It is annoying to change the layout of the cafe and select the menu options. Cute game but needs improvements ### 4/5 — もっと遊びたい *2026-01-09* 楽しかったです。カイロさんのドッド絵のお料理はどれも美味しそうで可愛くて大好きです。 カイロさんの他のゲームに比べると、要素少なめでシンプルな印象でした。 なので、買い切りなのはありがたいですが、お値段の割に遊び足りないと感じました。 ゲーム内10年経った後で良いので、他の街に2店舗目を出したいです。 個人的にカプチーノが大好きなので、カプチーノを追加して欲しいです。ベトナムコーヒーなど世界各地のコーヒーレシピやお料理も…どれだけ追加してもらっても喜びます。 それから、お店に自分が居ないのが若干寂しいというか、自分好みにカスタムしたキャラを店員として1人配置できたら素敵だなと思います。 ### 5/5 — Great Fun *2025-11-22* Another Kairosoft gem, my only complaint is that 10 years is a bit short for a final score and the now known “issue” of not being able to rotate facilities and other important objects in all directions, which quite limits cafe design. On the upside, characters can walk in between objects with no empty tiles required. Overall, great fun, very worth the money. ### 5/5 — Best Kairosoft Game *2025-10-27, version 1.41* As a long time fan of Kairosoft (they are the ONLY developer I've ever searched for repeatedly to check their releases), this is by far my favorite title. This is my first time buying a paid game instead of playing a free version and it is INCREDIBLE. Worth every dollar, never a dull moment, constant dopamine in this game without greedy or overused mechanics. I recommend!! Start your own cafe now you wont regret it!! ### 5/5 — find your childhood memories *2025-10-14, version 1.41* Simple game simple life. In the 3A game century, find your original happiness. ### 5/5 — the best *2025-09-01, version 1.41* kariosoft makes amazing games hands down ### 5/5 — Another great Kairosoft game *2025-07-30, version 1.41* Really, if you’ve played Kairosoft games before you know how good they can be, and this is one of the more fun ones. It’s a good balance of trying to balance different things to expand and improve your cafe, while finding new and better recipes. Recommended! ### 5/5 — 非常好玩 *2025-06-14, version 1.41* 想在飞机上上打发时间买的，太好玩了停不下来 ### 5/5 — Lovely *2025-04-22* One of my favorite kairosoft games … lots of things to do. ### 5/5 — Liebs *2025-04-21* Ist ein tolles Spiel für nebenbei, hatte es schnell durch aber es lohnt sich trz ### 5/5 — Played almost all of their games! *2025-04-17, version 1.41* Have a great time every time. Cute and easy to casually play. ### 5/5 — I like making my cafe *2025-03-01, version 1.41* This is another addicting game. I like the recipe finding and trying to find a solution to people’s troubles. Great game! ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-01-04, version 1.41* Standard kairosoft game. Lots of fun. ### 4/5 — 재밌어! *2024-12-03* 재밌어요!! 카페에서 일해보고 싶었는데 대신 이룬 기분. 재료 이것저것 조합하는 것도 재밌고 세트 메뉴 구성하는 것도 재밌고요. 근데 대회 난이도가 좀 쉬운 것 같긴 해요. 초밥 게임만큼은 아닌 듯! 그치만 재밌게 플레이하고 있습니다. ### 5/5 — I WANT TO BUY KAIROSOFT PLUSHIES *2024-11-21, version 1.41* PLEASE MAKE THEM ### 4/5 — 楽しい！惜しい！ *2024-10-14* メニューを開発したりスタッフを育成したり、基本的な内容はとっても楽しいです！ BGMも明るくリラックス出来ます！ スタッフの制服もレパートリーがあったり細かいとこまで楽しめます！ ただ店の内装を変える際に、元からある物を移動させたりしていると、新しく設置したい物がある時はいちいち前の画面に戻らなくてはならなくて、急いで連打しないと時間経過してしまい店がOPENしてしまいます。 客が入ってくると見えにくかったり、1度席についた客の席をどかそうとすると「うーん」と言って帰ってしまうので、内装変更するだけのコマンドが欲しいです。そのコマンド内で、元からあるものを移動したり新規のアイテムを設置出来るようになれば嬉しいです！ いいお店作りに内装変更は欠かせないので、星4とさせて頂きます。 ### 5/5 — 카이로 최고 *2024-10-01* 지인짜시간가는줄모르고 할게너무많아서 폰노예가되버리는.....ㅋㅋㅋ ### 3/5 — Süßes Spiel *2024-09-29* Ich spiele das Spiel sehr gerne. Nur fänd ich es schön, wenn ich das Spiel zwischen meinem Handy und iPad synchronisieren könnte. Auf meinem Handy ist das Spiel sehr klein, aber ich kann nicht auf meinem iPad spielen. Ich müsste dort das Spiel von neu anfangen. ### 5/5 — 매우 재밌음 *2024-09-26* 초반에 살짝 지루함을 넘어서면 계속 재밌음 ### 3/5 — 自分だけの最強喫茶店を作れ！ *2024-09-15* お客様がなかなか満足ポイント上がらないな〜って時は ：従業員のランクを偏りなく上げる ：指定お客が喜ぶ設備を設置する ：周りに飾りを置きまくる ってのを主にしてました！