Perk on the Main has a great menu. I chose Karen’s Strawberry Short Crepe, gf. It was very big and delicious! My husband chose a southwestern omelette (not gf). He also said it was delicious and a large portion. The restaurant has a college like vibe. I highly recommend giving it a try. You won’t be disappointed.

Went back in December 2024 — absolutely phenomenal cafe! It’s so unique and the owners are extraordinarily kind!
My friend and I didn’t play games because we were meeting there for tea. You do not need to play games to sit and enjoy the cafe. However, they do give table priority to those who pay to play games, and will kindly ask you to move if there are no available tables for players that just came in.
It’s $10 per person to play board games for the whole day! They have many bookshelves filled with various board games to choose from that are meant for everyone.
Additionally, (please, correct me if I am wrong. It’s been a while since my visit!) I think they have Dungeon and Dragon nights, or something similar.
I’m not celiac, however I am gluten-free. Gluten cross contamination doesn’t affect me. The reason I mention this is because they have delicious gluten-free brownie. When I ordered the brownie, the staff kindly informed me it is not celiac friendly. Which is totally okay! But, i hope my input helps anyone who is celiac or cannot have cross contamination :)
Long story short: this cafe is a rare gem in Connecticut. If you come to visit, or if you are a local, you must go to Back Again Board Game Cafe! You won’t regret it!
