I regularly visit Piranha Café and im always greeted warmly by the staff. I attend events like their gals and pals dnd sessions but also their craft club. It is always such a welcoming environment and the food and drinks are amazing. They cater the vegans , celiac and veggies! You can see how much attention to detail is in the decor and you really get transported to another world when you enter. Always worth the visit

We stumbled across this wonderful cafe by pure accident and couldn't believe our luck. The venue is laid out in such a welcoming manner, it literally draws you in. Once inside your welcomed by the fantastic staff, warm, friendly and professional. As for the food, mind blown. My fiancée and myself opted for Burgers and fries, my stepdaughter a toasted cheese sandwich, all simply glorious. We chatted with the owner, as we were keen to introduce the venue to our friends and family, workmates etc. My fiancée is very keen try a gaming experience there. We cannot recommend the venue highly enough.

Heely don’t walk to Happy Piranha Café! Why? Maybe it’s the super kind staff who are on a side quest to make everyone feel welcome (and aren’t just NPC menaces delivering same old customer service spiel)! Maybe it’s the gooey cheese toasties, milkshakes and chips (HP cafe is more inclusive than Piers Morgan’s arch nemesis Miers Porgan, with their scrummy gluten free + vegan grub offerings)! Or maybe it’s the beautifully decorated rooms that all resemble different realms! Either way…I’ll be back (for a snack)

The cafe is run by a great team of staff. Sam is very welcoming and has taken the time to personally help me learn to play Pokemon, and introduced me to other players. He even prepared a basic deck for me to try out before I built my own. I don't think many other shops would do that. And the pricing makes it great value for your money.

Super cheap and great service! The atmosphere is so fun and we even got a free dance service by one of the staff members, the staff were funny and very interactive, made it a really fun and comfortable experience! I would recommend going if you like to see dance moves like the criss cross and the floss!!

Incredible place, the love and attention to detail given to the design of the many gaming areas, really friendly staff, great bubble tea, we’ve not eaten there yet but will be soon, the food is all freshly made and looks every bit as good as the rest of what they do. There’s a big selection of board games to borrow while you’re there, very reasonable prices for everything too. Oh, they have loads of events planned too and they’re making a lot of effort to make everything as inclusive and welcoming as possible, love the place and what they’re doing, it’s a 40 min drive from home but I think I’ll be a regular, it’s worth the travel time!

What a find!! This place is amazing. Went to just get a take away bubble tea and found this hidden gem of a cafe. They have bubble tea… a food menu… AND A GAME MENU! And we’re talking the old-fashioned physical board game type, good old interacting with friends. Absolutely loved it and can’t wait to go back !
