What players say
If you love cafe management game, this is definitely for you. You can decorate the cafe, find recipes for your cafe and make a meal combo. Overall, this is another management game by Kairosoft, but I have to say this one is my favorite because I love management game related to run a cafe.

Lovely relaxing game to play on and off, has some good customisation options for the store and I personally enjoyed working out ingredient combos to create new drinks for the menu. Would recommend to anyone even if not your typical game genre, on sale or part of a bundle even better, all you need to do is wait a little.
I just knw about Kairosoft from the recent sale- I'M WONDERING WHY I NEVER KNW THIS BEFORE- I love it so much- it's fast pace and engaging- recommend it 100%