今はセレブ街の住民が満足しやがりません！！悔しい！！ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 何も出来なくなった *2024-08-09* お金も増えず、従業員が必要ですと忠告が何度も出てきてそれ以上進まずに詰みました… お金はマイナスになり続け従業員すら雇えません ちなみに最初からやり直してもお金は増えず。 バグなのかなんなのかこんな最初で積むゲーム初めてでした 他のカイロソフトのゲームはこんなこと無かったのに… おすすめしません ### 1/5 — Didn’t like it *2024-02-15, version 1.31* what a way to lose money ### 1/5 — Hot garbage *2023-09-10, version 1.30* Completely unable to rank up, tab missing ### 1/5 — Bug in Game *2023-09-09, version 1.30* There’s a bug in the game that won’t let me reach the one star rating, I have met all the requirements but when I go into manage there’s no way of checking my rating. It may be a new problem but I searched online and many people were running into the same issue I had. ### 1/5 — Can’t rank up. *2023-09-09, version 1.30* Option does not appear in the menu and i’m basically unable to continue the game. ### 1/5 — Can’t rank up *2023-09-08, version 1.30* Please fix the missing rank up menu!!!! ### 1/5 — rank up *2023-09-07, version 1.30* it won’t let me rank up even though i’ve met all of the requirements and moved back to my old town. i can’t make recipes or anything. ### 1/5 — 自由度が低い、やれる事が少ない。 *2023-07-23* そりゃ10年目までにハイスコア目指す人には忙しいと思うけど、多くの人は10年目超えてからの縛りがなくなった後のプレイを楽しみにゲーム続ける人が多いと思うよカイロソフトって。 なんでコンテストが5種類のみなんだろ？続編があるって事？あっという間にクリアして800円の価値がないのがこのゲームの感想だよ。 今後は居酒屋を経営するゲームとかも出して欲しいけど、もっと自由度が高い10年後も遊べる難易度調整出来るゲームを作って欲しいです。 せっかく令和でもこのグラフィックが良いと金払ってゲームする応援してるファンがいるんだからもっとレビュー欄を参考にして欲しいです。 ### 2/5 — Fun game but there are still bugs *2024-03-31* There’s a bug where if you have the Recruit staff event pop up and Contest event day pop up at the same time, the recruit button then becomes bugged and you can’t recruit any more new staff :( Every time you press “recruit” now, it says “Let’s recruit some new staff after the current recruitment drive is done.” I’ve been playing almost 1 year in-game since the bug appeared, and the recruitment pop up still hasn’t popped up…. ### 2/5 — Music doesnt work in any kairosoft game *2023-10-27, version 1.31* I’d give more stars but developers don’t pay attention to anything that doesn’t have less than three stars. Music doesn’t work in any of the kaitosoft games after the most recent iOS update. Or it might just be the phone itself. Sound Effects are fine but music is gone. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Chill, cute management sim *2026-07-13, version 1.41* No in-app purchases or micro-transactions. You can progress at your own pace and there are a lot of little complexities to explore! ### 5/5 — Review *2026-07-09, version 1.41* I play just for fun so please make more game like cozy and fun ### 5/5 — Always love kairosoft games *2026-06-27, version 1.41* This was fun as always, cute and just a great game to play in small bursts of time!! ### 5/5 — Excellent Past time *2026-06-19, version 1.41* title ### 5/5 — So fun *2026-04-27, version 1.41* One of my favorite Kairosoft games. I love making new recipes and combos and discovering what ingredients will lead to new recipes. ### 5/5 — Very pleased *2026-04-03, version 1.41* Lots of fun, I like trying to figure out all the recipes. ### 5/5 — Very relaxing and cute *2026-03-18, version 1.41* Love it ### 5/5 — Probably one of the better kairo sims *2026-01-19, version 1.41* Runs out of new stuff a bit early if you're playing well, but overall a blast and has a lot of solid ideas. ### 5/5 — Great! *2025-12-24* Once you get it, one of the best from Kairo. Please come back doing this kind of management game and not the last three you did… ### 5/5 — V good *2025-12-09* I love it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
