Im not sure her name but a girl with pink hair made my drink amazing, ive never had milk steamed so perfectly foamy and smoothe. I appreciate that these drinks are also not too sweet so you can taste the good quality espresso!

Interesting gaming cafe. I was looking for a local coffee shop and found this. Service was very friendly. Espresso drink was delicious. Coffee roasted by a local Vancouver WA roaster called Relevant.

Great atmosphere very low key and interesting we only got coffee and at 6pm no children allowed as Cafe serves alcohol drinks. Coffee was really good and the decaf didn't even taste like a decaf. Service was great and very friendly.

She melted the honey first and then stirred it into my drip coffee for me! Real cozy and fun vibe. If you’re into gaming, even better. Nice concept. I hope it makes it. There’s a bar next door 😘

This place is awesome! They have gaming PC's along the exterior wall. This coffee shop has 80's gaming and movie parifinalia all over the walls, complete with a stern overseer to glower at you on the throne. They have burgers and pizza available next door, at Vault 21, which is connected through an interior doorway. They also have boadgames you can borrow while you partake in the beverage and food choices at Vault 21. They have cookie muffins they bake on order, so expect to wait 10 minutes or so, but they are so good! Both people, in our party, we're unable to finish them. The coffee and pumpkin Chai is good. Unfortunately, if you are vegan or gluten free, there is nothing you can eat. They do have almond and oat milk options for teas and coffee beverages. They are tucked away from Mill Plain, so they are difficult to see driving by. They also don't open until 11am, so if you want your go juice at 7am or 8, you are put of luck. For those of us who enjoy sleeping in occasionally, the later opening time is fine by us. We arrived on a morning when all staff had called in for the day. So one guy was running coffee, the bar and the back kitchen for the first hour. He was so efficient, you wouldn't know he was alone. We let everyone know he was working back there alone in case there were delays, but no one had any issues. My only regret is not taking more photos.

I went in trying not to die cause I didn't have any caffeine today. Luckily I didn't die and they gave me caffeine. No but seriously, if you haven't tried this place, you need to. Good coffee, I also got some fried and nugs. (weird combo) these were the best nugs I've ever had. I'll definitely be a returning customer!

Took my 10 year old here for his birthday with the family today!!!!! The atmosphere was awesome, my 10 year old is an avid gamer so this was like paradise to him. The wife and I played the newest Mario Kart on Switch 2 while the boys played their favorite games. The pizza? 🍕 absolutely fire, best tasting pizza I’ve had in a LONG time. The fries? Super fire. The service was spectacular. We will definitely be back and we are super grateful to have found such a cool little spot!

Just popped in today after taking a yoga class next door. The staff was very nice. Very cool space and setup. I was given the wrong food but it was absolutely delicious! I ordered the Challengers Feast burrito which comes with sausage and bacon and is $20. When the food was brought out he said “vegan burrito” and it’s my fault for not mentioning it. I had to head home to get ready for work and I thought he may have just misspoke. I took a few bites and indeed there was no meat or egg. It was very, very good and I will 100% order it again actually! The only bummer is I ordered and paid for the most expensive burrito and was given the cheapest one ($15). I know they are in soft open so I’m truly not upset but upon reviewing the photo I took of the menu noticed that the vegan burrito is called the Level 7 Heroes Feast. Both having “feast” in the name may have been the issue and if I could suggest anything while they are still in soft open, I would maybe rename one of those.

In the dictionary under the word eclectic and somewhat near the word eccentric you will find my name. And then right beside that, you will find a listing for The Don’t Die Cafe. It is the epitome of off the wall oddness with a good dash of friendly welcome. The day I went in was a craft day and the place was full of interesting looking people making a variety of stuff, a lot of knitting and crocheting. Beyond that the place is filled with a variety of electronic games and there appeared to be outlets both regular and usb everywhere. It looks like a gamers paradise which although I’d rather insert a dull pen into my aging eyes than partake, it does look like a blast for who like such things. I’ll tell you what I do like though, and that is a business that understands its audience. A business that seeks its place in the community and accepts that responsibility to put out the welcome mat and make a safe space for creative folk. I spent a lot of my youth as an outsider. My interests were not exactly main stream and my brain was what I suppose now they call neurodivergent. I did not understand much of the normal world, but moved freely in other ways. It was always fascinating, but it could be lonely. What I would have given for a coffee shop like this! I would have lived there! And then, I suppose I have to review the normal things. I had a chai latte that was perfect and piping hot. The service was very friendly and informative. It felt like someone who wanted to be there. I approve! It is the kind of place that is pretty off the norm so it deserves the return support of the community. These kinds of things are rare and precious and if people don’t recognize the possibilities then it will move on and a lot of magic will be lost. It definitely goes on the list for a fun place to meet friends! I’ll bet someone would teach you how to knit too!
