The Old Library Community Cafe
WHERE
Caerphilly
What it’s like
A café with board games and an under-5s area, open for coffee and a play Monday to Saturday.
Board games are the whole point here. Grab a table, order something from the café, and pull a game off the shelf while the kids get stuck into their own corner. There's a dedicated under-5s area too, so you're not trying to keep a toddler entertained with a box of Cluedo pieces.
It's an indoor spot with proper seating, which makes it a solid option when the weather's grim and soft play feels like too much noise. Wifi's there if you need to get something done while the kids play, though this reads more like a slow-morning café than a place to park up all day.
Opening hours are Monday to Saturday, 9:30am to 4:30pm, and it's closed on Sundays, so don't turn up expecting a weekend brunch fix. There's no booking mentioned, which suggests you can just walk in and see what's free.
