Cats and coffee, the perfect combo... or so I thought >.> I actually had to DELETE my positive review for this game because the thieves were literally coming into my shop, taking all my money and breaking down all my gear. I couldn't even make money to rectify the situation. This has to be a glitch? Something is not right here. I played for almost 2 hours and was having lots of fun despite the sloppy tutorials and …

TLDR: It is not a perfect game, but if you like cosy and calm cafe simulators with some consequences and lots of cute cats, then you won't go wrong with this one. The good: • The game has a very cozy atmosphere, and the art is cute. • There are lots of recipes to make and they all feel the right level of involved. • The various minigames for different ingredients are easy to learn and varied enough to not get …

very cozy and cute game. I loved the art style / animations / music and character designs. It has 3 difficulties to choose from ( cozy - normal - mayhem ). Takes about 12.5h to *do everything to complete the game* without rush ( at least for me - on cozy mode ) , but in reality you can play or replay it for as many hours as you want. Excellent game , do recommend!

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →At present, I don't know how much I can recommend this? There's a thief spawn on almost every customer already (forcing you to stop work and call the police, who then demand food from you), and they just made an update claiming they 'made things safer' from the thief... by upping the spawn rate in two different ways? But... putting a small cooldown in so it won't spawn on EVERY customer? It already spawned on almost every customer at the 60% spawn rate, and they upped it to 80%, so... don't…

neutral · AI labelView post →This game was marketed as cozy and calm, but I find it to be too fast-paced for those tags, at least starting out. The timers run while you're reading the tutorial information and while you're first learning, and the game doesn't give you enough time to get comfortable with all of the different things you're supposed to do (there's a lot) before it starts shoving customers at you with no breaks. It's really cute, and if you would like a little bit of pressure in your coffee shop sim, this is…

neutral · AI labelView post →Cute? Absolutely. Relaxing? Not quite yet! I really want to enjoy this game, it is charming but needs a few QOL tweaks still. Customers feel impatient even with upgrades, and learning recipes early on is a bit overwhelming. It’d be great to drag order notes onto cups to auto-check off ingredients, and a visible star rating as you prepare drinks would feel much better than a harsh “poorly prepared” for small mistakes. The stirring mini-game feels clunky, and the oven beeping is super loud — a…

Immediately, some mechanics were changed such as the milk stocking and machines breaking for no reason and the game doesn't tell you about any of it. Thieves coming by to steal money MULTIPLE times in one single day and a random character that I found…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cozy game with cute cats, but also thieves and bribers The issue with the thieves persist through the demo and the actual game. The new problem is the bribers coming in to destroy your shop and then you have to call the mechanic one by one to fix three machines they destroyed. The police were just there to eat croissant and nothing more. No hiring guards or security protocols whatsoever. Overall the economy is still imbalance. I'm looking forward to this issued being resolved, or else I don't…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"Most confusing tutorial I've seen in a videogame" award. Unlocking new recipes feels bad, especially if done early in the game. Because it gives you unlock itself and small amount of the thing you've purchased instead of full stock. Which in early game makes you run into a situation where you have no money to restock on something because you've just unlocked something else. And none of this is explained by the game. Didn't mind the stress mechanic coming here after playing CSD games, but it…

I am very unsure with this.. there's some enjoyable moments but others can be quite annoying. I would say if you're looking for anything remotely like Good Pizza, Great Pizza then you may be disappointed with this game. The tutorial for this game didn't cover much, I spent a lot of my time trying to find certain buttons for machines and products. The patience bar for customers doesn't seem…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →They completely messed up the balancing of this game. * Since I bought the tea pack, 70% of my customers order tea, barely any customer wants to buy coffee anymore, which makes half of your items useless. * The thief shows up way too often, even with upgrades. * You barely make any profit, keeping up with restocks of ingredients just drains all your money * Some days the croissants I made at the end of the previous day, are not showing up in my fridge, which results in even more loss, because…

Accustomed to his wife playing mostly horror or Warhammer themed games,,it was a huge shock to his system. I will admit that the bright and cheerful colour palette really knocked me for six, I was blinking like mad at the end of every game. However, I LOVE cats and so that was the draw for me. Let me kick off straight away from one achievement seeker to others.... please do not give in to the pressure to unlock everything straight away...…

