I wished this place served better food options because it really is my favourite date night place. I guess they dont want sticky fingers and grease on the games which is understandable.
A lot of fond memories and laughs and tiffs had here over a vast variety of board games and Mario kart. It's such good value and a cheap and memorable date night.
Game recommendation: Ghost Blitz
And they do a pretty good affogato and iced chocolate!
Had an awesome time! Staff was very helpful and helped us find the best games to suit our group. Waffles were delicious :-)
Great concept and menu!
Will definitely be back!
Great drinks & cakes here but what's better is the staff!! They were so kind and understanding when my group of friends and I accidentally stayed longer than we paid for! Great selection of games as well, never fail to have fun at Cafe Myriade!!
Former fan but not anymore. EDIT: Action has since been taken, this review was no longer needed, please ignore
HAPPY HOUR HAPPY TIMES. I frequent Cafe Myriade quiet a bit and nothing beats a great time during happy hour.
For $9, you can play boardgames from 2-7pm Fri-Sun. Especially for those long intense board games, this is so value for money.
The staff are immpecable. They have played all the games themselves and can run you through them - especially for people like me that refuse to read instructions.
The desserts are made externally and they have a great selection. Great place to catch up with friends - or destroy friendships depending...
Found this place by typing 'top desserts in northbridge' and this cute little cafe was the first place that popped up! First time we've been here and first time ever have seen a cafe with awesome desserts and coffee with games that you can play on the side!! What a awesome idea! Food we had was amazing and the way the greeted us was the nicest way we have ever been treated in a long time at a cafe. Super happy and definitely will come back again :)
Oh that cake. Had the Ferrero Rocher cake. Goodness gracious!! Great stuff. And full of nice people.
Good concept but needs improvement. Oganised a social event for a friend who was visiting from overseas. The games were great but the food menu was lacking. Only had a choice of two items from the hot savoury food menu and when the food was brought out my dessert was brought out before the pie I ordered as it was still cooking in the oven.
Pros: friendly staff, loads of games to choose from
Cons: poor quality and not enough options with choice of food, beverage menu was average and cakes were not fresh.

Food for the mind and a sweet-toothed body.. I have been attending Cafe Myriade since it opened - being a boardgamer for decades it was pretty exciting for us when it opened up. Board game cafes were something that happened in other, more sophisticated cities a long way away.
Cafe Myriade has maintained a consistently friendly, knowledgeable and professional standard of service. The desserts are interesting, and the gluten free ones are so nice it's best to check to see if there are any the day before you go in, because they're popular and disappear! They do waffles and hot savoury snacks as well. (not GF)
Both the desserts and coffee are well worth visiting even if you're not interested in boardgames. But if you're not interested in boardgames perhaps you should be - whether you have kids or not.
But especially if you have kids. Apart from the old saying that the family that plays together stays together, boardgames help children develop social skills, and exercise numeracy and literacy without even realizing it. Pattern recognition, decision making and strategy and problem solving just happen.
Not to mention that it's pretty cheap entertainment!
As a start, ask the staff to teach you and your kids, if any, Spot It! followed by King of Tokyo. Both these games are enjoyable icebreakers which should animate even the most reserved. After all, who wouldn't enjoy being the biggest monster in Tokyo, with lots of chunky dice to roll? Hey That's My Fish!, when you are penguins trying to collect the most fish is also appealing to children and adults alike. These are quick games, accessible to children and adults alike. You could easily fit a couple of games of each into one of the affordable packages Cafe Myriade offers.
And these are just a few suggestions. Want to teach kids to work together? Or need a break from the ultra-competitive spouse? Try the exciting Forbidden Island, save the treasures before the island sinks! Goes well with the cafe's excellent iced chocolate. Or try the firefighting Flashpoint, or help stop the spread of disease with Pandemic and the Centre for Disease Control, also part of the rapidly growing co-operative genre.
