Cafeland Reviews

I started playing this game around 3 weeks ago and I rate it 5 star from the beginning. It is a 3 star now because what you advertise in the game is just deceiving. It was easy to level up and easy to make coins and cash. The game is not demanding and it doesn’t take up a lot of time to play. A little hard to level with all the celebrities because there’s so many different food that they want and so many kinds in different categories. Hate the fact that I can’t sell anything in the fridge unless I put it on the plate or increase my capacity with coins instead of cash. I accumulate so much of my cash and even bought with real money the small package that was offered. My problem...I also love the party group and decided to use $50 cash to buy a new purple party sticker. You advertised 100% for a new party sticker for $50. I wanted to get a new one to open up a new party because I only have 1 one for each of the few ones that are not full. I bought one and it gave me a sticker for Fantastic Odyssey. I’ve host that party at least a good 10x or so, so that’s an old one. If I knew that I’ll be getting one of the old ones, I’ll save my cash for something else. Sounds petty because it’s just a game, right, but $50 cash is a lot when you’re saving up. I’m a little discouraged to continue but I really like your game so I’ll give it another try, but please don’t advertise stuff if you’re not going to stick to it .

The game used to be fun in like 2017. And I wasn’t even in the hundreds levels then. It was easier to accumulate cash to spend on items, get drops to make sauces, use cash to boost the premium items, and figure out celebrity favorites to get good items. Now that’s all much harder to do in order to get irl cash out of players. Fair but I refuse to go for it when the other downsides aren’t worth my money.

The updates have been locking stoves and counters previously earned and put out, upping the cash prices for the most common things, putting a cash button behind caps without an “are you sure?” Stop-gap to prevent overspending, and unbalancing the possibility to complete some tournament tasks without spending cash.

I’m over level 100 now so it’s supposed to be harder. This isn’t just harder. It’s getting to be a scam. It makes the game much less enjoyable to suddenly have assets I earned and/or always had suddenly vanish and I have no real way to prove it was there. For all I know I’m missing unlocked dishes, prize items, and vouchers as others have stated. Why would I risk spending my money to buy what I earned but developers took via a glitch? Also PLEASE FIX THE NOTIFICATIONS!! I do not need 1 notification per dish, that’s excessive and I have to turn it off because it’s like spam.

When I first started playing this game it was quite enjoyable but with the most recent update it has turned into a absolute nightmare. Catering challenges need 1000 boxes for the big reward...that would mean each player in the neighborhood if at max players would need at least 33 boxes +, you can only fill 3-5 boxes per truck every 12 hours, so to even to be able to do your part you would need to spend at least 10-20 USD on Cafebucks to quick send your trucks to be able to even come close to a half way obtainable goal, not only that what used to cost 1 cafebuck to cancel a task it now costs 500 cafecash. Again that would be roughly 10 USD per task that you cancelled. I ended up leaving my neighborhood because I just felt defeated that I am not able to drop $20-50 dollars per tournament to be able to do my part and it was such a competitive neighborhood always felt like I was a failure. I get the business tactic of wanting/needing to make money but this just feels like taking advantage of the situation to make some fast cash. I will keep the game downloaded and will check for future updates to see if things have changed but for now I will try a different cafe game and see how that one fairs to this.

I also play this app on my computer but, this version called this app World Kitchen has more kinks & flaws than I know what to do with. You can't move things with out having to tap the screen a dozen times, tapping the stoves to make food ok however if you want to make different dishes you are stuck with waiting for the game to catch up if you try to move fast, the game runs slow especially after updates. The fact you can't use coins to unlock food or earn the untensils like in the pc version only make those who can afford to fork out big money to play this game able to play it without a struggle or having to buy the cafe cash that unlocks food or to build machines, that is another issue with this version of this app you have to use these ridiculous "coupons" to build drink machines or equipment this is beyond stupid, why do this different if it's the same game, in the pic version you can buy the machines & equipment with coins or cafe cash there are no ridiculous "coupons" or vouchers, PLEASE GET RID OF THIS ISSUE & allow us to use coins to buy machines & equipment.
Over all fun game just an expensive knock off.

The game becomes expensive to play if you choose to play with a club which the game strongly encourages. It is not fun playing outside of a club because you need the club to get rewards needed to enjoy the game. It has become so expensive to play that I believe they’re trying to wean out old players who use to play when the game was actually fun. People are quitting more frequently than before out of frustration with the game becoming so money hungry. Insane cooking times have gotten worse. Less rewards for needed items. The only reason I still play is because I’ve grown attached to the people I lead in my club of 30. I’ve been playing off & on for over 10 years & it has gotten worse over the years. Clicking on 40+ stoves individually gets old real quick. 10 hours cooking one item or use sauce that they’ve made very difficult to acquire. smh it’s designed to consume every hour of the day to get what you need to play the game. It’s using fake looking food as a pose to the real look of food the game have shown for years. …

