I stumbled along this game cafe heading to a nearby appointment. The energy and vibe was On-Point for a game cafe. It was fun to see so many people playing various board games upstairs, a local musician working on his music, a father hanging out with his son… just a very diverse crowd, but it was buzzing with good vibes! I’m not the gamer type, but I can 100% appreciate being in a space where people can come and genuinely enjoy their time there. I ordered my SF almond milk latte (made with local Duluth Coffee Company coffee), had stellar service, and the thought of it all made me smile on my way out. 🙂

Hands down one of the best coffee shops in Duluth. Staff and owners and friendly and welcoming. Coffee is amazing, and they also have a wide variety of baked goods and creative food items. I always get a white chocolate pistachio latte and it’s the best coffee you can get in the northland, pair that with a cranberry jalapeño chicken croissant and I’m in heaven. Beautiful community space they have created here. 10/10

I went here for the first time with my boyfriend since we are both into games and enjoy trying new cafes in Duluth. I ordered the Honey Mustard Wrap and was very disappointed because I was served raw chicken in my wrap when I was already halfway done. I am currently expecting, so being served undercooked food was especially concerning and upsetting.
The staff did give a refund and the atmosphere and concept of the cafe are great, but this experience was a serious health and safety issue. I hope the staff can improve their food preparation and quality control to prevent this from happening to others.

If you’re a board game lover, or even just looking for a unique spot to grab coffee, I HIGHLY recommend you give this place a stop!! Matt, one of the owners, is super friendly and makes great conversation! The shop has a great atmosphere to it and is very clean! I got one of the Eevee-lusion drinks, honey lavender, and I throughly enjoyed it! Along with coffee they have tea options as well! Some of the drinks have a different/unique taste to them, which makes them great options if you’re looking to try something new!

We had a great experience at our first visit to Loch. The owner is a true gem and went above and beyond as far as service goes. The coffee and treats were top notch and the gaming area was perfect. We will definitely be back!

One of my favorite spots to hang out with my friends now, the Loch has excellent atmosphere. Blending the coziness of a café, with the energy of Tabletop gaming, the Loch is the perfect space to relax with friends and play games.
There are a handful of tables available downstairs for quiet work, study, or gaming, and a large upstairs full of tables (chair and bench seating available) for larger groups who may need more space.

Ahhh!!!! I am so excited they are open and was thrilled to make it in on opening day before I went to work. I arrived about 20-30 mins after opening and there was a line out the door! Plus tons of patrons already inside. The cafe looks amazing. Lots of drinks and food for sale, plus games, TTRPG building supplies, stuffed gaming merch, and The Loch merch (I got a mug!) I am so excited to see this place it looks amazing. I was even able to use the small parking lot behind the building (score!) I waited in line about 20 minutes or so (more than fine. Opening day). The owner at the cash register was greeting everyone, super friendly, and answering questions. I overheard him say they hired a DM for their hosted dnd games and when I got to work and mentioned it to my coworker, he turned out to be that dm! How cool!! (Highly recommend, very nice guy). The menu is expansive and amazing (two patrons were kind enough to hold theirs open for me since I was alone and didn’t want to lose my spot. So friendly customers AND staff here). The owner took time to answer all my menu questions and my questions about hosting my monthly book club there. The barista and the owner making the drinks were both VERY kind (despite being totally slammed) and my Sylveon latte was delicious. They were sold out of most pastries when I got there (yay them!!!) but my donut was yummy 🙂 I cannot WAIT to go back when I can stay 🙂 (hoping to go in with friends later this week or sometime next) my only hope is that they get a menu on the wall at some point, or move the menus closer to the door on long line days, but if not its really no big deal. If you need more time at the register or have (lots of) questions you will never be rushed. Duluth really lucked out here!!!

My third time here. I am not a game playing person but I love the coffee and like the food that I’ve tasted. Very welcoming of everyone that visits. No real world politics allowed, no evil characters allowed and no swearing alllowed. It makes for a pleasant visit for everyone.

I have been saying for years that I would love a coffee shop in this neighborhood – somewhere walkable, close to the university, and nothing has really stepped into the gap that Snooty Fox left. Enter The Loch. The people here are delightful. Friendly and passionate about what they do. Everything is on-theme without being pretentious. The entire space feels very welcoming and warm. They just opened, but I have high hopes that they’ll go the distance and become a neighborhood fixture.

Great little coffee shop with tabletop game items. Very cute menu with a cozy atmosphere and vibe. Gojo’s Lavender Fog and Bantha Milk was amazing.
