A great little local venue. Based on an old London bus this venue is a real treasure trove. Great for small groups there is a great assortment of ethically sourced foods and drinks. Good range of vegan options. Situated just off Station Road this feels like a taste of Borough Market in North London. What makes it stand out are the board games, the friendly staff and the fabulous ambiance. Highly recommended.

The board game bus is great - carefully curated game selection, great coffee and soft drinks and a unique cozy vibe. Two minutes walk from Wood Green station, do yourself a favour check it out.

Cakes and Ladders is a really cute place to hang out with your friends and play board games. The food isn't that great - the cheese toasties are really nice - but I think the main reason you would come to Cakes Ladders is not for the food but more for the board games. The set up is really beautiful and they have a nice selection of board games. I've been here twice and it's been really great so far!

Great hidden gem in wood green with over 400 board games set on a London bus. Serves locally brewed beers, ales and stouts.

Visited this place yesterday and had a great time! The amount of game variety on board was brilliant (although strangely no snakes and ladders which this company is presumably named after haha!). Definitely a different and interesting way of playing these games with decent cafe options alongside too! Shall definitely visit again sometime 😃😃👍🏻

Lovely area of small shops and a bus-based bar/brewery taproom. Highly recommend, great beers, nice atmosphere. Wrap up warm as it's quite a chilly wind tunnel when the sun's not out.

One of my favourite board game cafes which fortunately is right near where we live!

I love that the cafe is in an old vintage double decker bus , we visited yesterday and it was just my partner and I and played some cool board games. The owner was super friendly and helpful. The menu has a lot of selection of snacks such as cakes, crisps and amazing gelato from Crouch End and they had karma cola ( love karma drinks).

Great place to hang out with friends, go on a date and just chill. Will visit again and again because it's so local. The other shops nearby look pretty interesting too.

Very nice concept - a bus converted to a bar/restaurant with tables.

It's hidden away in a quiet area behind a busy road, giving it a feel of being in a relaxing village.

The staff were very friendly, greeting us with a friendly smile.

The bus has a large selection of beers to choose from.