I’ve been playing the game pretty consistently for about 2yrs and I’ve really enjoyed it and I’ve gotten my girlfriend, mom, and even my little brothers to play in the same club. My only problems are that they keep raising the in game cash prices for things like automatic stove cleaners and comment collects and thing like that. Another thing is all the events for the pass are the same each year I’ve played they never add any new events it’s always the same ones. Holidays I can understand being the same each year but it’s never anything creative or something pop culture related it’s always the same boring repetitive stuff. They need to add new food items, more celebrities, more creative party ideas, a way you can opt out of your clubs doing weekly league events, and just make it more user friendly with the UI (it’s all so crowded especially if you have a smaller screen, even with my 13 Pro Max it still feels like the UI is crowded). Hopefully this reaches the right person so changes can be made for the people that enjoy the game like myself, because I’d really hate to stop playing if things don’t get a little more creative and effort gets put into the game rather than this copy and paste cycle it’s in right now.

The game is fun, but has several flaws that hopefully will be remedied in future updates. I finally discovered that sticker packs are for parties, which you have to unlock. Don't spend your purple stickers first like I did. Parties seem to be more expensive than beneficial. I play this app on my pc, or did for about a year. That cafe is close to level 200. I wish I could sync it. I also don't understand the gift caps or friend cap. I haven't been able to expand for 20 levels or so because the game never gives you expansion cards, and it seems you can't have a popular cafe without shelling out some real dough. My least favorite feature is how you can't shelve construction projects, so they just sit in their ugly brown box until you have enough vouchers which seems to take forever. When you're visiting friends, it would be nice if the scroll bar would stay in the same place. Also it would be good to have a "home" button on the main page to get back to your cafe, and the game also needs built in "are you sure you want to use cash for that?" Pop ups as I have accidentally used it on numerous occasions.

I played years ago and got up to level 94, after spending some years away from my game I came back to it to find my level was downgraded to 64 and a lot of items I had were taken away and locked back up but that’s okay it gave me new goals. When your in a group there’s limited help, they help you with your food truck and sending you gifts and getting you rewards for contributing if your group as a whole does well. I believe the game should add a way where you could send people gold gloves or vouchers that they need to complete something (not a random gift that’s usually a speedup). I like a couple of my teammates are on a good percent of the day just to try and get the group where it is in the rankings so if you want to place well your going to be on the game a ton. The competition to $300 cafe dollars is a bit brutal in the idea it wants you to make over 200 of one item which makes it harder for anyone to complete so I believe they need to get rid of those. The trophy race can be brutal as well considering you have to constantly throw parties or serve dishes, there should be a trophy race for coins collected or tables cleaned off. Overall great game very entertaining and definitely time consuming.

Appreciate the free to play options that does not pressure you to watch ads 24/7. I did purchase the Golden Ticket because I loved the decor designs so much though. Have been playing a week daily now so I can give some feedback. The overall design of the design and aesthetics are great. I wish the cashiers and chefs had a customizable option for their apparel and appearances. The user-face gameplay can sometimes be sticky/sensitive. The merge game items are too close to the bottom of the phone so you end up swiping the game away multiple times if not too careful. A lot of time it is hard to collect tips and mop the floors because it does not sense the tapping. When you meet certain criteria for the golden ticket, it does not notify you to claim the item so you have to constantly check on it yourself. Also wish the decor had a search button because it takes a while to scroll through everything if you are looking for something specific to purchase. Overall, really great game for those looking for a fun casual decor and cooking management game!

I love the game, I really do. But the fact that we have to spend more money on things for the same amount of time is ridiculous! Why would you increase the stove cleaner to $300! I’m never doing that again, but I am tired of cleaning my stoves. You make things hard to get, but they are required to finish tasks! The sauces…why can’t we have as many as we want? And why do you make it hard for us to get the rare items in the spin? If you’re not gonna give it to us, TAKE IT OUT!!! Why do we need to invite so many celebrities and we never have what they want so we can never level up! I do however like the mini merge game. Please don’t mess that up! Also, since we have to buy almost everything at ridiculous prices, why can’t we buy the coupons? I’m tired of all these boxes in my restaurant!! We at least should be able to put them in inventory. Kids aren’t playing this game…adults are!! Consider that!!

The increase in Green$ cost to bring Celebs early makes it difficult to play the game. The price is now more than double what it was. The time allotted vs the amount of Celebs needed to complete task requires spending Green$ for the task. Will be skipping this task - too stressful. No longer getting Green$ from parties. Green$ needed for Celebs and to recharge Premium Boosters. When current supply runs out I will be forced to spend real dollars to play. The amount of servings to fill a box has increased. Game is stressful now instead of a way to relax. The ratio of rewards earned for team members has changed dramatically. Last Tournament team earned 7 Gold. Only 1 Gold earned this Tournament. Dollars earned from rewards needed to level up Cafe. Will be interesting to see if dollars for Gold is still as high as it was before. Already reduced the dollars in Silver reward awhile back. Was a really fun game. Latest change really bad for players.

