I wished we could keep asking “what?” and they’ll finally tell us. I also messed this one person’s order five times because apparently a black coffee isn’t what he wanted even though I gave it to him. BUT I like the decor and the concept of the game. I just wish the orders were clearer. ### 3/5 — Not very good *2026-07-11, version 3.8.2* At first it was great so fun then I did not have any cups and more orders were coming in i am still trying to find a solution to this day! ### 4/5 — Love this game! Just one suggestion! *2026-07-06, version 3.8.2* Ive never been so keen on these type of games but this is my only exception, I’ve tried many other cafe and pizza games however this is the only one I genuinely engage with because of the simplicity, the art style and the speed of this game. I love how everything is customisable except one, I have changed the decor to my entire cafe - I currently use the round tables with the white lace on them and theres one issue, the service trays have no custom option and in my opinion, it disrupts the gameplay since it doesnt match my cafe decor as well as it doesnt even fit on the round tables, it is too large and there is no variety of options like everything else. For future updates, could I suggest custom options for the service trays? Including different shapes like circle trays, different colours and different sizes? Other than this small issue, this game is amazing and I always come back to it in my free time! Overall a very good game I recommend it to anyone looking for a game to pass time! ### 3/5 — Purchase Unavailable *2026-07-05, version 3.8.2* Have not been able to purchase while coffee beans for 2 weeks now ### 4/5 — Been playing for a LONG TIME (a regular at this point) & here’s my review… *2026-06-27, version 3.8.2* [06/2026 - Updated Review] Have returned & everything definitely changed! Am definitely up to date now and really missed playing this game; thank you again for everyone who had made this wonderful game, always can’t wait to see more and hope you guys are doing well ☕️💕 ~Pros~ -Figure out how to make the best drip coffee and manually making it is really fun -Having multiple goals upgrading different things along the way and could tell they’ve thought about it (can’t wait to see the Marketing part from the Research Notes section) -New customers, can now move & graphics definitely improved little by little -Customisation is really detailed ~Cons (issues & changes needed)~ -Good that they show you a tutorial for the first time, but would be good if there’s an app in the phone that has a tutorial option to visit back to, for longtime returning players who haven’t played for awhile since often or not would forget how to do things in the game -Wish could see the type of drip coffee beans in the recipe book because often times would forget the name and would fumble (since drip coffee do take a little longer to make) to get to the cash register to open the phone to check the name at the online shop -It’s better if the icons at the bottom right corner are only for rooms: bar station, coffee drip station, main floor and second floor. It’s more confusing to have a dessert display icon at the bottom right corner since can always press down on the dessert display in the main floor and in-app phone icon. This is also related to fumbling to get to the phone to check the drip coffee names since would accidentally click the dessert display icon at the bottom right corner ~Optional (suggestions or not considered too crucial)~ -Would be nice when clicking on a machine to re-look at the stats or would show a comparison of the stats (like when you buy a Samsung/Apple phone and would show the stats side by side) since do find myself going to the Shop and then going back to the Bar room to compare the stats of the machines -Can customise ourselves and have a name [Previous Reviews] ~Pros~ - Figure out what drink the customers want - Listening to customers’ problems & other life stuff - Now there’s a story (can rewatch again if completed) & during that time can obtain new contents, such as changing BGM in game (can’t wait for dev to release more music since had collected them all already XD) - LOVE the frequent updates to this game! ^^ (shows how much they’re passionate & luv making this game) - Illustrations are cute (DUH) ~Cons (issues & changes needed)~ - I like the new feature how you can open your phone and there are options for purchasing supplies etc; but doesn’t make sense that you can only open it at the checkout counter area and can’t open it at your barista workstation. It’s really frustrating because would need to look at Recipes and Customers just to double check if I’ve got the orders right (didn’t have this issue before the Phone