The Meeples Cafe, Gilbert

What makes The Meeples Cafe unusual is its focus on game play: both in-store and rental. They even have their own game league and small retail store. The cafe serves up casual food such as snack combos, salads, hot dogs, nachos, and desserts as well as soda and coffee. The place can boast a bright and fun “chill space" and a library of board games with over 400 titles. The menu includes:

• Seattle-Style Combo: choice of grilled chicken sandwich, hot dog, nachos, or loaded fries with cream cheese, onion, jalapeno, and sriracha
• Taco Salad tortilla chips with shredded cheddar cheese, lettuce, and chili, topped with sour cream and salsa
• Kids' Combo - Banana Dog: banana with peanut butter and jelly wrapped in a tortilla, served with a side and drink
