We enjoyed visiting mind cafe. But Since we wanted to try new board games, it was difficult for us to find games with instructions and there was nobody in the starting to tell us how to play. Though later one of your staff members helped explain. The experience would have been better if instructions to games were available.

Staff missed out our food orders twice, to the extend that we did not even bother to re-order. They also miscalculated our bills. x x

Great fun as usual. Staff tried putting us 4 pax on a 2 pax table as it was crowded but shifted us to a bigger table shortly. Other than that no issues except it gets loud during busy hours so be mentally prepared!

Good concept, friends and I has a great time with their games (particularly Saboteur and Exploding Kitten). Could do with more service staff though; the food took some time to arrive and we're left waiting at the counter. Also, consider changing from plastic disposable cups to plastic durable, reusable ones.

Great prices, great concept - loved the variety of games and the atmosphere where it's OK to be loud, rowdy and have fun. The food was OK too and there are some really great deals. The cafe is open late too, so, people can go after work, after drinks, etc to hang out. Service was a bit slow and slightly unorganized, but it's largely self-service, so not too bad. I've gone several times and would definitely go again!

Games were okay. Reservation had no issues. Quite a pleasant 2nd trip. Could have had more games tho or maybe it was all snatched up by others considering it's crowded. Can't find a few games I played the last time I came. Some games had missing instruction manuals/parts too

Bad service. Staff did not introduce games nor did they know how to play most of them. We were left to our own devices most of the time, and the free flow drinks also took very long to come. Could feel that they were a little understaffed, but the game knowledge of the staff was disappointing.

Stella C.7 years ago · 1 review

Very poor service. We were told to go to the table 'right at the end', 'oh, the one on the right' although they were not busy. Then, no menus were given even after 10-15mins and we had to go and ask for the menus. Seeing that we were 'green' about how the game menu works did not give the waiter any motivation or initiative to explain to us how it works. In the end, by the time we asked another waiter about how it works, we had wasted 20mins of our paid game hour. Worst experience ever. So disappointing cos when we were there 5 years back, the service was fantastic and the crew very enthusiastic and helpful. Will never step in there again.

Love the crispy baked chicken wings. Highly suspect it's deep fried instead of baked as claimed but doesn't matter. Tastes super yummy. The cafe was packed on a Sunday afternoon. So the noise level is pretty high , as can be expected. But overall nice experience.
