About us
Two Sisters--One Dream
At The 15% Board Game Café, we’ve brewed up a concoction of fun and relaxation that’s as delightful as your favorite board game strategy (minus the endless debates over house rules).
Rebekah and Hannah, the dynamic duo behind The 15%, grew up sharing board games and developed a knack for creating memorable moments, whether it was over coffee and a homemade pastry or during a board game. Our café is the culmination of these two passions, and let’s just say, it’s the kind of place where you can roll the dice while sipping on a concoction that won’t leave you questioning your life choices.
- 300+ Board Games

Our mission? It’s simple–foster connections and celebrate diversity through the joy of board games. Our core values? Inclusivity, community, and fun.
Step into our front coffee shop area, where you can savor a variety of beverages (most likely not at the same time), indulge in delicious confections (savory and sweet), and relax in a cozy setting.
If you’re more inclined to roll dice than sip lattes, we’ve got you covered (but why not do both?). Our extensive board game library and passionate welcome players of all levels.
Whether you’re here to play board games, sip a beverage, or simply soak up the atmosphere, The 15% Board Game Café is your destination for fun, relaxation, and embracing the quirks that make each of us unique in the grand game of life.
