Endicott Woman Opens "Board Game Café" on The Avenue

The café at 147 Washington Avenue is owned by Sarah Willis of Endicott. The spot had been vacant for an extended period. It most recently had been occupied by a deli and vape shop.

Willis said the café is offering coffee, tea and lattes. Breakfast items, pastries and salads also are available.

The initial hours for Alla Board Café are limited. The business will be open most weekends.

Willis said her goal is to develop a fully-functioning "board game café." She's planning to hold a grand opening for the business on May 3.
