Amazing find!! My husband and I love boardgames. We were going out to eat in a restaurant in the same plaza there was a 40 minute wait so we decided to stop in and play some games while we waited. They have coffee, little sandwiches, pastries and it was like $5 to play we had such a great time that after dinner we went back and played some more! It's just a really cool idea to play board games in a different atmosphere than just your kitchen table at home.

Great place to hang out and have coffee or play games with friends and family. This place is huge with hundreds of board games to choose from. Close late too.

Great place!! Vegan options. Very organized. Very nice place to spend the time and play.

Happened to be in the area from New Jersey. Brought my magic cards with me, and happened to find this place on a Friday night. All the staff was super welcoming and friendly. Along with the other guests that were playing. All in all, awesome experience, awesome place, awesome vibes. Would totally recommend to anyone local or from far. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area!

This is a really chill place to hang out and play board games, D&D or War Hammer. They have a great selection of loaner games to play if you don't have one as well as a collection of table top RPGs and other fun games for everyone to purchase. They have a large facility with multiple tables for different games that include felt covered for cards, a cityscape design for table war gaming and plenty of accessories such as miniatures and paints. They also have a food and drink bar that serves coffee, snacks and other treats. The ice coffee was great 👍. They do charge a small$3 fee to rent a table but they do have an incentive for the D&D player. The DM does not have to pay for a table and they get 1 dollar store credit for every player that joins the campaign!!!!

I have participated in play events at this location twice. They are well organized and the space is great. They also obviously care about and want to support the local gaming community. I have personally observed them choose to sell a scarce product for about half what it could be sold for in order to allow local players to have access to an otherwise unavailable product at a reasonable price. As a business they chose to put their customers ahead of maximizing profit for themselves. Please support this local store and reward their commitment to the local gaming community.

Great good! Great drinks! Great games! Incredible prices! Lots of vegan options too. This is a place is a gem!

Friendly local game store specializing in tabletop games, RPG's and Magic the Gathering among others. An exceptional warm and cozy environment with a helpful and polite staff. The food is fresh and the drinks are delicious, and with the new move, they've onky gotten more ambitious. This store is also somewhat kid friendly, and the staff are all too capable and willing to foster creativity and community in the kids by helping to gently teach game rules and help answer gaming questions. Last but far from least, the Java game haus is a diverse and inclusive workplace and space that takes a stand against bigotry and knows better than to tolerate regressive hateful ideologies in its doors. Whether you are new or old to RPG's, MTG, or just looking to find a new hobby destination, JGH is the place to go.

Whether you want to come in to play card/board games with friends, play on your laptop, grab some game related merch, or just have a coffee and a bite, they've got it all, and I really enjoyed staying each time I've come. Great job guys, hope you keep growing!

I freaking love places like this, and I wish we had one near me! We were visiting from out of town, and I always love to check out the local tabletop games scene. If you love board games, definitely visit here! They have a huge wall of games to choose from, and a large, well-lit, clean space to play! They also had a unique numbering system with stickers from 1-5 to help you choose a game with the complexity you're looking for. I can't wait to visit again!

Came here from Tallahassee and was greeted and given great customer service. It was a great overall experience. If we're ever back in Jacksonville, we will definitely stop by again!

It’s a really good idea for a business and pretty nice establishment. I felt a little intimidated going in because it was alot of DND and magic campaigns going on but that’s a personal thing. One of the employees was wearing a necklace that to my knowledge signifies a sexual relationship within BDSM. It was a slip chain with an O-Ring and while I don’t really care about it I just don’t think that’s smart to wear during work hours. But I could misinterpret what the necklace is and it could be just a metal necklace the employee likes. That’s not the reason I give three stars. I digress. The 3 stars is because my friend and I ordered food and it took over an hour for it to come out, and her food came out undercooked. Staff was very nice about a refund but overall it shouldn’t come out undercooked to begin with. Solid 3 out of 5. Staff was nice, game boards were fun, just some small things that I believe could use some improvement. They will have my business again.

Used to come here to play boardgames with friends and it was fun. But I've now gotten into magic the gathering and love coming here and playing with new friends I made at Java. All the workers make me feel like I'm a part of a happy family being there. It's much better then other business where the workers act like they don't want to exist. This place is the best place to go to play magic and boardgames, meet some cool people, and to buy all the TCG, Warhammer, etc. Products you could need.

If you're looking for a place to sit down and play some tabletop games with your friends, buy yourself a new game, or even just grab a bite to eat, this is the place for you! With their wide selection of board games and tables at an affordable price you could spend hours here and you'd never run out of things to do, and I guarantee you won't go hungry with their cafe that has a wide selection of foods, all at a decent price. I'll definitely be coming back, I have nothing to complain about!

Great local game store. My wife and I came back to MTG after a twenty year hiatus. Staff was great to talk to and happy to catch me up on the changes to the games; make recommendations to finding specific cards for playstyles I'm interested in. Java has become my starting point for business when I'm looking to find anything related to the hobby. I also haven't had anything from the cafe that wasn't great. Looking forward to their expanded storefront!

This place was like walking into nerd heaven. Merch+Food+Environment = A+. Friendly staff, awesome set up, great service. Will definitely be back next time we need ANY D&D stuff as the prices were better than amazon on most items i looked at.

Phenomenal Friendly, Local, Game Store. We just hung out there all week for Free RPG day (as a family) and had a tremendous amount of fun. Love this place!

It was a great experience. We loved playing the games available. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We even accidentally spilled coffee on a game and they were completely understanding and didn’t get upset with us at all.

They have a nice stock of Citadel and Army Painter supplies. I go here instead of GW. They also have 40K stuff in stock, small selection, but you can find a hard to find gem or boxed game that sells out everywhere else typically. Hopefully they expand their selection a little more.

Lovely store, but seems like they are having staffing issues.. was difficult to get a response as to why they wouldn't entertain buying cards or even looking at them within a weeks time. 😕

Found this place while visiting Jacksonville for an Ikea trip. What a pleasant surprise! Great library selection. I ordered a dirty chai and it was delicious. My wife ordered the party nachos and they definitely are big enough for a party. It was more than she and I could eat. They even had a very nice selection of games for purchase including some gently used games. Lots of nice seating options. Great set up for group get togethers. Well worth the $5 to pay to play. :) Will definitely make the 2 hour drive to return again just for this place.

Had a great experience! I went to get some protective stuff for some old cards and walked in based on a recommendation. All of the staff were super attentive and so friendly. They have a great selection of card stuff and I grabbed the first card box I saw. Luckily the staff member that helped me asked me what I was looking to do and was able to get me the right box for what I wanted and made some great conversation and recommendations.

This shop is absolutely fire. I love seeing Magnus in the shop. Everyone works very hard to make sure the store has a fun vibrant atmosphere and I would recommend this shop to anyone looking for good family fun.

Great, friendly store. Expansive selection of board games, solid service, decent food. Great if you're coming out for an organized event, or just to play games with friends.

I absolutely love this place! I had never been there before, but I was made to feel so welcome! I love the selection of games to play and for sale! I love the food, so delicious! I would definitely recommend this place!

Every Thursday there is a game night and all the people are so friendly. Java is a great game shop with a lot of loyal customers that make this cafe a buzzing hangout. Love it for meeting new people and have fun!

I personally love Pokémon cards and their Clearance/End of the year sale section was a huge bonus. Everywhere else I looked for the same booster box had the price starting at $125 but here it was only $100. The employees were very nice, kind and patient with me. The hot chocolate at the cafe was good and the warm chocolate muffins were delicious.
