Great little place. Never have I seen so many board games. Carol is a great host, and their D&D sessions are great fun. Highly recommended little gem.

Couldn't be happier to find somewhere like this on our holidays. Puts London's board game cafes to shame. Great selection, lovely community spirit.

What a lucky find! We choose to spend the day in Ilfracombe as I was working locally in the evening. On the way back we found Dice and a slice. What a fantastic board game cafe, we had 2 drinks, played a game and bought one too. Will be back ;)

Me and my family had an amazing time! The staff were so helpful and patient in teaching us a few games that we're new to us. To top it all off the cake was delicious!

I popped into this store today whilst on holiday. The guy that runs it is really friendly and polite. I was blown away at the absolutely enormous collection of board games and games of all genres that they have there if I lived up this way honestly I would never buy a game from anywhere again without visiting this store and testing it out first Strongly recommended a visit to this location

Stayed in Ilfracombe for a wedding and discovered this cafe right outside our hotel! We love board games so spent an evening in here. Played a few games we already knew but the owner was great at picking some new games for us and teaching us how to play. Had a pizza and coffee, both nice. Also bought a game from here too! We'll definitely be back if we head that way in the future.

Stopped into the board game cafe while staying in Ilfracombe. The owner was incredibly helpful and friendly and let us play one the newest released games. Really enjoyable experience, no time pressure so we were able to learn a new game and finish it. Lovely cup of tea too, didn’t try the food but smelt and looked good.