update) - Wish to see more detailed description on coffee machine, water, etc; does stats upgrade or is just appearance when you get it? Even when it says “Speed+ Atmosphere+”, it’s not detailed enough because there’s another Espresso or Grinder machine that says the same thing - I’ve got no issues with the customers ordering really puzzle menus so far (because where’s the fun in that) but this one….. yeah you need to change his order ASAP, he really frustrates me A LOT & not in a good way! Customer Travel Guy: “Iced Vanilla Latte & Iced Green Tea Shot”; what’s frustrating is that sometimes he wants it with or without ice & you have to play this guessing game (literally took a kazillion screenshots of his order). [He still haunts me in my dreams]🫠 ~Could Improve Upon (just suggestions, don’t need to include or not considered too important)~ - Wish the customers would have names instead of calling them by adjectives - When a customer is ordering for a group of people but for some reason only see one person - When talking to customers; can’t with how blurry the background is, it’s not a good blurry (like camera focus perspective wise) & wish it could be fixed; just really distracts & cuts off the immersiveness - Most of the times customers; as they’re waiting for their orders, some objects from the decor would be in front of them - Getting a little overwhelming with ads; should only be Delivery, if want to get Bonus Daily & End of Day Bonus coins; it’s strange for it to pop up at Beverage Menu section since most people would definitely click on it & find it annoying; but yeah that’s when you can pay the No Ad (only one-time payment), which I don’t see any issues with it since I’d like to show my support! ~Overall~ Just keep doing you! Hope my review is helpful in a way for the devs who’s making this unique (had played a lot of cafe, restaurant, etc games & nothing really beats this!) puzzle chill (sorta) game that I ADORE!😭💖 “Blended Milky Ice on a Green Hill”; can you guess what I’ve ordered?☕️ //After…// HAD JUST FINISHED THE MAIN STORY! & IT MADE ME CRY! SO BEAUTIFUL 😭 Easily one of my top favourite games 💕 Shout out to the people who have worked their butts off making this brilliant game, you guys rock 🌟🌟🌟 ### 4/5 — 好玩 *2026-06-23, version 3.8.2* 画风有点简单，互动方面非常有意思，很推荐来玩 ### 5/5 — It’s the best game everrr I love it *2026-06-19, version 3.8.2* It’s much better than good coffee great coffee ### 5/5 — 1 *2026-06-18, version 3.8.2* 好好玩 ### 5/5 — Good *2026-06-17, version 3.8.2* Good ### 5/5 — ok *2026-06-13, version 3.8.2* can you put more story because that make game more fun ### 5/5 — DEVVV PLEASE CONSIDER MY SUGGESTION🤍🤍🤍 *2026-06-11, version 3.8.2* Hello, Dev! I absolutely love the game! I have a suggestion: would it be possible for customers to arrive in groups, such as friends or best friends hanging out together? Also, it would be really fun if there were a chapter where we could set up and run a coffee stand or a one-day pop-up café at a special location. Please consider it, Dev! Hehe >_< Thank you! 💖 ### 5/5 — 很喜欢玩！更新下去！ *2026-06-09, version 3.8.2* 会好好玩的开发者做的特别用心，希望继续更新下去，特别感谢你们做出这么好玩的游戏。 ### 4/5 — game *2026-06-09, version 3.8.2* game hay nhưng mà thu tiền nhà đéo gì 3 ngày thu 1 lần, bán 1 ngày còn k đủ tiền nhà nữa mà 3 ngày thu 1 lần ### 3/5 — ควรปรับปรุงแอปให้เข้าใจง่ายกว่านี้ *2026-06-08, version 3.8.1* อยู่ที่เลเวล 17 แล้วขึ้นว่า max อัปเลเวลต่อไปไม่ได้ research notes ก็ไม่มีให้อัปราคาเมนูในร้าน อยากให้อัปเดตให้แท็บต่าง ๆ เข้าใจง่ายกว่านี้ ### 5/5 — bị văng game *2026-06-07, version 3.8.1* sao mỗi lần có quảng cáo là em bị văng game dạ 😞 ### 5/5 — Thức uống *2026-06-07, version 3.8.1* Ra thêm nhiều món nữa đi game ơiii ### 5/5 — 素早い対応 *2026-06-05, version 3.8.1* とあるお客さんの注文通りにドリンクを提供しても何故かミス判定になり、即刻問い合わせをしました。およそ10〜30分後には確認と連絡をしてくださいました。 「修正前は注文が〇〇でしたが修正後は〇〇となります」 「修正の間はこのドリンクを提供してください」 わかりやすい説明と何より早い対応に感動です。 また、ゲーム自体も複雑ながら覚えていけばサクサクとこなせます。課金をしなくてもゲームができるので最高です。 ドリンク提供だけしではなくカフェの内装及び外装の模様替えが出来るのもやり込み要素があり飽きずに進められるゲームです。 強いて言うのであれば、1日が終了した後90%くらいの確率で広告が入ってくるのが少しテンポが悪いなと感じました。前までは広告が途中で入ってくることが1度もなかったので。 だとしても高クオリティかつ問い合わせの丁寧な対応付きで基本無料のゲームはそんなにないのでこれからもとても楽しく遊ばせて頂きます。 国語力があまりないので少し変かもしれませんが、このゲームはとても良いので是非ダウンロードしてみてください。 ### 5/5 — Game nya seru , tolong update terus biar makin semangat lgi *2026-06-04, version 3.8.1* Tolong Tambahkn Area teras cafe nya biar bisa dipakai dan didekorasi juga , Tolong juga Tambahkn Event,Menu terbarunya dan buat jam nya lebih lama tutup nya biar pendapatnya makin banyak min ### 5/5 — Thỏ *2026-06-03, version 3.8.1* Sao khi mua thiết bị mới bằng hạt vàng thì nhiệm vụ nâng cấp thiết bị không cộng thêm ? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Tại sao lại đổi người dịch vậy *2026-06-12, version 3.8.2* Xưa dịch còn nghe hay giờ ai dịch gớm vậy. Game cũng có con trai chơi mà, gọi chủ quán hồi xưa nghe hay hơn. Tại sao cứ ạ ạ vậy. Mong nhà phát triển tìm người miền nam Việt Nam dịch dùm ### 1/5 — Vẫn ko mua được *2026-05-28, version 3.7.4* Làm thế nào để mua cà phê trở lại , nó vẫn không cho tôi mua cà phê , cần hướng dẫn chi tiết cho hệ điều hành ios ### 1/5 — Game hay *2026-05-19, version 3.7.4* Cho tui xin email để ntin hỏi về thắc mắc của tui với. Tui k vào đc game ### 1/5 — VAGUE *2026-05-18, version 3.7.4* Guy in green shirt comes in and asks for his usual. I don't remember (due to not playing this game for a bit) his usual so I ask "what?" and he says, "Don't you know what I drink by now?" I DON'T! He didn't even tell me and I was forced to say "Okay" and just remember off the top of my head what he drinks. WHAT IS THIS GAAAAAME? 1 star. Update: Still vague. Still stupid. I remember what green shirt wants now but he can still say it instead of us being expected to remember. I bought grapefruit AND FOR WHAAAAAAT? FOR NO ONE TO GET GRAPEFRUIT ADE? WHY do people keep ordering lemonade or strawberry drinks when I don't even HAVE either of those? I got a customer that said "I don't like lemonade or grapefruit." AND THEN PROCEEDS TO ORDER A STRAWBERRY ICED LATTE. YA'LL KNOW I DON'T HAVE THAT so WHYYYY are you making the customers order that? Are ya'll trying to push me to buy those things? I'm not even at the level to buy those things so why don't you just have the customers order what I ACTUALLY have. I swear ya'll are playing in my face. ### 1/5 — BUG ISSUES *2026-05-14, version 3.7.4* I’m experiencing a bug on iPad, Whenever I make a smoothie, after adding the ingredients, the blender becomes empty/invisible and I can’t pour the drink into the cup to complete the order, I already tried restarting, reinstalling the game, and checking my settings, but the issue still happens, Please fix this bug. ### 1/5 — game kiểu jv ng..u vãi đã bảo đổ cafe roi mà cứ bắt đổ ý xog mất khách ghét cái chế độ hu *2026-04-27, version 3.6.0* hướng dẫn vl ### 1/5 — VAGUE *2026-03-25, version 3.5.2* Guy in green shirt comes in and asks for his usual. I don't remember (due to not playing this game for a bit) his usual so I ask "what?" and he says, "Don't you know what I drink by now?" I DON'T! He didn't even tell me and I was forced to say "Okay" and just remember off the top of my head what he drinks. WHAT IS THIS GAAAAAME? 1 star. ### 1/5 — Lỗi *2026-03-18, version 3.5.2* Không đặt được 2 Ly cà phê ### 1/5 — This game makes me angry😡😡😡 *2026-03-08, version 3.5.2* It was normal at first but after we got several syrup,it seems very wrong, often do wrong instruction, I placed a drink in front of the chocolate syrup and it become a mint latte ????? Also, why the customers are so strange? For example, someone want a mint latte with one syrup, someone want more but they never say so. we need to guess this time she/he wants normal or sweeter. ### 1/5 — Doesn't tell you anything?... *2026-02-19, version 3.4.3* This game can be fun but its also super annoying because some customers will be really vague with their orders and the game won't even help u out or tell them what they want. How am I supposed to know what to make when there is no guidance or no clarity in the first place? Makes no sense. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Hi there, dev! *2026-08-25* I’m really enjoying the game—it’s super fun—but I’ve got a few suggestions. Could you please increase the chance that customers actually buy desserts? Right now, hardly any of my customers purchase them. Also, sometimes my in-game time is just 1 PM, and then it suddenly jumps straight to closing time. Would it be possible to make each day last a fixed few real-world minutes—say around five minutes? That way, how many orders I can handle would really come down to my own speed and how well I manage my machines. For future updates, maybe you could add features like growing ingredients or delivery orders? Thanks so much for your hard work—keep it up! I’ll keep supporting the game, and I hope it gets even better! 