Reviews For The Gnoshery

This was such a fun place to spend a few hours of our afternoon!! We had a great time playing a few games as we sipped our coffee to warm up and then ate dinner. I would love to see more of these types of stores around my own town, but we will definitely be back here next time we're in Sturgeon Bay! They have a massive amount of board games and accessories for buying and a large shelf of games you can try out. The staff was very friendly and welcoming! The food was also very tasty and the coffee was reasonably priced. Would highly recommend to anybody who likes games!!

Super cute place where you can play board games while having lunch. Great grilled cheese, delicious, cranberry orange, muffins, and yummy smoothies. The gnomes got me so I had to go in. Tons of fun things to purchase, games, stickers, action figures. It was a cool place with a cool vibe.

Amazing!!! We were looking for a way to spend a rainy evening while camping and decided we’d sacrifice food quality for the chance to play games for a few hours. But the food was SO GOOD! We loved the vibe, our dinner, and the “Stay and Play” selection of games. The selection of games to purchase was also great. In fact, when we woke up to a soaked campsite the next morning, we decided breakfast and games sounded like a good idea and came back! The only downside is that it’s 2 hours from home so we can’t come back on a regular basis.

Wonderful selection of games, delicious food, friendly service. The Monte Cristi with blueberry sauce was amazing.

A fantastic gathering spot that throws back to a more analog life. Lots of small groups were gathered around various board games, but there was plenty of seating. It never felt awkward or uncomfortable to navigate as the staff was all very welcoming and interested in having us play games. We walked in not sure what to expect and were met with good food, surprisingly good coffee, and an incredible selection of board games to play and purchase. Great spot!!!

The food is good, but the atmosphere is awesome. Other than a ren faire, where else can you eat a sandwich while watching other customers sword fight? The Lotus drinks were so yummy too!
