My 7 year old and I had a fabulous time visiting The Outpost. Lots of other families were there mid day too. So many games to choose from. It was incredible to have so many choices. There is definitely something for everyone. We were given some helpful recommendations from the staff for kids games and they did not disappoint! The sandwich melts were delicious and made fresh. We will definitely be back again. Thank you for opening such a great spot to play in the westshore!

The Outpost is an amazing place run by amazing people to fuel an amazing community. It might be stupid to use amazing three times in one sentence, but I can’t emphasize it enough! This place is amazing. The vibes are great, board game selection is good, and if you’re willing to take some time to learn some new stuff it’s amazing! Food is delicious. I find the normal grilled cheese is a tad dry, but if it has meat or something juicy (pickles, etc) it helps a lot and makes the sandwiches amazing. Food is mildly expensive for a broke highschooler such as myself, but if I had a job… man. I wouldn’t be making such long reviews. I’m just so happy we have a board game cafe that’s in the neighbourhood. Thank you for existing, Outpost!

We recently spent an evening at The Outpost Board Game Cafe and we didn't want to leave! The game options are endless - so many to choose from! Each person in my family has their own definition of what a fun night of board games would look like and we all collectively had a blast! I'm also looking forward to taking my homeschooler here regularly for some gameschooling. Friendly staff, and the food was delicious. We went to town on the chips and the Outpost Melt. SO good! And seeing as the overall vibe was relaxed, cozy, and welcoming, we ended up closing the place down!

I came here tonight with my friend and this place didn't disappoint. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by a friendly staff member who checked us in. It's a great vibe in here, wonderful staff, clean, engaging and cozy with a ton of game options and delicious food. Friend and I each had a sandwich. I'll definitely come back and support this place. Lovely experience. :)

This boardgame cafe is exactly what was needed in Langford! No more driving into downtown to play games for date night! The place was very large and ample tables so that you felt comfortable. Lots of selection and a good variety of games. Played a couple I had never played before! There's even good games for sale at the front shelves. The chips are delicious and the rest of the food was amazing. Very impressed with their vegan options too! We did not try a Bop-tart this time but we will the next time for sure! I can see many people coming here on the regular. Great service too, fast and friendly. Well done Outpost!!! We'll be back

I am in town on vacation and came to the Outpost for lunch and games with my parents and 12 year old. We all enjoyed our food, and the iced caramel macchiato was super duper tasty. We played three different games and quickly passed a few hours without even realizing it. There is a cafe section and they offer takeout as well if you're looking for a bite without playing any games. There are also games and puzzles for sale, dice packs, and outpost merch. The staff were super helpful to find a specific game I wanted to play, and I saw there are lots of events that happen here like a weekly chess night, family friendly trivia nights, and a 19+ murder mystery coming up in July. I will definitely be back when I get the chance!

As soon as you enter this cafe, you are greeted with enthusiastic staff and smiling faces. The left side of the store displays all new games they have just added and the back side of the store has a huge collection of board games. The vibe of this place is nothing like any others in the city. Kudos to the people who thought of this concept. They hold regular events for various age groups. This combination of food and games is interesting and they are doing a good job at both. Coffee was good as well. They have options for people with gluten sensitivity
