Cups Coffee and Board Games in Cheshire West and Chester

Been here a few times and service and drinks are really good, it’s a shame it’s closing at the end of March but worth a visit before it does, good luck for the future.

CUPS is my go-to cafe! I go almost every week - the staff are always friendly and happy to either chat or let you focus on work / reading / enjoying the gorgeous view of the cathedral directly opposite. The coffee is well-made and there's a great choice if you like the flavoured / fancy sorts of coffee too. Good selection of snacks (LOVE the cinnamon rolls here) and food (the toasties are huge and so tasty). I've also used the board game facility upstairs when I've had friends visiting - you hire a table for £5 / hour, for which you have access to SO MANY different games. Great atmosphere, great music, great coffee - would highly recommend.

I dropped in for coffee and a cake during the Christmas shopping period and they provided not only a delicious respite from the cold but also furnished me with the perfect gift in the form of a small portable board game to give to a family member who likes them. The staff were knowledgeable about games and coffee, and the cakes were excellent. I'll definitely be coming back with others to try out more of the games.

I love the idea of a games cafe. It’s a nice little place. I would have gone upstairs and paid to play their games but was in a bit of a rush. Brilliant idea. Good selection. Was going to play my own quick 10min. game downstairs but would have been charged £5. To play my own small game in a cafe. I would have been a repeat customer. I’m sure I would have bought games there. Next time I will go to any other cafe and play my own short game for free. Also the milkshakes were very expensive.

A lovely unique coffee shop. The staff are so welcoming, the coffee and cakes are delicious and if you like board games you can partake for £5. They’re also very dog friendly. I would highly recommend Cups

Really cute, lovely drinks, lush cakes (recommend the carrot cake!) and very friendly and welcoming staff! Recommend the iced teas! I had a passionfruit and lemon iced tea and it was incredibly yummy! Love supporting independent cafes over the corporations exactly for this pleasant atmosphere!

Visiting Chester and popped into Cups for a coffee. As the cakes looked so good, had to try those as well. The lemon drizzle was one of the best I have had and the coffee was equally outstanding. The service was very good too. A hidden gem opposite the cathedral. Highly recommended.

hardly raised a smile form the chap serving. food selection very poor, stale stodgy buns. £5 to play the games.

My wife and I visited by chance on a weekend break to Chester. The coffee was good, the paninis were tasty, there were over 150 games to choose from and the staff were friendly. It was only £5 for 2 hours in the games room and the staff will help to explain the games if you ask. They have competitive and cooperative games suitable for ages 7 and up. I would strongly recommend a visit.

We came here for lunch and a drink. The staff were very friendly and the food was tasty. You can buy bags of coffee or flavoured tea to take home with you.

Visited Cup coffee for first time with my Husband today. Very relaxing and amazing coffee and cake. Didn't play any games this time. But what a great idea.Look forward to next visit.

Spent an afternoon here with a group of friends and had a great time. Very good selection of board games from casual to advanced. The staff were super friendly and couldn't do more for us, they even moved some tables round so we had more room :) Big range of drinks and cakes too, couldn't be happier!

Wonderful coffee cafe, delicious cakes and great choice of drinks. Friendly staff and atmosphere. Board games a lovely idea - wish we had time to enjoy them. We'll be back.

Super cool and a great place to hang out - so many games that we'd never heard of all brilliantly explained and set up by the staff. And the staff are all so friendly. The food was great and well priced too. We want to move in .. wish we lived nearby and we'd be there all the time. This from a family aged 14, 12 and 9. All the kids normally just play on their electronic devices, but loved it!!

Lovely coffee and great service. Young chap was knowledgeable and amiable to supply a coffee exactly to my taste preference. Many thanks.

We visited Cups three times during our recent visit to Chester. Twice for coffee, and once to book a table for board games and food. We loved every visit, when we weren't playing games (NMBR 9 was our favourite), we were chatting with the very...

We’ve been here now several times and impressed each time! Great coffee & delicious cakes. If you’re into board faves then you definitely need to visit! Really friendly helpful staff too. Huge choice of coffees & hot drinks!

CUPS not only has incredible coffee but it also offers a fantastic atmosphere. Great for sitting in just for coffee and food or to play board games. I love spending time upstairs in the board game room playing new games with friends. The staff is...

Great little coffee shop. Stamp card available for coffee rewards. Always friendly staff. Easy to order. Plenty of choice of coffee, cake and sandwiches.

I visited CUPS in September with my partner and a friend. We were made to feel very welcome. The staff were very friendly. The drinks were delicious so we stayed for more! We played a card game that we had never played before. The staff...

Fantastic food and drink options (gf and vegan friendly), wonderful staff who go out of their way to make your visit special every time. Nikki and Brad are brimming with genuine passion for games and the community, and will help resolve any rules queries/cake cravings.

Great service & coffee. Popped in a few times over the last three months. Tasty food on offer. Takeout at mo. Games available to buy in shop

Love coffee, great food and a fab selection of games. The staff are very friendly and kind, offering tutorials of games and helping us get set up. We then played a group game with the other visitors with social distancing and masks etc which was...

Great cafe opposite the beautiful Cathedral, absolutely delicious coffee and snacks and huge selection of Board Games, extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff - best coffee I’ve ever tasted!

Wide selection of simple and moderate games, and recently some heavier weight games such as root and scyth have been introduced. Food is really good, particularly the flatbreads. Wide variety of interesting cakes. They often have special hot chocolates, the cherry one over Christmas was...

Met up with friends at this cute little game cafe in Chester. The owners are clearly very conscientious about cleanliness and know their stuff when it comes to board game rules. Only slight negative is that I would include some more complex games in your...
