Glad to have discovered Twist! If it’s a rainy day and you’re stuck on what to do then here’s your answer. Hundreds of board games to choose from and only 5pp for up to 4hr play. The food and drinks menu is vast and the service is friendly too! Highly recommend, we’ll be back... Ps: The Moving Mountains Miso Burger is a must for all the plantbased folks

Twist the "Board game Cafe" is a place I have been meaning to visit for months. When I heard of the concept for the place before opening I was excited, something new and exciting for Plymouth and finally seeing it my expectations have been more then met. Twist Cafe serves Coffee's and Tea's, have a variety of flavoured syrups and offer milk alternatives including Oat milk at No extra charge which is quite pleasantly unusual. They also serve a good selection of alcoholic drinks including Ciders, Beers, Ales and spirits intact the drink selection was much more extensive then I expected by far. I had a Caramel Latte which was very nice and a great partner to the podcast I was listening to. I was a little peckish so decided to have a slice of Carrot Cake which was nice and decently sized and tasty. The main attraction however is the HUNDREDS of board games you can play and I mean hundreds! Shelves full of them and apparently even more had hiding upstairs that I did not see. The board game goes from classics like versions of Monopoly (from classic to Mario Kart edition and more) to Catan, Dark Souls, Wingspan basically all the board games you can think of and so many more you have never heard of. This will be a perfect place to have a nice drink, play a game and just have a laugh the decor and atmosphere is nice and relaxed that is perfect to play some games. Will have to return with company to play some games can't wait to return to Twist .

5/5 stars Well decorated, nicely designed, friendly boardgame cafe with lots of choice. Love that the tables had space underneath them to place the boardgame boxes. A big thank you to the female staff member working on Nov 2nd who was incredibly friendly and very kindly explained to us how Sushi Go! was played. Also there was a great choice of food to eat on the menu, I loved the pepper and chilli rice bowl. Was a lovely way to spend my birthday

What a fantastic place! I visited with a few friends for a birthday celebration, and we had an amazing time. The board game selection is incredible – they have just about every game you can imagine. While the sheer variety can feel a bit overwhelming, the staff are excellent at helping you find the perfect game. Their recommendation for us was spot on! The food was absolutely delicious, with portions larger than expected, and everything we tried was incredibly tasty. The atmosphere is equally impressive – warm and inviting, with options for everyone. We enjoyed some drinks during happy hour, but the space is also perfectly family-friendly if you want to bring the kids. Or, for a more relaxed vibe, you can cozy up with tea or coffee. Highly recommend for a fun, memorable outing!

I haven't been here for a while.....the last time I came was when they first opened, I forgot how good it is! It's a fab place to try out lots of different board games before you buy them! I think it costs 7 quid each to have access to something like 700 games which is insane! The food was great, very simple and easy but very pleasant.....but the staff were fab! We had a guy who was so attentive and it was his first shift! Very impressed! Thanks guys. Can't wait to come back!
