Our Story
The best moments happen when people put their phones down and sit across from each other. Board games have a way of creating those moments — a tense final round, a chaotic party game that has the whole table laughing, a D&D campaign that brings the same group back every Wednesday.
We built Squarrel Café to be the kind of place we always wished existed. A warm space in Brooklyn where anyone can walk in, grab a coffee, pick a game off the shelf, and stay as long as they want.
No pretension. No gatekeeping. No time pressure.
Just 350+ games, good drinks, and a room full of people who came to play.
Whether you're a seasoned strategist, a first-time player, or someone who just wants a quiet corner with a latte and a puzzle — there's a seat for you at Squarrel.

"Squarrel" — a mashup of "square" (the town square, a gathering place) and "squirrel" (hoarders of treasures, like our game library).
