Coffee, matcha, vintage, art, and a board game room — all crammed into one unapologetically independent space. Chaotic, creative, and made for getting lost in. Come in, stay longer than you meant to.

Blackpool’s Independent

Late Night Coffee Shop

and board game cafe!

Blackpool’s late-night coffee lounge for people who don’t really do early nights, beige vibes, or being told to behave.

We’re not just a café.
We’re a hangout. A hideout. A soft place for loud thoughts and quiet rebels.

By day, we’re cosy chaos. By night, we’re a low-lit lounge where time stretches, conversations get weird, and nobody’s asking why you’re still here — because we’re open late every single day. Stay as long as you need. Or until the game ends.

Our matcha is sustainably sourced, our coffee is made properly, and our cakes — vegan, gluten-free, or unapologetically indulgent — all cost the same. No upgrades. No guilt tax. No hierarchy.

And yeah — we’re a graffiti café.
The walls are meant to be touched, tagged, scribbled on, argued with. Leave a mark, write a confession, draw something unhinged. This place doesn’t exist without the people inside it.

Pull up a chair indoors or spill out into the sun when it shows up. It’s prime territory for plotting, flirting, decompressing, people-watching like it’s a competitive sport. Dogs are always welcome — frankly, they set the standard. 🐾

We’ve got 70+ board games for slow afternoons, unhinged rivalries, and nights when home feels a bit too quiet and you’re not done being human yet.

Everything here runs on people power. Community groups. Food-bank drink swaps. Radical kindness without the performative nonsense. If you need a space that doesn’t judge, rush, or side-eye you — this is it.

So come for the coffee.
Stay because it feels right. Stay because it’s late. Stay because you left your mark on the wall and you want to see who adds to it next.
