Mayhem's Bookstore & Board Game Cafe

Now this is a gem in Lancaster City. The staff was extremely friendly and engaged in conversation about comics and events. The coffee was great and the space is great and clean. There is so much to look at and overall seems like this is a business that should stick around. I very much was impressed.

Easily one of the most noteworthy gems of Lancaster city. James recommended me one of my favorite books that I’ve ever read! Each time I go the atmosphere is comfortable and you can be as alone as you want or always find a friend. It’s important to have spaces that feel like these! Thank you, Mayhem’s. Really appreciate the way they curate their selection and how I can choose between the classics or a world of other stuff. Shout out for featuring so many stories which center on accessibility, anti-imperialist perspectives, and gender-queer/non-conforming characters. Big yes.

Amazing spot! Good drinks, nice board game selection, and their book selection is good as well. I'm excited to visit again in the future :)

Amazing new game cafe downtown! Never even knew it was there and its a little nerd paradise. Awesome place to study or chill during the day. Has a ton of graphic novels to purchase and a wall of great boardgames. Coffee and desserts are great too. Try the jasmine tea! Service is so nice. They sell mtg cards at the register and have a fun commander night everyweek on Fridays. Often has dnd games going on or other nerdy activities.

Fantastic shop, the bakery and cafe have a great selection at reasonable prices. The staff are amazing and are truly passionate about comic books and board games, they will happily help you find something in their libraries (games or books) that is right for you. The atmosphere is somehow both open and cozy/comfortable. There are multiple ways to cover your table cost, either through: just purchasing a day pass, or by purchasing a book and picking up a complimentary day pass that way, or by grabbing a monthly subscription (which comes with other perks!) 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be going back!