Build words with Bananagrams or find out how far you can push your luck with Can't Stop or Incan Gold. There are whole worlds to be explored out there, and there are friendly people to teach you, and delicious treats to also assist in helping you play.
I try to visit Cafe Myriade at least once a month, sometimes more, since it opened a couple of years ago, and I've always had a good time.
Top marks from me.

Firm Favourite After One Visit. Remember the days when boardgames were the staple source of entertainment and battle of wits in the family home? Cafe Myriade brings this back with gusto.
This little cafe tucked in around the corner from the bright lights of Northbridge signature is board games. They have an incredible library of board games. To quote one staff member, "We have games so much better than Monopoly."
And boy do they. There are the childhood favourites included like Cluedo, Guess Who? and Operation. However there are a whole lot more games in boardgames and this is where the staff shine in customer service.
Someone approaches you upon entry and asks whether you've visited before. VERY important because you pay for your time in the cafe to play their games and the rates are really reasonable. They also do Murder Mystery Nights catered especially for your group!! FINALLY somewhere central in Perth that does this.
Where was I? Okay. There are packages of game play plus drink and dessert or you can pay by the hour. The staff point out which one works out cheaper for your plans for the day or night if you're unsure. There are also Happy Hour Specials which on a Saturday from 2PM - 7PM is $9 per person for the entire five hours of game play. It sounds like a lot for us newbies being introduced by friends of ours, but four hours went by FAST.
I understand that you may have your hearts set on a particular game from childhood or you want to settle a score from yesteryear with a foe. Totally doable but explore the games. How this works is that a staff member will ask what you what you want to play. You can let them choose and they ask for what kind of game you would like to play and your interests. Then they wander off to their library of games from A-Z and come back with a game and teach you and your friends how to play. The let you play and come back to see how you're going. What's more, they're genuinely interested in how you're finding gameplay. You can have some serious in depth discussions here. The boardgame nerd within me, (never knew I had one), loved this so much.
They are also totally honest about whether they have personally played it or have just taught a game. What is invaluable is description of how they or other people have found gameplay so you sort of know what you're getting into.
The food. Well there's a selection of cakes and even waffles for under $10. There are also savouries for under $10 and the price of savouries gets discounted with the purchase of a package. There are also gluten free options.
The drinks. There's coffee, tea, soft drinks, and juices. For groups you can order juices and soft drinks by the jugs.
And if that's not enough, there are also Wii games available as well.
Definitely returning. Never had so much fun in a cafe anywhere.
This place is fantastic for bringing a group of friends and playing a HUGE variety of board games while drinking your favourite coffee. There is a decent selection of savory snacks, cakes, tarts and drinks to choose from. The staff are rather helpful with showing you how to play the games and will recommend games for you as well.
I have enjoyed every visit to this little cafe and I certainly recommend you try it at least once as it is the first of its kind in Perth.
They have a great selection of boardgames, and Nintendo Wii games available for play, as well as a variety of drinks and desserts. It's in a great location with food nearby so you can come here afterwards to have dessert and play some games.
The lady serving us was very friendly and polite. The chairs were comfortable and if I was back in town, I wouldn't hesitate to come here one night again for some games. I got an ised chocolate, while other members of our group also got desserts such as various types of mouth-watering cakes.
The only downside was a brawl between some drunk Aboriginals out the front while we were playing, but that's Perth's CBD in a nutshell :P Police soon showed up to arrest them.
Super place, best to check they have gf cakes beforehand. Also take care if you are going to play their excellent range of board games not to do it at a time that coincides with the noisy computer game events.
Awesome place - great atmosphere, huge selection of games, and the staff are very helpful. The food and drinks are great too. Game recommendation - Geisters Blitz. So weird but so good.
Good service, the owners know their games and they have a wide variety. The actual games are a little rundown, but overall it's always a treat to go and is a great social outing with friends.
Café with tables by the hour and a large selection of board games and activities available to play. Great for social occasions and ideal for families with children
