### 2/5 — No sound?

*2022-08-14, version 1.2*

I used to play this all the time. No sound on the game

### 3/5 — Dip in quality

*2017-07-16, version 1.2*

I've played all of the Emily games and love them. This newest one, however, had nearly half the number of levels - 5 rather than the former 9 - and the first four levels were pretty boring, then the last one is very hard. I never minded the price of these games, but if the new paradigm is half the game for the same amount of money, I'm out.

### 3/5 — A little disappointed

*2017-05-25, version 1.2*

The graphics aren't as good as the others

### 4/5 — Está travando

*2017-05-04*

Meu jogo está travando no décimo dia do primeiro restaurante, o jogo sai e tenho que começar de novo, e de novo, e de novo.... 😔

### 3/5 — Problems

*2017-03-30*

Game is a lot of fun, which is why it is SO frustrating that it keeps crashing. I think it may have a bug. Could you fix it or refund the money?
Thanks

### 2/5 — Game crashes!

*2017-03-06, version 1.2*

I love all the Delicious games and have all but two of them. I have also played this game on my PC when it came out and loved it. Unfortunately, this game keeps crashing on my iPad!!! Very frustrating. Any updated fix ready?

### 2/5 — Too Many Crashes

*2017-03-02, version 1.2*

I am really frustrated by the amount of times this game has crashed. I am removing it from my device because I have successfully completed one level many times, but the game crashes before recording the win. I only tried the diary mode once because I realized the game stability would not allow me to play long enough to make a serious run at an achievement. While the story line is good, no story or game is good enough to keep me playing if I have no chance to make it to the end.

### 3/5 — Zwar ein Klassiker

*2016-09-14*

Ich mag die Spiele insgesamt gerne, aber dieses hier ist leider nur so lala.

Auf meinem iPad mini stürzt das Spiel immer wieder ab, gefühlt fast jede Runde. Manche schafft man grad so fertig und es wird gespeichert, andere nicht. Manchmal stürzt es mitten drin ab. Das macht leider wenig Spass.
Auch die klassischen Ausbaumöglichkeiten existieren nicht. Man kann nur Deko ohne Effekt kaufen.

### 2/5 — Still crashes

*2016-09-11, version 1.2*

Been playing Delicious games for years but unfortunately this particular one keeps crashing. Manage to make it to the tea garden but I can't pass the 6th day without the game crashing. Very disappointed the bugs didn't get fixed with the update.

### 3/5 — Fix it!

*2016-08-11, version 1.2*

My mum and I used to play this game all the time on out laptops before it was an app. Now that I'm playing it on my iPad, I'm very disappointed with all the bug crashes. I didn't mind them at first, but I'm about to finish the game, I'm at day 7 on the Tea Garden, but I can't get past it because it keeps crashing right before the day ends! I've played it countless times and it always crashes! Please fix it or give me a refund so I can continue buying these games! I love these games and they r very fun overall, but I'm done with the crashes

### 1/5 — CRASHES ALWAYS

*2016-08-10, version 1.2*

Game constantly crashes always at the end of the day after you have completed. Very unenjoyable to play. Refunds are definitely deserved if you can not deliver the game paid for. This is definitely not up to Delicious Emily standards.

### 1/5 — Emilys tea garden

*2016-08-08, version 1.2*

The game stops working on each level and the app closes on its own. Think we should be given a refund!!!!! Disappointing

### 1/5 — Honteux! Ne pas acheter !

*2016-08-05*

10 euros pour ça c'est du VOL ! Non seulement le design est moche mais il n'y a pas de défis, c'est répétitif (4 fois 10 niveaux pareils) Le jeu bug sans cesse... Moi qui suis fan de delicious Émily je suis extrêmement déçue! Celui-ci n'a été conçu que pour nous extirper 10 euros ! Pour une fois que je n'ai pas lu les avis , je le regrette ....

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2016-07-31, version 1.2*

There is definitely a problem with this app it is also kicking me out in the middle of playing. Sort it or refund my money please!

### 1/5 — Not like the rest of Emily's game

*2017-07-23, version 1.2*

This game is bad, and not worth it, I would like my money back, I love Emily's game but this is the worst, I wrote to the site saying give me back my money..don,t play it bad game

### 1/5 — Pessimo

*2017-07-19*

La peggiore grafica della serie e piena di problemi, si blocca continuamente. Un furto

### 1/5 — Stürzt nur ständig ab

*2017-03-06*

Bei jedem neuen Level stürzt es ab und man fängt von vorne an.
Ebenso kann man hier nicht, wie in den anderen Spielen, einen Schwierigkeitsgrad einstellen.

### 1/5 — Sehr enttäuschend

*2016-11-16*

Ich habe bisher alle Spiele von Emily, Angela und HM. Ich bin sehr sehr enttäuscht und kann es absolut nicht empfehlen. 
1. viel zu teuer 2. die Story und der Aufbau viel zu flach 3. es stürzt ständig ab und in der letzten Welt Level 7 komm ich gar nicht mehr weiter weil es immer an der gleichen Stelle abstürzt. 
Das Spiel ist schlecht und absolut kein Geld wert.

