Cool place! I came here to try learning mahjong 🀄️I love how there are a lot of food/snack options. I didn’t browse the games but it looked like they had a lot of them. Restrooms were clean! Reasonable size parking lot too.

Awesome place to meet up and play some games! They have Novo coffee and make some great espresso and cold brew plus they have a good amount of quick food options. They have a community puzzle area, several games to borrow, tons of cool games for sale, and a ton of tables to sit and play at. Awesome to see a locally owned and operated place and everyone should check it out!

Really cool gaming place in Lakewood. Locally owned and operated. It just opened about a week ago. Very clean. Nice sitting area for concessions. They sell board games Warhammer Magic other games and pieces. I'm not actually a gamer so I'm not sure what some of these things are called. They also had a puzzle table. There's a large area in the back for playing games.
The prices at the concession are very reasonable and great choices. The owners were there. They were very nice and inviting. They are going to have events not sure when. Should put up a calendar of events somewhere inside and maybe on a window so people can see it.
They had paints for game pieces also.
Very nice clean and inviting.

It's cute. It's got a lot of things for gamers. And, it's got space for game events.

The food and coffee were pretty standard. It was not really my thing though. At least I was able to get some work done there. It felt like I was stuck in one of those twilight zone kind of movies. I think gamers love this though. There was some privacy.

Wanted a place to play some board games to kill some time. This was a great place to do it. Ordered a coffee, paid the rental fee, and had a good time playing patchwork. Staff was super friendly.

What an amazing new place to gather and enjoy a delicious bite and drink (I recommend their lattes) while playing some tabletop games!

Elysium has such a welcoming atmosphere and a great selection of unique and fun board games! I love that there's a table for a community puzzle and a huge space for people to gather and have fun. I can't wait to visit them during one of their many events nights!

I know that Elysium's focus is games, and they definitely deliver for that crowd. Each time I stop by people are having a great time playing.

I'm not a gamer, so I can't speak in any great detail about that side of their business. What I am is a barista with an absolutely insane coffee/caffeine addiction that gets me stopping all over the place in search of good brew. Elysium doesn't disappoint in regards to their coffee beverages. Everything that I've gotten I have thoroughly enjoyed. I also have a pretty great time working on whatever puzzle they have going when I visit. 🧩🧩

I'll keep showing up as long as they keep making a good cup of coffee. 🙂☕️

The poor cashier working tonight (3/2/25) was working all alone to service 60+ people in this cafe. It was actually diabolical. They were so polite and calm even though they were obviously overwhelmed. Smells pretty bad with that many sweaty gamers in there 💀 food and coffee is pretty terrible and overpriced. Tables are a decent size- could fit 10 people. Place does have some amazing board games and figurines!
