About Victory Point Cafe

We are excited to announce that Victory Point Cafe is under new ownership! The cafe has been lovingly handed over from the VPC Team to Namita and Vinay Rao.

Whether you're a seasoned gamer or new to the world of board & card games, our cozy atmosphere and diverse game selection offer the perfect setting for fun and connection. Gather your friends, bring your family, or meet new people as you explore our collection of games. Join us for an experience that celebrates face-to-face interactions and the joy of being present together.

Victory Point Cafe was opened in 2015 by Derek DeSantis and his business partner. Founded on a passion for board gaming, community-building, coffee, and beer, the cafe was created to combine all of those things to bring you Victory Point Cafe, the Bay Area's first board game cafe. The concept is simple: pay a nominal fee (we're the most affordable entertainment option in town) to access our collection of hundreds of board games, stay as long as you'd like, and enjoy our selection of locally roasted coffee, craft beers, pizza, sandwiches, snacks, and more. We love board games because they bring people together and away from screens, and we're so excited to share the love with you, Berkeley.
