A café, board game lounge, and zero-proof dry bar
Gnomies is a cozy, community-centered café, board game lounge, and zero-proof dry bar designed for connection. We serve thoughtfully crafted non-alcoholic drinks made with botanical ingredients, adaptogens, nootropics, and natural sweeteners, highlighting flavor, creativity, and care, quality coffee, and farm-to-table foods, and offer a welcoming space to gather, play board games, and slow down—without the pressure to drink alcohol.
In addition to everyday café offerings, we host creative workshops, classes, and special event dining experiences that bring people together in meaningful and playful ways. Whether you’re meeting friends, bringing family, enjoying game night, or joining us for an event, Gnomies is a place to feel at home, have fun, and belong. Gnomies makes it easy to enjoy a local, affordable outing that’s fun for all ages.

Get to Know Gnomies
Gnomies was founded by Susan Riedl, a trained chef, artist, and community-builder with deep roots in the restaurant industry. Classically trained in French cuisine, with a passion for pastry and baking, Susan is known for creating thoughtful, layered flavor profiles that feel both comforting and intriguing. Alongside her culinary background, she is an artist who believes deeply in the power of creativity, connection, and shared experiences to support mental health, wellness, and a sense of belonging.
Inspired by New Hampshire’s more than 4,000 local farms, Susan’s return to the restaurant world is driven by a commitment to supporting local agriculture while nourishing the health and wellbeing of the community. Gnomies brings these values together—art, food, and connection—within a whimsical, cozy café inspired by gnome folklore, European traditions, and playful American spirit. With Bavarian influences meeting approachable, modern flavors, Gnomies is a place where creativity is celebrated, ingredients are intentional, and gathering is the heart of everything.
