Snakes & Lattes Tempe

Cute spot with endless games, coffee flights, and cozy vibes! Snakes & Lattes is such a fun, unique spot! The location is huge, super cute, and has both indoor and outdoor seating. I came for a meetup group and had a great time. There are way more games here than I ever knew existed—literally walls of options—and they offer coffee, soft drinks, a full bar, and food. When I first arrived, I went to the bar to order and was kindly redirected to use the QR code at the table instead (which was super convenient). I couldn’t decide what to try, so I went with the coffee flight, which included: Black coffee on ice – Slightly sour, likely due to the beans being ground a bit too coarse. Dirty chai latte – My favorite! Strong chai flavor and the milk balanced out the espresso beautifully. S’mores cold foam – Pretty intense. The mocha base + marshmallow foam was very sweet—great if you have a big sweet tooth. Vanilla caramel – Also sweet, not my thing but not terrible. After sitting indoors for a couple hours, I got chilly and ordered a hot latte. It had a subtle floral note I wasn’t expecting—maybe from the oat milk or an added syrup? Not bad, not amazing, but it warmed me up. Service was pretty quick, and food came out fast too. Some folks in my group got the spinach artichoke dip and chicken sandwiches and said they were solid. My only real gripe is the price—$28 for a 4-drink flight and one latte is steep. But considering the atmosphere, games, and great company, it’s still worth a visit!

Super cute restaurant that provides board games and delicious food! I love the payment system they have set up and they have so many games to choose from. I also like how there is a game master that comes to each table and can explain the game you want to play. So fun for friends and family!

I wanted to come here for the longest time, and I FINALLY made it!! I found out their brunch trivia morning on a Sunday and I committed to making it this time with my lovely friends!! The entire experience was lovely. The flow was smooth. There were no awkward moments and we were given plenty of time to order our food and beverages (via a QR code) eat, and chitchat with each other in between parts of the trivia game. The hosts were lovely and they sounded loud enough for everyone to hear (their AV system is great), so even if you’re seated at a corner, you’ll be fine. The trivia was hosted at one side of the venue, and I didn’t get a chance to check out the other end, but it seemed like there was another birthday party going on at the same time. Now I have an excuse to go back! Of course, I’ll have to check out the game wall at the corner thoroughly as well!!

Very fun place! They have all kinds of games you can check out, pretty much any game you can think of they have available. The espresso martini was delicious, and I highly recommend it. The food was pretty good. It was a little slow getting to us, and it wasn't super warm, but the flavors were good. They have a "dice shot" that you can order, and that was super fun. You pick a dice, and they bring over this castle that you drop the dice in, and your shot is determined by the number your dice lands on. Plus, you get to keep the dice as a souvenir. The decor is super fun, and the chairs are pretty comfortable, we didn't play a game but would have been comfortable enough for a couple hours had we chosen to play a game.

Delicious food. I had a side of Korean Chicken and a Oatmilk Caramel Latte. The staff is so kind. What a cool atmosphere! A bar, a cafe and game lounge. There is something for everyone. I highly recommend.

I have been coming to Snakes & Lattes in Tempe for several years now. Every time I have stopped by, I have had a great experience. The food is excellent. I like that they have a nice selection of food on their menu. While everything on their menu I have tried has been great, their macaroni and cheese stands out the most. It is some of the best macaroni and cheese I have ever had. You can never go wrong with their desserts either. I have tried every dessert they offer, and they are all fantastic in their own way. To the best of my memory, Snakes & Lattes is where I had my first affogato. While I have had an affogato from several restaurants now, Snakes & Lattes is where I had my initial one. The affogato is a perfect combination of sweet and bitter. Their skillet cookie and waffle sundaes are also excellent choices if you are craving anything sweet. The staff is friendly and attentive. To my knowledge, the only time I have been there is during lunchtime, which tends to be their quietest time during business hours, as they have told me and from experience. Thus, I have had some friendly conversations with the staff about sports and what they enjoy doing for fun outside of work. Another thing I like about Snakes & Lattes is its low-key atmosphere. Not only are there many board games to play, but it is also a brilliant spot to unwind and get a breather in before resuming the workday. It also helps that Snakes & Lattes is within walking distance of my workplace. I would highly recommend Snakes & Lattes to anyone looking for a place to relax, play board games, and grab a bite to eat in downtown Tempe.

I thought I left a review already but apparently I didn't. This was SO fun! I have a group of gals that I went with, as well as my husband and we all loved it! The food is really good, better than anticipated actually, the drinks were as well. We had the mozz sticks, nachos, and spinach and artichoke dip and they were all fantastic. The marinara was warm. The nacho Cheese tasted homemade. The games were a blast, 6 dollars a head to play but that was worth it. We played cards against humanity, like the cultured sophisticated individuals we are. I honestly had so much fun I didn't remember to take any pics. I'll have to go again to get some- yeah that's why I want to go again... not because of how absolutely fun it was!

"My favorite cheese is the one you keep around for emergencies. Just in queso." ― @primawesome, Twitter/X Do you know what you need before hitting an ASU game? Carbs! Nachos and beer, baby. Plus an addition of wings too! - Nachos ($19 + $4 for grilled chicken): I can never say no to chips. It could be with guacamole, salsa, or cheese and I'm here for it. The nachos at Snakes & Lattes are legit. You get an "A" Mountain sized pile of chips. Do you need the extra protein? Maybe not. But we were seeing an ASU game in the late August heat. Let me have some protein. - Garlic Parmesan Wings ($15): I wasn't expecting a BWW saucy situation but I'm not mad about it. They were good sized, plumped, and tasty. - OHSO Popcycle Blonde ($8): One of my favorite brews in town and I'm not even a fan of beer. I love the Popcycle Blonde though because It tastes like a lemon raspberry popsicle at an ABV of 4.5%. Don't question it. Just get it. Enjoy food, drinks, and over 1000 board games!
