Meeple’s Brew – Morrisville

Meeple’s Brew is a board game cafe on Chapel Hill Road in Morrisville, a short way east of the Cary line. Owners Sean Kim and Justin Sargent run it along with a second store on Bass Pro Lane in Cary, and Raleigh Realty has called it the Triangle’s first board game cafe.

The library holds more than 850 games across the two stores. The counter makes espresso drinks with house-made syrups, smoothies and milkshakes, and the kitchen turns out flatbreads, wraps, sandwiches, waffles and avocado toast. Beer, cider and mead are on the menu too, which makes it the one coffee shop in Morrisville that pours them.
