Plucky’s Cafe is a Burlingame Favorite
A cozy neighborhood spot just minutes from SFO where you can eat, drink, and play. We offer over 500 board games, from quick card games to deep strategy titles, alongside artisanal third-wave coffee, fresh handmade food, and a rotating lineup of community game events. Inspired by the fun-loving board gaming culture, our cafe aims to bring a feeling of home to people who visit.
Whether you're a first-time visitor or a regular, Plucky's is the kind of place you'll want to come back to. Enjoy breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner, sip on a locally roasted espresso or a signature dulce de leche latte, and share special moments with friends, family, or fellow game lovers. We're open 7 days a week at 1352 Broadway, Burlingame, CA.

How it works
-
From casual to competitive, and easy-to-learn to expert—we foster a community where every type of gameplay is encouraged and enjoyed.
Free-to-Play Selection: You can enjoy one hour for free when playing from our curated "Free-to-Play" library. This specialized collection includes a variety of easy-to-learn card games and pick-up-and-play board games.
Bringing Your Own? The same "one hour free" rule applies if you bring your own games from home.
Staying Longer? If you wish to continue playing after your first free hour, each additional hour is only $5/person
Play Anything: If you want full access to our entire premium library of over 300 games to choose from including heavy strategy titles, party games for large groups, new releases, and kick-starter games, the rate is a flat $5/person, per hour. Play as many games as you like.
Children under 12 are half price.
For all game experiences, please check in and receive a game stand with a time stamp.
