The Battleground Cafe is a game store and gaming space in Minneapolis/St. Paul. It is a friendly, nerdy hole-in-the-wall store with super friendly staff and amazing owners. The space has tables to spend all day at and there is always one more spot to set up for a game. It specializes in Magic the Gathering, Warmachine/Hordes, X-Wing, D&D, Pathfinder, and Warhammer, providing terrain and neutral ground to play. They have a huge variety of snacks, foods, drinks, and refreshments, including craft sodas and delicious ramen at decent prices. It is an awesome location for a great experience and fun environment for everyone, great for having fun away from screens. Please be respectful, as it is a great store.
Went in for Saturday night Commander and had a blast. Cool staff, tasty food (the Green Gobblin, omg), fair prices on cards and merch, and a welcoming atmosphere.

Amazing game store & fantastic food! We got the green goblin and spicy Josh sandwich and thought we’d come back again just for the food
