The best board game place I have seen in all Bay Area! The food here is no joke. Usually we come to board game places to play and don't care about the food too much but Plucky's food is actually good! If you come for breakfast the mushroom omelette is great. The vegetarian quinoa bowl is filling and delicious! In terms of games, they have a great collection ranging from family friendly games to heavier, hobbyist titles like Arcs, Pax Pamir. A community of boardgame enthusiasts meet here and host all kinds of game nights. Great place for family and hobbyists!

My gosh, this place is an absolute gem! Everything is made from scratch, even the syrups, and you definitely can tell. The coffee drinks are delish! Prices are good. Highly recommend the leek croissant and the cheesecake, but tbh, everything is good!!

Just visited this afternoon, everything was fantastic! Great game selection, friendly staff, and the food was great too. The cold brew had a frozen coffee ice cube to keep it from getting watered down, which I appreciated because it means they’re paying attention to details and making sure the customers have the best experience. I can’t wait to come back for game nights. We paid for game time as well (7/pp) and had access to all the games in their library. Such a fun concept for all ages and contributes to a warm and vibrant environment. I also love the no-laptop policy, it keeps people engaged in the community space.

I had an excellent experience coming here! The place is very spacious with a few tables and an area with couches. They have a fridge if you just want to grab and go or you can also order with the cashier. In addition, they have a bunch of game boards to use while you are there. Furthermore, we ordered the cappuccino and chai and they were both delicious. You can really taste the coffee and the flavor was just amazing. I also order a spinach quiche that came with a side salad, everything was very flavorful and delicious. The only thing is that I feel that for 14dls the piece of quiche should be bigger. Overall, I will definitely be here because everything from the service to the quality of the drinks was a 10/10. edit to add: Recently came back and tried the affogato and iced chai. The affogato was amazing, the chai ok but it was lacking flavor.
