I wanted to check it out to see what all the fuss was about and find out if they had anything for me to eat. Well. They don&#8217;t. If you&#8217;re vegan, don&#8217;t go there if your hungry because you&#8217;ll leave even hungrier. But at least they have soy milk (which they charge an extra 50 cents for) and will make you a latte, though the one I had today was pretty awful. Luckily, I wasn&#8217;t there for the coffee.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/prairiev\/5011107460\/\" title=\"DSCF1327 by MeShellG, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4131\/5011107460_df4492969b.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"DSCF1327\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nOn the bright side, the selection of games is amazing. I was thrilled to see over twenty different varieties of Monopoly (including Catopoly,) the Settlers of Catan (which a friend of mine wants me to try playing, and old favourites like Payday, Guess Who, Sorry, and Mastermind. The one that was missing was 10,000 Questions. I can&#8217;t even find that one online though. I probably have the name wrong.<\/p>\n<p>We played a brief game of &#8220;Being Sneaky&#8221;, an awesome game of Jenga, and a weird paper based game of Tetris. There is something so awesome about having at least five other people yell JENGA!!! when the tower topples over.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/prairiev\/5010509045\/\" title=\"Snakes and Lattes by MeShellG, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4129\/5010509045_c076075393.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Snakes and Lattes\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nThe Linux Cafe is in the same area, so it was time to check that one out too. They have a pretty great vegan item selection, on the day I went there was a Quinoa Salad, they have vegan cupcakes from OMG Baked Goodness (which for personal reasons I will no longer support,) and other vegan snacks. I picked up some Happiness (I think that&#8217;s what it was called) and it was this chewy caramel like thing with nuts, peanut butter and a bit of chocolate brownie all mixed together. Total yum. <\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/prairiev\/5011107558\/\" title=\"DSCF1338 by MeShellG, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4148\/5011107558_a0bee6c744.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"DSCF1338\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A cafe that&#8217;s been getting a lot of buzz lately is Snakes and Lattes, the boardgame cafe, on Bloor.
