Coral Sword

With an assortment of board games and card games for use (after spending $5) this place offers plenty for those who want to have a fun time together or just have a coffee and study. I only have had the bagel for the food at the time of writing this and I wasn't all that impressed unfortunately but it doesn't take away from the score considering I look forward to returning and trying more items. Very reliable wifi and the coffee was good!

Quiet during afternoons. Good place to get work done. They have cold sub sandwiches too with cookies, and other bread treats.

Really great cafe. Cozy and chill, whether you want to play games, do work, have coffee, or a beer.

Really friendly staff, very clean tables, restroom, etc, very upbeat lively atmosphere, wall sockets for laptops, will be returning quite often.

Definitely a niche spot for gamers, coffee enthusiasts, and people who work of a laptop. Lots of outlets and welcoming staff.

Not a good place for working.

First thing I want to say is that the first few times I came in I fell in love with the place. I brought my family here as well because of the drinks, food and especially because of mtg. Therefore, when I learn about the owner be unreasonable I’m not afraid to speak out. If you’re gonna tell some people that in order for them to be able to stay and play/work on there laptop they HAVE to buy something then you HAVE to tell EVERYONE that comes in your shop. Half of the people there are college students and not everyone can afford to buy stuff. If you’re gonna in force it then put a sign on every door so that each person can see it because it’s obvious that not everyone is informed about this. People that go there just to play are not always going to want to buy anything because either they don’t want to or because THEY CAN’T AFFORD ANYTHING but they want a place they know they can go to a shop and still feel welcomed. Card game shops don’t do that, they don’t force customers to buy anything and you have a coffee/card game shop. Now I know that I can’t bring my family here anymore even it’s a really nice place.

Here's the short version for those unwilling to read the novel I've written below: it's very good; you should go here and get a chai latte.

Environment: Coral sword is an extremely welcoming and comfortable environment. The staff is kind, knowledgeable, and willing to answer questions about the games or drinks. The dining and service counter areas are always clean, even on packed nights. During the day the cafe is pretty chill, filled (but not too full) with students and remote workers. The cafe tends to be busier in the evenings (or weekends) and hosts multiple events every week, with plenty of opportunities for magic or tabletop players. It's a great place to bring your own group and play board games. I also go there to work on my laptop and have never had trouble finding an outlet as there are multiple outlets along every wall.

Accessibility & Inclusivity: The building has its own parking lot, but it is small and those going during busy times may have to find street parking. The cafe seems fairly accessible, but some of the spaces between tables are tight, especially during a packed house. The neighborhood and area around the building is not as accessible, but the crumbling asphalt and cement is by no means the responsibility of this establishment. There is a ramp on the side of the building, near the front. The doors are standard full-glass pull doors seen in many businesses. The cafe has a welcoming culture and I regularly see a diverse group of people here.

Food & Drink: The drinks are amazing. I've never had a drink from here that wasn't delicious. Patricia makes a great chai latte. The first sip transports you to another realm, The Flavor Realm, where the weather is always beautiful and the traffic is always light. The food menu selection is small but the choices are solid. If you are genuinely hungry, you might find the food to be more snackish than filling. However, the snackish foods are perfect to munch on while hanging out with friends or working on your laptop. The prices are pretty standard cafe prices. I generally spend $5-6 on each drink and another $5-10 if I get a food item. You can certainly get a drink here for cheaper, but I tend to opt for larger sizes or extra espresso. I've never had the beer from here, but I've been told by my friends who drink that the beers were good choices.

Overall, Coral Sword is a great spot and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cool spot to hang out, a fun time, or just a really good coffee. Since consistent quality is a big part of any business-to-customer relationship, attached are photos from a few of my visits.

Just my kind of place : )
Great atmosphere to work remotely, study, and take my teen kids to get some homework done. Additionally, this cafe is great to have a great time together with the family since they have a bunch board games available to play.

During the week days in the early morning, this place is superb for getting work done. Great coffee, friendly staff, cool vibe.

Recommend: Iced Honey Latte

Super excited I stumbled across this place after being rerouted to another destination. It’s so lovely inside and quiet for a coffee shop work day as well. The staff are very friendly and the drinks and food… A++!
