    Had such a blast at Snakes & Lattes that we came twice in one weekend! My friend and I stopped by on a Friday night and were immediately impressed by the depth of options in the board game vault. Chris was an absolute gem, he took the time to listen to our preferences and made spot-on recommendations based on what we enjoyed. We ended up trying a game we'd never played before, had an amazing time just barely losing, and loved the experience so much we came back again on Sunday. This place is a great spot for board game lovers or anyone just looking for a fun night with friends. We’ll definitely be back soon!

    We went for the Roastery Experience and Tasting for my sister's birthday. We have tried in the past at other Reserve Roasteries but have never been able to make it work. Our roaster was very knowledgeable about the Starbucks roasting process - there is a lot more that goes into roasting than most coffee lovers even think of. Our host was energetic and shared fun facts, and then helped us "slurp" coffee to get all of the hints of the flavor. It was a fantastic experience!
