Stopped in to try their sandwiches and drinks, but we were told their kitchen was closed because no one came in to work. Gave their drinks and pastries a try still. The employee acted like the pastries were special. $11 for a warmed up grocery store danish, a bag of chips, and a huckleberry chai latte that had zero taste. It literally tastes like water with a splash of watered down milk and a couple ice cubes. Price was very steep for a tasteless water with a few cubes of ice and a microwaved danish the girl pulled from a grocery store carton. There were two people talking at a table and one waiting on a drink at another. The employee told me it would take a while to make the drink which didn’t make sense. Pricing on website and google did not match in-person pricing. In-person pricing was higher. The lack of staff, grocery items, and inability to make an actual latte with ice and flavor and mismatched pricing shows this place has poor management and service. I told the employee there was no taste to the drink, it was just like water. She didn’t respond or offer to correct it. I asked for a syrup pump to give it a flavor and she gave me a squirt of sugar syrup, which still did noth

Wife & I were had time to kill while waiting for a CT Scan up the street so we choose this place to eat. Knew nothing about the ‘games’ part of the place. Raspberry Hibiscus ice tea was delicious & refreshing! We ordered a Pick 3 Toasters, a cup of Chicken Tortilla Soup, and the ReNature Hummus. Sandwich. All was delicious… light but filling, tasty, and hit the spot! Service was nice & friendly. We’ll come back when we are in the area!

Awesome vibes and great coffee. Courtney was fantastic, helped me pick out a new frappe flavor I'd never tried (red velvet cake), and was playing the most chill music (flutes!). Awesome experience for some afternoon laptop work.

Best cuban sandwich I've had in East Texas, and we can't wait to come try some other sandwiches as well. I will say that it is not an authentic Cuban sandwich, but it is still done well for East Texas. They also have a nice tea/coffee selection. I recommend Texas Black Tea so far. They have a lot of games (if you are into that), and you can bring games. An authentic Cuban sandwich typically includes Cuban bread, roasted pork, ham, Swiss cheese, dill pickles, and yellow mustard. It's PRESSED until warm and crisp, similar to a panini. Some variations may include Genoa salami, particularly in Tampa. This one from here is not pressed, but it's still amazing.

Our family had a great time at Boards and Bites tonight. The proprietors are very personable and make you feel at home. The food is really good. They make a great salsa from scratch and have nice hearty sandwiches. They serve a really mean hot cocoa, too! The game selection is outstanding. They really keep the environment clean, too. I highly recommend you try them out.
