A few weekends ago travels centered on seeking out establishments that might be a sound fit for the gstreak community brought me to Croydon. As is often the case, one can view nearly every photo online, read all the meaningful reviews, and still only have a partial idea of the business at best.This rings truest for the Ludoquist in my opinion. From the atmosphere and way in which the floor plan was arranged, to the staff operators, to the cuisine and more, the Ludoquist! was positively radiant. And to see every possible combination of patron in attendance, groups of friends enjoying themselves, families partaking in quality time, couples out on a date, and more, really drove home Ludoquist's magnificence.I’d also like to give a big shout out to Faith and Adam for embodying that rare blend of professionalism yet personable. It was great to meet the both of you and all the best til we meet again!

Brilliant place!!!!!Came here with my GF yesterday and it was SUCH a fun day.Excellent, friendly staff, sooooo many games to choose from, comfy seating, table service with cool buzzer things (including drinks, food, beer on tap and even cocktails) and it's even dog friendly too.Will absolutely be returning and spending the entire day there.

One of our favourite places in Croydon. Lots of vegan options to choose from and a great variety of board games. Love it!

What a great find!! You do have to pre book, but I managed to book in the morning for the same evening. It's reasonably priced at £7 adult and £3.50 for under 16s for up to 3 hours of game time. The drinks are a little pricey but expected due to the location, and they are well presented. The garlic bread was so tasty!! The staff are really knowledgeable about the location of games, and if you have a particular genre you'd like to play, then they are happy and able to make good recommendations. If you love board games, then you need to make a visit. My daughter and I had a lovely evening together and managed to play 3 games in that time, 2 of them we had never heard of before, which was nice. We have actually pre booked to go back and celebrate her birthday with a large group of us.Kid-friendliness: Great for children to play board games instead of devices, but it's not a place for them to be running around as others want to concentrate and not have table nudged, etc. If I had younger children, I'd take them during the day, not the evening as a lot of adults came in to play and have drinks from 6pm onwards when we were there but I preferred this.

Really enjoyed this cafe! So many games to pick from and they're all pretty decent! A couple pieces missing here and there but made no real difference to the games played. The food and drinks weren't bad either. The only downsides for me, the service was more on the slower side, the table cloths are torn up (at least the ones on our table was) and should be changed and lastly, they need to put signs up so those who bring in their pets, know its not their home to be putting dogs on tables where people eat!They addressed the situation at the time when I told them so that was good but it shouldn't have happened in the first place. I guess thats more the customers gross behaviour though.

Brilliant games cafe. Loads of games of various levels of difficulty to chose from. Great food and friendly staff.Dietary restrictions: Delicious vegan options.

All the staff were super friendly, there was a good range of board games on offer, the food was very affordable and tasted good and you get given enough time that you can actually play your game and socialise.It was very popular when we visited so I'd recommend booking in before hand.
Great vegan options, pizzas were really good, enjoyed the beer, for us we can get bus directly to it with stop right outside, dog friendly was awesome as Thanos our sheepdog loved accompanying us on our outing. Can’t wait to come back.

The concept of a board game cafe is great and the atmosphere here is brilliant. It can get busy at weekends and evenings, so if you want to go then book in

Easily the best board game cafe I've been to. Spacious, amazing selection of games, great drinks and awesome atmosphere. I did not eat but the food looked good.Highly recommend
Ella Cafe
Absolute diamond in the rough... rough being, well, Croydon.. Amazing selection of games and the food is great (vegan chilli yum)! Would love if they had chips as a side but now I'm just acting spoiled.
Callum Kenney
Yeah all the 5 star reviews are well deserved. Absolutely fab venue. I would definitely recommend booking, but that’s very easy to do.With 1400 games to choose from, this is a really impressive place. Great atmosphere, well priced food, and well priced gaming.I was worried that I’d feel compelled to keep getting coffees or similar but that just isn’t the case, they give you a buzzer so you can just call over the friendly staff if you are in need of their assistance.Food is tasty, and they do bowls of snacks which are just perfect.I’d absolutely recommend this place to anyone wanting to try games.Kid-friendliness: Very good for kids. Multiple families there on my visit. Was great!Wheelchair accessibility: It’s all on a ground floor, so would be easy to accommodate.
