A café offering board games, cocktails and waffles has found a new corner in Johnson County.
Cardboard Corner Cafe will officially open its new Lenexa Public Market space this week — with food, drinks, and more than 250 free-to-play board games.
The cafe opens on Friday
- Cardboard Corner Cafe’s new stall occupies the northwest corner of the Lenexa Public Market, at 8750 Penrose Ln.
- It neighbors the Mr. D’s Coffee stall inside the market.
- Once it opens, Cardboard Corner Cafe will operate from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday.
Cardboard Corner Cafe serves sweet treats and sandwiches
- The café is primarily known for its waffles and waffle “pops” — for which the menu has sweet options like s’mores and strawberry cheesecake, as well as savory waffles like buffalo chicken and loaded baked potato.
- The new Lenexa space will also feature several of the appetizers found at its original Overland Park location, as well new options — such as breakfast “wafflewiches,” grilled cheese, build-your-own boba drinks.
- Cardboard Corner Cafe will also serve a variety of tiki-themed cocktails and mules.
This is the cafe’s second location
- The original Cardboard Corner Cafe opened at 9240 Metcalf Ave. at the Regency Park Shopping Center in 2021.
- That location will remain open — as will the restaurant’s neighbor and sister company, TableTop Game and Hobby.
- Owners plan to host weekly game nights on Mondays (starting with this coming Monday from 6 to 9 p.m.) in the “Kitchen” area on the lobby level of Lenexa City Hall.
- “We think nothing pairs better with good food than good games,” said owner Madeline Davis via a release. “We cannot wait to add to the Market’s amazing offerings and help grow the community.”
