Add more levels and more events please and thank you. Other than that good game ### 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 ### 2/5 — PLEASE PLEASE HELP *2024-07-31, version 1.0.3* Dear Creators/Makers of this game, I have been binge playing this game so so so HARD and I have spent welllllll amounts of CASH MONEY on this game!!!! I would LIKE to CONTINUE to spend CASH MONEY on this game!!!!! However, I have been stuck at the same spot for months now and I have already completed this CHRISTMAS event that has now popped up over and over again 5+times!!! I am very sad and really do not want to send this game to the game graveyard… 🪦🪦🪦 Please hear our cry and fulfill our NEEDS 😭❤️ Sincerely, A very desperate woman who loves this game very very much 💔💔💔 ### 1/5 — New shop *2024-07-13, version 1.0.3* Why haven’t y’all updated the game and added a new coffee shop. Also why is there still a Christmas event? ### 3/5 — Could be a fav, but bugs *2024-07-05, version 1.0.3* Could be so much fun, but it doesn’t play quite right. The more you progress, and manage to steer clear of glitch type bugs, the worse they get. :/ ### 3/5 — Lots of potential, but too buggy to play *2024-07-02, version 1.0.3* I’m specifically stuck at upgrading “Feng Shui Distribution” because it doesn’t show up under the Research options. The only way to access it is to go through the item you want to upgrade. Even then, if I start the research for Feng Shui Distribution but then close to app to do something else, the research is then cancelled. If I keep the app open for the entire 30 minutes of research, then it completes and I can upgrade that one item. I have to pay for that research and wait 30 minutes with the app open (which means my phone unuseable) every item I want to upgrade that item. I saw in a different comment the devs said something like, “If more people played the game, we would update it with a higher priority.” But that doesn’t make sense… less people are playing the game because it’s buggy. That’s why I stopped playing your other games eventually too, even after paying for gems and ad-free. ### 2/5 — All that for what? *2024-05-20, version 1.0.3* Only 2 levels & then nothing but a repeated outdated Christmas add on. Don’t bother wasting your time to play, it’s not worth it when there’s barely anything to play. ### 1/5 — No updates in multiple years. *2024-03-25* 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 2 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 long be downloading anything in relation to the company/creators. I’ve been keeping the game in hopes that one day o 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 — Great potential but terribly executed. Don’t install *2024-03-12, version 1.0.2* Great potential but terribly executed. Everything in the game requires time to be upgraded without any ad skips and gets stale really fast. Nothing like a normal idle game. Half of the game is also in another language, as devs you can’t do the bare minimum and translate the text??? Especially with as long as it’s been out, this is ridiculous. ### 2/5 — Not finished *2024-02-14, version 1.0.1* Can you guys just release a game thats actually fully finished for once before creating a new game… ### 3/5 — Waiting for update *2023-12-10, version 1.0.1* Great game, would be better if you could switch in between new and old cafes. Waiting for update after 2nd cafe. Would love to carry on playing. ### 2/5 — Okay.. *2023-11-15, version 1.0.1* Why does everything take 30 hours to complete? Researches and building/upgrades take 1000 hours to complete, it makes me wanna come back to the game 2 years later just to finish the completions. Then you only can do one at a time. ### 4/5 — No updates *2023-11-15, version 1.0.1* I would love to give this game 5 stars because I love it so much! However I have maxed out everything at the second location and can’t progress any further in the game. Like other reviews have said, its been months since the last update ### 1/5 — 1H away time *2023-10-16, version 1.0.1* 1 star for the 1 hour of away time by default. I couldn’t imagine spending the insane prices they want to increase this time just to make it what it should of been to start with. ### 2/5 — No new updates *2023-10-08, version 1.0.1* I like this game but it’s been months since there has been an update. I saw the developers response to another comment like mine and they basically said they update games with the most active users. Well you won’t have active users if you don’t give us something new. People are going to abandon this game cause they think the developers have. It’s been nine months since this game has been updated. ### 1/5 — LOADING ISSUE *2023-09-26, version 1.0.1* The game literally won’t even load for me to even attempt playing it. ### 1/5 — Won’t open *2023-09-24, version 1.0.1* I was excited to go play this game but the app is frozen on opening it. It’s completely unplayable ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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.

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. ### 1/5 — No updates and bugs aren’t fixed *2024-10-06* Purchased additional constructions 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.

PLEASE UPDATE IT!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Update soon please *2024-03-06, version 1.0.2* I paid for no ads and love the game but after the second level, nothing is new!!! Please update with newer content. ### 5/5 — Chill and Entertaining ☺️ *2023-10-22, version 1.0.1* I’ve always loved games like this, but this concept was new to me. I really like the pace of the game compared to others that require a longer time lapse. The aesthetics along with actually figuring out how to grow the business is a nice way to pass the time. ### 5/5 — Love the game. But still have some suggestions. *2023-08-29, version 1.0.1* Awesome game was hoping you can give the option of collecting more supplies for items quicker. Some recipes ask for a lot of milk and the maximum storage only goes to (I believe) 66 last I checked. As for the event different seasons and decorations would be nice besides Christmas themed decorations other than that the games good highly recommend still. ### 5/5 — Game Review & Game Idea Request *2023-05-07, version 1.0.1* This game is overall good but can you make a pizza version I would love that. ### 5/5 — i like but… *2023-03-18, version 1.0.1* i really like this game but the ads. it would be nice if the amount of money increased as you unlocked more things when watching an ad for money because at the end things are 35 million+ & every ad gives between 1-3 million only. also i have everything upgraded yet there’s never enough ingredients to have every machine running good so i have customers leaving mad bc there’s just not enough being made. also it would be amazing to add a ‘watching this ad for 5 mins of 2x money’ & so on with a max of an hour or something. other than that i love the concept and can’t wait for the next expansion. ### 5/5 — New update *2023-02-17, version 1.0.1* When are we getting new update this game is so much fun ### 5/5 — Fun Game! *2023-02-13* This game great! Its fun and doesn’t haven’t ads unless you want extra game cash. I would love to see them expand to more shops/ venues and have a cow feature for milk. Otherwise its a fun game and I highly recommend ### 5/5 — Great game but Need more milk *2023-02-12, version 1.0.1* You guys need to make the milk delivery faster or add another way to get more milk ### 5/5 — New update *2023-02-05, version 1.0.1* Absolutely love this game but I’ve been waiting for 2 months for the new update for new mission please let me know when the new update is coming because I’m getting bored of waiting --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