🌟 **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback with us! Regarding desserts, we’ll take another careful look at the order frequency and consider how we can improve it. Thank you very much for your suggestion! As for the in-game day, the café automatically closes once all of the scheduled customer orders for that day have been completed ㅠ_ㅠ. We’ll also discuss internally whether there are ways to allow players to operate their cafés for a longer period of time! Thank you again for your valuable feedback and for playing our game! ### 5/5 — Cozy & Refreshing! *2026-08-21* Cozy and Refreshing I absolutely love playing this game! It’s such a cozy, relaxing experience and the perfect little escape when I need to wind down. The stories are absolutely adorable, and there’s just something so comforting about the whole game. I also really appreciate the developers. They’re so sweet, thoughtful, and attentive whenever players have questions or concerns. You can truly tell they care about their community and the game they’ve created. Thank you for making such a lovely little game- I love it! ☕️💕 **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you so much for enjoying our game! We are truly the ones who should be thanking you for playing it. No matter how much care goes into creating a game, it would not be nearly as meaningful without the players who bring it to life. We sincerely appreciate every player who plays our game and takes the time to share their thoughts with us! We will continue doing our best to make the game even more enjoyable and to listen closely to our players’ feedback. Thank you so much for your wonderful support! 💕 ### 5/5 — Such a fun, cozy game *2026-08-20* I never write reviews, but this one deserves one. I've been playing this game on and off for a while. Each update it gets is exciting and I'm always looking forward to what gets added. Everytime I get back on it, there's something new added. The art style is super cute and I love the variety in decorations for the cafe. All the characters are endearing, and I don't get tired of repeated interactions. Some of the translations are a little wonky, but I won't dock points for that. I'd recommend this game for anyone who wants a simple game to kill time on. **Developer response:** Hello! We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by some of the translations ㅠ_ㅜ. We will continue doing our best to improve them and consistently add a wider variety of content in the future!! Thank you so much for enjoying our game!_ ### 5/5 — Orders aren’t straight forward *2026-07-17* 1st review: I understand that some of the customers order a certain way for their story line, but it’s confusing when I don’t know what to give them. I wished we could keep asking “what?” and they’ll finally tell us. I also messed this one person’s order five times because apparently a black coffee isn’t what he wanted even though I gave it to him. BUT I like the decor and the concept of the game. I just wish the orders were clearer. 2nd review: So I’m updating my review. The storylines were sweet and I understand why the conversations with the customers are the way they are now. The ending was so sweet too. I need moreee~ Thank you for your hardwork! **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you so much for updating your review! It truly means a lot to us. (And thank you so much for taking the time to listen to and enjoy the stories of our customers! It makes us incredibly happy.) We'll continue working hard to create even more heartwarming stories and enjoyable content through future updates, so that our game can bring even more warmth and comfort to you. Thank you, as always, for your kind support! ### 5/5 — So so cute! *2026-07-10, version 3.8.2* I’ve rated this game before but am doing it again because I LOVE IT. I started playing this game when it basically just came out and got to experience all the updates and additions of cute storylines, achievements, UI changes, and new furniture! It’s my favourite comfort game ever, and I love the Korean style drinks, and newly added drip coffee. Each customer has its own cute little story, and I can tell the game developer really put effort into it. I love how cute and simple the game design is, and I can’t wait for more future updates! Favourite comfort game ever <3 ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-07-05, version 3.8.2* I love everything in this game. It’s so calming and enjoyable. The graphics are so cute. ### 5/5 — Such a relaxing game! *2026-07-01, version 3.8.2* = actually love this game! I hope you make more games like this ### 5/5 — i love this game *2026-06-25, version 3.8.2* I absolutely love this game i could play it forever. I’m on day 303. so many things i loveeee and all the drink options are so cute. I would love to see a yuzu drink since they’re always mentioning it lol. i would also maybe loveeeee a mango and a peach option too? but everything about this game is amazing and you don’t even have to change anythingggg ❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — 关于本游戏 *2026-06-25, version 3.8.2* 如果可以的话，我觉得可以多来几款新的饮品，因为现在的已经非常熟悉了，多打造几款新的饮品的话也会更有挑战性!也可以加上外送的玩法，打包，外卖，杯子也可以有打包带走的感觉，个人觉得会更受欢迎呢！！！ ### 5/5 — help pls *2026-06-23, version 3.8.2* hello! why can’t i purchase the coffee beans? :(( it says purchase unavailable. i can’t make drinks without coffee --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