### 1/5 — Ein Update muss her!

*2016-11-14*

Ich werde ständig rausgeschmissen. Entweder während dem spielen oder im Hauptmenü! 
Geht gar nicht! 
Ein Update muss sein, vor allem weil man für das Spiel gezahlt hat 😡

### 1/5 — Extremely bad

*2016-09-29, version 1.2*

This is very disappointing.normally I love all of the other Emily delicious games but with this one it is extremely disappointing and definitely not worth £7.99. If the issue is not fixed I will be expecting a refund! As soon as possible.☹️☹️👎👎😤😤👎.

### 1/5 — What the heck happened?

*2016-09-25, version 1.2*

Bought this game months ago, but can't play on ipad because it constantly crashes. Just been sitting there waiting for it to be fixed and months later, nothing has changed. Expected a lot better from GameHouse.

### 1/5 — Crashing!

*2016-09-15, version 1.2*

I paid $9.99 for this and can't even play it! It keeps crashing! I want a refund.

### 1/5 — Crashes and graphics poor

*2016-09-11, version 1.2*

Normally like Emily games but this was crashes and story line is poor and not as good a quality as say wedding, new beginnings, honeymoon, early years.. This is the poorest story yet, and graphics strange with characters seemingly following a grid to get from door to tables etc.

### 1/5 — Bug crashes

*2016-09-10, version 1.2*

I've played other versions of this game & loved them.  I was really excited to see this one available. However. I'm so disappointed in this one. I think I completed a level, just to have it crash. I've tried playing the same level 5 times to just have it crash. So frustrating.

### 5/5 — Great time management game

*2022-07-20, version 1.2*

I wish all the Emily games were as challenging as this one. I had to try really hard to get expert level in the last few restaurants. Plus there are all the bonus games to play that could go on for hours. Also, I paid for it and it continues to work several years later (unlike many of the other Emily games where they make you buy them over again or watch ads even after paying $14.99, or they just take them away and don’t let you play them anymore at all, like Emily’s Childhood Memories). Please make more like this one that are hard to win and keep working.

### 5/5 — Love it 😍 , great game

*2019-09-22, version 1.2*

Love this game , love old delicious games, challenging and interesting , love the reservations, fab

### 5/5 — Superb!

*2017-04-24, version 1.2*

Keep it up, GH, love everything about your time management games!

### 5/5 — STILL one of my absolute FAVORITES

*2017-01-26, version 1.2*

I own every single Delicious Emily game on both my PC and iPad.  It works absolutely flawlessly on my iPad (even though it is one of the earlier DE games made).  I can't figure out why there are ANY low ratings for this version...

Delicious Emily's Tea Garden is still one of my favorites!   Each level is unique and yet all levels mesh into one solid and coherently charming storyline... as Emily works and saves her money to open her very own little tea garden cafe.

The very last level I found to be the most challenging, yet all levels can be modified for same and each level is lots of fun.

I love the music and 'sound' (SFX) quality in this and all the earliest Delicious Emily games; even more so than the newer ones.

Well worth the purchase price and plenty of replay value.

Just buy it!   You can't go wrong!

### 5/5 — Delicious Emily Tea gardens

*2016-04-14, version 1.1*

I have purchased everyone of these games plus this one . I love the games but this one needs fixing or give me my money back please I can barely get through a level without it stopping and going back to the icon screen it's driving me nuts .
I have now downloaded the updates for this game and it's still crashing so I think it's best if you just give me back my money please

### 5/5 — Se cierra solo continuamente

*2016-02-10*

Es muy entretenido, me encanta toda la saga pero es imposible jugar un rato seguido, se cierra solo continuamente y es como si no hubieras jugado nada. Arréglenlo por favor.

### 5/5 — Nieves

*2016-02-08*

Estos juegos son muy buenos y entretenidos.l
 Lo único es que este se ve in poco antiguo en la definición para el precio tan elevado que tiene.

### 5/5 — Read before you buy!!

*2016-02-06, version 1.0*

I love ALL of Emily's games and was so happy to hear that you were making all of her older games available for iPads!  This is this first game in the Emily series....so yeah the quality isn't as good as the newest game.... I love it though!  Very vintage! Keep up the GREAT work!

### 4/5 — Great time management game

*2025-12-02, version 1.2*

I wish all the Emily games were as good as this one. I had to try really hard to get expert level in the last few restaurants. Plus there are bonus games to play that could go on for hours. Also, I paid for it and it continues to work several years later (unlike many of the other games where they make you buy them over again or watch ads even after paying $14.99, or they just take them away and don’t let you play them anymore at all, like Emily’s Childhood Memories which I paid in full for and now can’t even access). Please make more like this one that are challenging to play and that keep working.

### 4/5 — Mice

*2019-06-02, version 1.2*

Love the game no crashes but the mice aren’t appearing in the posh restaurant from level 3 onward!
