ME Cafe & Games operates at Orchard Gateway combining food and beverage offerings with gaming entertainment, creating a hybrid leisure destination appealing particularly to younger demographics seeking spaces for socializing while playing board games, video games, or other gaming formats. Gaming cafes have emerged as popular third spaces providing alternatives to conventional restaurants or coffee shops by adding interactive entertainment dimensions encouraging longer visits and repeat patronage.
Gaming cafe concepts typically offer combinations including beverage and food menus generating revenue during extended gaming sessions, extensive game libraries spanning board games, card games, and potentially video gaming equipment, comfortable seating and table arrangements accommodating gaming groups, and pricing models balancing cover charges or minimum spending requirements with accessibility. Successful gaming cafes create welcoming atmospheres where casual and serious gamers feel comfortable, maintain well-organized game libraries, and balance food quality with the recognition that gaming rather than dining serves as primary draw.
ME Cafe & Games operates at Orchard Gateway during extended hours accommodating after-work and evening crowds when gaming cafe traffic typically peaks. The establishment serves friend groups seeking interactive hangout options, couples on casual dates, and gaming enthusiasts pursuing hobby interests in social rather than solitary contexts. The location in a major Orchard Road shopping complex provides foot traffic and accessibility while the connection to Somerset MRT station enhances reach to youth demographics from across Singapore.
Today,I walk into the cafe and the first thing I saw was the stuff, 1.She looked really ANNOYED when I was talking to her to buy the drinks but instead of suggesting us on what drinks are there, she ROLLED HER EYES at us as if we were taking really slow. She was wearing black glasses and she had a dead blonde hair colour at the end of the hair.When my friends and I were just about to go into the tent, She TALKED TO US RUDELY and asked if we knew how to play the games .BUT INSTEAD of TALKING NICELY WITH A NICE ATTITUDE SHE SAID IT WITH A RUDE TUNE AS IF WE DO NOT KNOW THAT SHE IS PISSED AT US. here’s what she said “ DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW TO PLAY OR USE THE CONTROLLERS!?”( and rolled her eyes)2. THE DRINKS,the drinks were fine BUT it was too SUGARY and it was a bit hard to drink. PLEASE take ACTION on the staff OR TEACH HER ON HOW TO BRING A BETTER ATTITUDE WHEN GOING TO WORK.🙏

I CANT BELIEVE THIS HORRIBLE MESS OF AN EXPERIENCE! ON THE 16TH OF DECEMBER 2025, WE WENT TO MECAFE, AND WHAT A DISASTER! THE GIRL WITH GLASSES AND DREADFUL BLONDE ENDS IN HER HAIR—AN ARROGANT, IRRITATING ATTITUDE AS IF WE OWE HER OUR VERY SOULS! WE WERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO CONNECT THE CONTROLLERS, AND SHE SIMPLY SAYS, “HELLO THIS IS NOT HOW U DO IT LET ME DO IT”—AS IF WE’RE IDIOTS! THE INTERNET CONNECTION WAS ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE—WE MANAGED TO PLAY ONLY ONE ROUND IN OVER AN HOUR BECAUSE OF THIS GARBAGE SERVICE. THE DRINKS? WAY TOO SWEET, JUST SUGAR OVERLOAD THAT MADE OUR TASTE BUDS REEL IN HORROR. AND THE STAFF—ROLLED THEIR EYES, GAVE US AN ATTITUDE LIKE WE WERE BOTHERING THEM, UNPROFESSIONAL AND RUDE BEYOND BELIEF! WHEN WE EXITED THE TENT, THIS SAME GIRL HEADED HER HEAD UP HIGH, SIGNALING “WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING” IN A CONDESCENDING WAY, AND THEN HAD THE AUDACITY TO ASK “WHRRE U guys going?” LIKE WE WERE IN THE WAY! WE PAID $84 FOR JUST ONE DAMN GAME BECAUSE OF THE ABSOLUTE FAILURE OF INTERNET AND SERVICE, WHICH WAS GARBAGE! WE EXPECTED A FUN, EXCITING EXPERIENCE BASED ON WHAT WE SAW ON INSTAGRAM, BUT WHAT DID WE GET? DISAPPOINTMENT, FRUSTRATION, AND A VERY STRONG DESIRE NEVER TO RETURN! THIS PLACE IS A JOKE!

This place would be a good recommendation for those who truly love cats. The cats were very cute, but not very active, and they didn’t seem interested in playing, which was a bit disappointing. Compared to when the place first opened, it felt like the cat area wasn’t being maintained as well anymore. It would be great if they could give a little more attention and care to that part of the space.
The board games available were quite worn out and looked like they could use some refreshing or replacement.
If you’re thinking of using the tent area, I’d strongly recommend making a reservation in advance. We tried to use it without a booking, but unfortunately, it wasn’t allowed. It was a little disappointing, especially since the area wasn’t fully occupied at the time. A bit more flexibility in that regard would have made the experience even better.

The staff were extremely friendly and the experience was quite positive overall. The cat area was a little cramped and some cats are quite sleepy and not playful. The highlight was definitely the little kittens. They were way more playful and actually interacted and ran around, always engaging with the cat toys and they were more willing to be carried. The price is a little steep but I would say its worth for the experience.

Played exploding kittens with the cats. They didn't explode. 10/10 would recommend.
Wonderful place to unwind. The cats are so gentle and cute.
Eggy is so funny and lazy. Candy is sweet and beautiful.
The staff is nice and helped us take photos and printed a souvenir for us as well.
Pricing is reasonable, with drinks included. Drinks are not bad too. We had a blast. Will be back!

My first time visit to ME Cafe & Games and turn out to be great experience. Never experience playing intendo switch with a big tv screen inside a tent. The camping themed with warm lighting and comfortable seating set up makes the place very cosy.
Is one of the perfect place to chill with games. I strongly recommend if you are a gamer and needs a place to chill.
Good vibes. Definitely be back again !

My first time at a game cafe and I’m very pleased with the experience.
The atmosphere was cozy and had great vibes. The camping theme was well executed. A perfect place to bond and chill with friends.
I bought 2 hours of the “ultimate camping experience” (games and cats included). The ticket provides a complementary snack or drink as well. In my opinion the $29.8 dollars was well spent and I would recommend the experience to others.
However it may be one of those things that I try once, as the prices are a bit expensive and there are cheaper alternatives (playing games at home, and the fact that it may not be as cost efficient, since some board games do take many hours to finish)
That aside, I loved the night I spent with my friends there and it was very very fun.
