### 1/5 — Poor design

*2026-04-15, version 1.0.3*

Nothing but ads and very poor design. Abandoned app with only 2 levels.

### 1/5 — Looks Abandoned

*2025-12-10, version 1.0.3*

Been waiting best part of two years for them to finish making the next map (shop) sad they've given up on the game

### 2/5 — I was gonna ask but guess there only two levels

*2025-11-25, version 1.0.3*

Played this like heck , real good game but sold it with only two levels. Add more levels and more events please and thank you. Other than that good game

### 1/5 — No updates to story mode

*2025-11-08, version 1.0.3*

No story updates in years no way to restart game either

### 1/5 — Only 2 levels, no updates in years

*2025-10-23, version 1.0.3*

Update: Game is still abandoned, only 2 levels. Avoid.

The game is fun but it seems to be abandoned. There are only 2 levels with the tease of more content coming soon. But it has been 4 months since the game was released and there has not been one update for even bugs let alone added content. Heck, the game is still auto running a Christmas event ever few days (it is May). Avoid and definitely do not spend any money on this.

### 1/5 — Requested a refund

*2025-09-16, version 1.0.3*

I specifically play Codigames because I enjoy them. I was so disappointed to spend money on this one to find out there’s only 1 level. Shouldn’t have been released. I requested a refund, which should be understandable.

### 1/5 — No updates in multiple years.

*2025-02-04, version 1.0.3*

If I could leave zero stars I would. The app used to be so fun. I even purchased no ads as I enjoyed it so much. The game has been on Christmas and new venue “in progress” for over multiple years. Any support questions are answered rudely and with zero information. They say games with users will be handled with high priority. It seems that this will not be one of them. I am seeing multiple other users with the same issues/experience I have had. I will no longer be downloading anything in relation to the company/creators. I’ve been keeping the game in hopes that one day i would get on and see all these great changes that have been “coming soon” but it’s not even worth the annoyance at this point to keep staring at.

### 1/5 — No updates

*2025-01-29, version 1.0.3*

After paying for no ads there has never been an update.  Should be entitled to refunds.

### 1/5 — No updates and bugs aren’t fixed

*2025-01-20, version 1.0.3*

Purchased additional construction  crews for this game just to realize that there will never be other coffee shops to move onto AND I’ve advanced my coffee shop to the maximum extent.

This game is literally one level with occasion Christmas events in which those levels are exactly the same and produce the same identical prizes. What’s the purpose of them if we can’t use them on advancing further?

The ability to order max ICE and MILK from the supplier is NOT available. Sometimes during the Christmas event the game will glitch or a bug will be present and it will allow a 30x Ice option but other than that, you will lose customers because you can’t maximize that order. 

Lastly, hosts and the baker gets stuck often. The host will grab a pastry out the case and stay there and the baker will not move because supposedly the pastry case is full which isn’t true. The only way to bypass that is to restart the game. 

This is actually quite sad that the developers haven’t changed this in YEARS!!

Now they removed the special employee section so at this point we are literally earning gold coins (during the continuous boring rotating door Christmas event) for nothing!!! This game should be fraud. No one should be spending real money on it. There are never any updates.

### 3/5 — Game

*2024-10-29, version 1.0.3*

The game keep freezing or not working i uninstalled n reinstalled few times please fixed it asap thanks I haven’t started play yet