Gameplay & Settings I played this game on launch and truthfully was frustrated by the normal mode. I found the machines broke too much, money was hard to come by and the days were too short. However ever since they introduced cozy mode I am having a blast. I have earned most upgrades and unlocked all the syrups and foods with only a few…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think this is my first review on steam. I've been waiting for this game almost a year. All this wait makes me disappointed with the gameplay. I hoped this would be a relaxing game, but no, it's too stressful. The income from sales is too little to buy stock or unlock new recipes. There's so much to buy and upgrade, but the income I earn isn't enough to buy it. I've tried to increase my income by calling lots of customers, but I get stressed out by the patience timer. I have to look at the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Core mechanics are fun but the balancing is so poor i cannot fathom how this has slipped under so many people in terms of reviews, I assume there may have been a patch as there has been an increase in negative reviews in the recent category. The frequency of the machine breaks, robberies and general waiting hinder the pacing significantly, early game is unbearable due to a common "death spiral" effect where the profits are small, leading to broken machines you cant afford to repair which…

neutral · AI labelView post →This is the most unintuitive game I've ever witnessed. The instructions to make the drinks are too vague and need more explanation, and if you're British, this game wont make any sense. If you make the drink just by chance before handing it to the customer, they hand you the drink back and give you more instruction, when the drink is clearly what they wanted. The game wants you to go through ALL of the tutorial step by step, yet you can basically do whatever you want during this tutorial time…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think learning how to make drinks in the game is pretty easy. You play as a barista serving different drinks and food to cat customers, but things can get really stressful when several customers are waiting at the same time. I have to remember their orders while steaming milk, adding ice, grabbing straws, and making sure I still have enough coffee beans and milk. Sometimes, when I’m working on a big order and I’m only halfway through making it, the customers start getting impatient and can…

