Thirsty Gamers Cafe is celebrating its soft opening today, Aug. 4, from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. The new business, introduced by the owners of The Sweet Palette and located in the adjoining unit, will welcome customers for the first time with a limited drink menu and pastries available. 

The previous tenant, Blanc Coffee Roasters, relocated to 417 B Hay St., leaving the space vacant and inspiring The Sweet Palette team to expand. 

The new business's library of games spans from classic nostalgia to modern hobby games. Drink, eat and connect with the community in a relaxing, welcoming environment.
