Contrarian's Game Cafe — Restaurant in Vancouver

Instagram and Google reviews spoke, and we listened! We came to check it out on a date night, thinking maybe we'd play a game or two and then go on to dinner and other things.

We ended up staying and ordering pizza from Mighty Munch Mtn Curry Pizza (they delivered our pizza to us at Contrarians!!! 😍😍😍) and enjoyed some more games.

This store fills a giant hole in Vancouver. While some game stores can feel a bit dim and cluttered, this one is spacious; well lit; and so very clean. Their game library and the games they sell were organized so you can easily peruse the selection. They have a good variety of different size tables to accommodate small groups up to large parties.

This is a fantastic friendly neighborhood game store! A wide variety of gaming from card games to board games to games that are really hard to describe.

The coffee is awesome, and if you ask nicely they even have the white coffee which is smoother and extra caffeine kept behind the counter. The egg bites are good with the ham and cheese so you can get snacks that aren't all sugar like candy bars. Friendly owner and friendly staff! Also, you can just come in and enjoy your coffee you don't have to play games! And if you want to play games and don't have your own and they have a large game Library where you can borrow their games while you're here. Top Notch and excited to welcome them to the...
