago on Google
    Brought the kids in to entertain them for a bit with the games. Kids had some smoothies which they loved, and I had an excellent coffee and too much cake! Was very busy but staff were really friendly and managed to keep on top of the many orders flying at them. Most importantly, my kids were engrossed in their gaming, and not talking into my ears incessantly, or arguing, so I got an hour's peace! Excellent little place with a nice vibe.

    First time visiting Cafe Nerd and it certainly won't be our last. We actually spent the day working here (highly recommended co working space in Alty centre) service was fab and the salad bowls were delicious and a great sized portion.

    The best latte I have ever had (and Iโ€™ve had a few!). Lovely friendly venue that have superb warm welcoming staff, great games and are really working with the local community. Park in Tescoโ€™s and go and unwind in a really special place.

    A friend and I went to Nerd for the Friday board game mixer. Jamie was very welcoming as soon as my friend and I entered the cafรฉ,. I had some concerns as to how easy it would be to join other attendees to play some games. I neednโ€™t have worried. Luke was on hand to act as a facilitator putting together a group of us and taking us through the rules of the games so we could continue playing by ourselves. His suggestions as to which games to play given our numbers and time available were spot on. We had a great time and I will definitely go back. Next time I will forgo eating my tea at home and eat at Nerd.

    Fabulous place to meet downstairs for a group work chat. Emma, the owner, was lovely and made us all really welcome. The coffee was excellent and the cakes delicious - what more could you want! Would highly recommend it and we'll definitely be back!

  • 5/5 Hannnah C. 1 year ago on Google
    Really enjoyed a coffee, dairy free babycino and some board games with my 6 year old. Lovely management who not only made a great mocha but helped us set up a more elaborate game and was incredibly friendly and welcoming.

  • 5/5 charlotte r. 5 months ago on Google
    Good spot in Altrincham to have a chill out from the shopping. Took my partner here and played some jenga - we are both students so it was free which was good. We ordered a chai latte and a coffee - both were nice! Would come again!
