    I thought I’d already found the best coffee in the city until I reluctantly tried coffee from here. OMG was it worth it!!! They roast their own beans so they are fresh and smell in amazing. The staff are lovely and friendly, I think I spoke to the owner or manager who was very informative about their different blends of beans. My only criticism would be the cup but I get it we are all doing our part for the plant. I just need to invest in a decent keep cup. Highly recommend the coffee here!!!

    pretty cool "corner" to grab our coffee in the mornings. plenty of nostalgia inside, and plenty more to take in while you sit and wait for your coffee to be ready -- or while you hang out for a bit. while the coffee for us isn't the greatest, it still is pretty good. coupled that with the vibe here (and the items on display, of course), we really do enjoy dropping by here every now and again.

    Cool gaming/nerd culture decor with tech infused throughout. Super friendly and nice employees helped me figure out what to try and gave me a discount on my first time in. ☕️ Chai tea latte was good - not too sweet if that’s your worry 🥯 Bagel with cream cheese - good cream cheese with a more fluffy bagel then the NYC style I’m used to but still good Only thing is due to the low cube tables and overall lack of space I wouldn’t recommend for getting work done on a laptop but for a quick coffee, place to catch up with a friend or grab a bite to eat it’s a cool place.

    This is quickly becoming one of my favourite places in the city. The coffee is great, the service is always stellar, and the ambience is welcoming and warm.

    Small acts of kindness go a long way ;) Lovely owner who makes sure that everyone feels welcomed here. Pay it forward board spreading love and positivity. Board game token payment to be donated to charities. And of course, a love for games radiating from every corner of the cafe - life should be fun after all! I’m sure you will leave with at least a smile on your face :)

    Fantastic game inspired coffee shop located in the CBD near 24hr MacDonalds. Has a fantastic pay it forward scheme, buy a coffee and put a sticky note on the wall for someone in need! Lovely gesture from lovely people!

    Passed by and was intrigued with name sign as my husband loves retro games. Went in and had their cold matcha latte which was not very sweet, feels a bit thick, just not quite right. But whilst we were seating, the owner gave us complementary matcha croissant and it was beautiful. The matcha cream inside was cold and was so nice texture, that was so generous. Staff are very friendly for a chat and lots of customers seem to be frequent visitors and very friendly with owner. The interior is pretty cool, with lots of game related figurines, mints and lollies, even books. It was a cool place to hang out. We decided that we wanted to play the pinball and asked the owner how much to play, he gave us free 2 games. Would like to come back again if visiting Perth again and try their other drinks.

    Great room in terms of what paraphernalia is in there - definitely worth a visit. Ordered fries which were not great and poor value for money. Apologies if this sounds harsh - just my experience. Shop looks busy regularly so will try again in the hope it was a one off

    Just popped into this place for a coffee with friends. this is really great place to pop into (definitely a trip down memory lane - you will understand when you visit, especially if you are a new or old gamer). Great atmosphere, Friendly staff and exceptional creamy coffee. Tried the Twin Brothers flat white coffee. I will be visiting again.

    Both the vibe and staff are great. The owner brought myself and other patrons some snacks, I could see he knew a lot of regulars by name and offered every delivery person a hot beverage - all in all I love that a lot of care goes into this place and the people that visit. I also love that they have pay it forward coffees - sharing warmth.

    I'm A Perth Based Photographer And Went In Because Of The Cool Art Work They Have Up On The Walls. I Talked With The Very Pleasant Owner Who Told Me Who Did The Art Work And About All The Post It Notes On The Wall. They Have A Pay It Forward For Coffee. Way Cool Concept. Everyone That Pays It Forward Gets Their Name On A Post It Note And It Goes Up On The Wall. This Is A Coffee Mecca If Your In The City And Want A Great Cup Of Java With Cool Vibes To Drink There Or Takeaway. Don't Forget The Great Food As Well. I'm Sure They Well See You Get The Best Of Both. Plus Cool Artwork.

    Meish was an amazing person, he is so friendly and makes the most killer rose latte in the whole perth. We were having a blast at his castle the other day. I was finally seeing my best friend after 3 years and we were playing galaga together on the console. My husband was so impressed by the coffee robot and the roasting process that they have. Overall, amazing concept and it is a really really cool place to hang out in perth 🌸

    It is a cozy place in the middle of busy city. I grabbed a drink and sat down to chill out a bit as I am not a coffee drinker. The smell of roasted coffee beans hanging around in the store and the laughter came from the counter brightened me up.

    I recently visited this cafe and was very impressed with the overall experience. The cafe had a warm, welcoming atmosphere and was decorated with gaming aesthetics. The menu had a good selection of drinks and food options, and what I tried was delicious. The staff were friendly and attentive, they checked on me throughout my visit and had a good chat about pinball. Overall, I had a great time at the cafe and would definitely recommend it to others.

    best cafe ive ever been to! amazing coffee, engaging decor, super super super friendly staff. 12/10 would recommend!

  • 5/5 Duncan M. 1 year ago on Google
    This might be my favourite find of Perth. Really cool arcade themed coffee shop where the coffee is great, the food is good too, and the atmosphere is perfect. Had a chat with the legend that is Mesh and he introduced us to himself and to his robot (yes there's a robot!). Oh and did I mention good value for money? I hesitated for 2 seconds and Mesh dived out to help me pick food, whilst doing the opposite of upselling, super wholesome. Im trying to think of some constructive criticism to balance this review out, but the only thing I can think of is the takeout coffee cups, which whilst great for the environment, aren't great for the drinking experience. But maybe that's just a hint that I should take some time to drink inside next time? I will be back, and if you haven't been, what are you waiting for?

  • 5/5 Yono L. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic vibes and great coffee. Dont always drink espresso, but I tried a phenomenal shot pulled by the store owner Mesh. And man, I just had to grab myself a bag. Good news I heard is they will be pushing out light roasts from their in-store roaster very soon. Looking forward to it.

  • 5/5 Mason D. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing coffee. A pay it forward social mission attached to the business. Love the place well done!

  • 5/5 Murali V. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely fantastic coffee shop in the CBD, no fuss, very friendly owner who runs the cafe with a great team. Business also helps a lot in the community, so next time you're in donate a cup of coffee to someone. Decor is also a reminder of growing up days with old school pinball machine and arcade style games.

  • 5/5 Simon R. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing coffee. Great preordering service and wonderful staff. Very cool display cabinets to pass the time if you forget to order ahead 👍👍

  • 5/5 Soo Sum L. 3 years ago on Google
    Good coffee and friendly local cafe owner/barista. My usual to go coffee place when I commute to work. I like the idea of giving back to the community in the cafe, whereby you can pay forward a coffee or donate stuffs to those who are needy in this hard times.

  • 5/5 Bradley T. 1 year ago on Google
    Wouldn't think to go anywhere else in Perth for coffee. Great coffee, friendly service and good value. The atmosphere and vibe of the place is every gamer's dream, whilst still catering to all generations.