They don't make the last two achieves so painful to achieve that you quit the game at 90% complete. Pretty crappy when devs do that to us. No stress.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While there's some good stuff about this game, I really can't recommend it. Virtually every mechanic feels like it was made with the intent to be realistic - an understandable, if not always good, idea - or gamey, in ways that just don't match up. You're constantly running low on money and ingredients at the start with no idea of what you're going to need to stock up on. Discovering croissant recipes pays off, but making unique croissants doesn't, because at the end of the night you trash…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted to like the game, but I QUICKLY got fed up with the "poorly made" debuffs I was getting, with literally zero explanation to what I was doing wrong. I followed the orders in their correct order, I did it quickly, I had things prepared ahead of time. There was literally zero rhyme nor reason to why I was continuously being rated poorly for the way I was making things. I don't mind if I'm doing something wrong, but ****ing tell me what it is, otherwise its just nitpicking for the sake…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Buggy and honestly underwhelming. Both the upgrades and unlocks do not feel rewarding enough - the thief repeller doesn't seem to change anything, the machine upgrades feel forced and not usefull enough - why would i need multiple blender slots if the machine is already fast enough and I can only take 3 orders at the same time etc? Also the game seems somewhat too quick and too slow at the same time - it doesn't take long to unlock all the ingredients, but then it takes way too long to get…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So far I like the game well enough although it seems like it'll be quick to purchase everything especially if you're lucky with the scratch off cards since the full map unlocks after 7 days.I'm only on day 3 and I've almost bought everything from the grocery store. Aside from that, I'm going to down vote for right now and I'll change it if it's updated or assuming I just missed it, but it's annoying that at the end of the day there isn't a list of your supplies so you actually know what needs…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cozy cat café sim with cute art, lots of recipes, relaxing gameplay with consequences, and achievable achievements. Biggest downside is weak instruction for mechanics—especially advanced features—leading to guesswork. Devs seem responsive, and some earlier issues have been fixed. Coffee orders can be scarce later, but you can decline until espresso appears.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →+achievements are achievable +cuteness +ease of gameplay +replayability factor +soothing music -game instruction -repetitive I got this game in a bundle with three other cozy games by this dev, and I went into Cats & Cups with zero expectations. I could sit and play this over and over again and never get tired of it. While the game isn't hard to play by any means, once you begin unlocking advanced features, there's a definitive lack of instruction on how to to utilize those features.…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I quite enjoyed it. Could use a little more polish as it can be difficult to remember what's in the cup you're trying to make - so being able to mouse over a cup to see what's already applied would be cool. I often find myself mixing up two similar cups because I mistook them. Otherwise this is a very cute and cozy game. Tip: If you still have croissants at the end of the day - call the emergency line to have the cops come and buy them up so you don't waste them and get a little extra…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game but a mechanical mess. Many aspects of the game do not work properly or do nothing at all. Found out by accident that certain mechanics are supposed to be happening in my game and are not- which I thought were just poor design choices. Nope- just stuff that certain "hotfixes" claimed to fix and have not. Not for me at least. If it all worked correctly then this would be a very cozy, cute game about serving cats coffee and I would highly recommend it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ok little casual TM game but the mechanics are burdensome and it seems unbalanced and repetitive without good enough flow to be intrigued to continue playing. It feels more like a chore than a game.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game; the orders are complicated and fun. It is extremely fun when I get in a flow state. However, the thief guy really pisses me off, and he comes WAY too much.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really liked this game - it reminds me a lot of the Flash games from my childhood, but prettier. It has its own challenges. For example, when a thief comes. Some recipes have a lot of ingredients, which adds to the difficulty, as you might get confused and have to start over or deliver the drinks in less-than-perfect condition. I like that the gameplay involves manually mixing and grinding everything - there are various mini-games throughout the cooking process. A nice little game for a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really enjoyed this game so far. HOWEVER there are some things that I would love to see tweaked in the future: 1. The fact we can't stock up on croissants and have to make them every night. Logistically, since they are in the refrigerator, they should be able to be kept. I'm also running into customers asking for items I don't have in stock, which is difficult when I can only make 6 for the next day. 2. The dog whistle and buying the upgrade for less dogs seem to not do much. 3. The economy…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I reccommend this game for lovers of cozy games as well as food orientated ones. This is a simplistic game that has just enough going on to keep it interesting despite it's repetitive nature. If you budget well you can unlock all ingredients in about a week (ingame) which is about 30 mins or so. I like that although the ingredient list is a little small, they can be used to create various drinks as to not become stale. I think the artstyle is simplistic yet cute, the drinks look yummy and the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is just not ready yet. The "tutorial" is awful at explaining anything and it just so unhelpful. I think with more time and effort put into this it could be quite a fun little game to pick up, but as it currently is it is just not worth it. Honestly I would recommend the dev take it down FINISH the game and then republish it on Steam.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It has great potential, but unfortunately I can't recommend this game in its current state. 36 minutes of gameplay and I was already met with: - Unbalanced pacing and learning curve, drinks that require many steps appear right on day 2, you don't have breathing room to prepare them, and getting it wrong only once is a guaranteed lost sale; - Client timer doesn't freeze while tutorial box is up, which only aggravates the pacing issue mentioned above; - When first day is finished, you're taken…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is super cute but i just cant get over all the glitches, the relentless appearance of the thief who steals 5$ every second of the game and the inability to call the police on the thief if the slots are filled up. The tutorial was also severely lacking in how to explain how to do certain things and but certain stocks of items. Could be a great game if more polished.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not rewarding enough. Feels like I will never make enough money to own the cafe (I haven't even reached 5k yet and you need like 15k) and these dang robbers keep stealing from me. Feels a bit more stressful than cozy. I wills till try to 100% it, but honestly it feels more like a chore than a fun relaxing time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice cooking game like the ones I grew up playing. Bought it on sale at $5, quite worthwhile. Replaces Galaxy Burger for me. Pros: 1. Orders show the ingredients needed, what have already been added, as well as point to which customer it belongs to! 2. Lovely visuals and gameplay reminiscent of Pet Society and those flash cooking games. 3. Minigames add to the cooking experience (failing a minigame still provides payment so its not a complete lost). Nitpicks I have (playing on the default…

The problem is you shouldn't at any…

So stupid Its a cozy game, why require perfection?, perfect dead center straw placement that has a timer and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tea is too expensive! It's 500 for only 5 packets, and customers pay like 39 dollars for a cup, it's making me lose so much money cause they keep asking for tea and it makes me not even want to play the game anymore. Please fix this, either make it less expensive or make it get you 20 packets, 5 for each type.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game seems like a good idea but the game is INCREDIBLY imbalanced and a CHORE to progress in, money is hard to earn and new order types are incredibly expensive to purchase which makes progressing such a tedious task to do. I love the original concept and can see it being a good game but the lack of balance early game is making it so hard to enjoy, I usually give games a change 3 times before review to see if it's more of a player thing on my end but I've tried everything and can't get…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is really fun! It can be a little fast paced but you really control how many customers are served at a time. And the new smoothie update? It makes the game even more fun. Please devs add more items; I like the croissants but I was hoping we could serve other dishes like..... maybe soups and/ or catwiches ??
