"A bright airy cafe with natural light and Edison bulbs galore, serving up board game fun and delicious drinks to keep you here until close. The family friendly joint has great food options that are affordable, locally sourced, organic and can satisfy with a snack to a meal. Gluten-free, Vegan, Vegetarian, Omnivore... there is something for everyone to eat here so bring that friend that you can't take anywhere. There is a wall of board games available for play, they have "Critical Roll" podcast nights, will soon be scheduling D&D nights and other game meet-ups. Or just stop in for some old school "Chutes and Ladders" because they have a game for anyone."

Yelp Review
"With a clean, sharp aesthetic Game House staff and owner greet with warmth and exuberance! Centrally located near MAX, WES, and 5 blocks from Beaverton Transit Station, Game House is a leisurely walk or drive. I really enjoyed the Rooibos Chai and Mediterranean bowl as well as organic/healthy options. The food and drink are fresh and made to order, with great effort made to locally and ethically sourced products. The garage doors should afford a large atmosphere and light in the summer while playing many games into the night. Open late on Fridays and Saturdays this will be my go to for spending time with friends and family!"

"Game House Cafe is a great place in Beaverton to have a relaxing night of board games and healthy eats. The cafe has hundreds of board games to choose from and you and your friends can play and chow down on savory bowls like the Southwest bowl or indulge in sweeter treats. Game House Cafe asked me to photograph some of their bowls with a few games mixed in."