In this game you get to run and manage a cafe. It is so nice to hop on to this game and sit down for a while to play. I do just a piece of advice try to level up fast so you can have more rewards to enjoy the game. I just have a problem is I just barley get any exp from playing and it is hard when you have to collect over 10,000 to complete a club challenge. For my club we must complete at least 60 tasks so sometimes it is hard. Also when you get challenges that make you wait a day because you already did them. But overall a great game would recommend for any age and gender also you can play on more then one device by linking them together which is really nice because some games don’t have it. And if you’re like me who has multiple devices and can only take one to Cretan places this is a really nice feature. That is why this a amazing game. I personally highly recommend this and that is rare for me.

In the update, you have uped the food trucks bonuses to 100. In competitive clubs like mine, we are required to do them all. I almost ran out of materials required to do so. I wonder if you can give us more Invisible cakes and the other one too and more oppertunities to aquire magic sauces.. it just doesn’t make sense that you make it hard to earn these things that can’t be bought or made such as the cakes, while also making it harder for us to complete tournament or milestones. A lot of people are quitting because it is becoming a chore rather than fun and stress relieving as a game. The higher level you get you should get more perks and bonuses rather than more work.. There are small things that can improve gameplay dramatically. I have stopped doing parties and collecting bubbles all together because it has became very tedious and time consuming. I believe bubbles from parties should be collected automatically. Imagine being a high level with maxed out level 20 party and waiting for it to be done.. Parties are supposed to be fun, not a chore. Decorating has also became annoying as it is hard to layout flooring to every corner of the restaurant when you can’t move freely.. There should be more perks and rewards to being a high level.. please. If not the game will totally die out. Thank you for listening. Have a happy and safe new year.

This is possibly my new favorite game. I love the past event shop where you can get items that were available before you started playing, the parties and all the great ways to earn things you need to progress in the game. I also like that it doesn’t take too long to lvl up and that for the most part, I don’t see myself burning out because everything suddenly got way too hard like so many games have ended for me. Super cute decorations. A few critiques since playing longer: The room expansions are way too expensive coin-wise for the tiny amount of space you get to expand for each one. Consider multiple rooms for us to get to put out so many cute decorations. I have to store so many of my favorites because there is just no room. You need a double click option to prevent us from spending bucks by accident, particularly when we invite celebrities and the speed up option pulls out on the screen - have lost so many bucks by accident over it. 😢

This game use to be the best cooking game on the internet but has turned out to be the worst. I’ve played it off and on for over 10 years mainly because of the wonderful people you meet in the clubs. But now it’s design to consume every minute of the day with insane cooking time and hard to get sauces. It’s like chasing crack. It’s hard to keep club members because people keep quitting when they see the demand. If you don’t join a club you won’t get needed rewards you need to play the game. It’s like satan has taken over the game stressing people out that want to play but the developers are thirsty for the money. It’s a very expensive game. It wasn’t always this way. It has just gotten worst. Not getting your rewards after watching ads that suppose to last a minute but end up doubling and then cheat you out of your reward. I really hate to leave this club of 30 people I’m a leader of but this last update was my last straw. Too stressful.

Before the “Game Team” decoded to change the reward system it was great! As we cooked dishes we accumulated items that would allow us to choose which special events we wanted in order to decorate our cafe. The Special events are all different. Right now it is Octoberfest. Now it takes 40,000 (pretzels) to receive one random gift. It gives you 1 floor tile or a couple wallpapers or a poster .. normally we could save up and choose. Many of us would save up and buy a mess of floor tiles or the Amount if Wallpaper you needed then maybe some tables and chairs. With this new system we are no longer given the choice on how you want to decorate your own cafe. And it gives your repeat items.. I don’t need a bunch of dancing kids to put in a cafe! I would never choose those, they are useless and you can sell them but they aren’t with anything at all. It’s ridicules and useless. I am no longer going to buy any boxes to get worthless decorations. If the Game Team doesn’t change this back there will be a mass exodus! We already are being controlled in the real world, now in our game world too? Nope! Don’t know what they are thinking making this change! Just terrible & beyond frustrating. Giving it the rest of the week and will be done with this!

Initially when you start it seems like it’s really difficult and expensive to expand, but once you unlock the buildings (it took me a few days), it becomes so much more fun. The developers are pretty generous with their premium currency. There’s only a few complaints I have/things I think should be polished.

-I think we should be able to craft multiple sauces all at once. Right now, we tap one button to craft one, but sometimes for some reason when I tap, it taps the craft button twice and I have accidentally spent my premium currency because of this. Being able to choose how many sauces we want to craft all at once would solve this issue.

-I don’t find parties to be rewarding at all. Sometimes you can get favors and premium currency, but so far I haven’t found them to be rewarding at all and it isn’t worth it unless you need to do them to complete a task.

-I love the rainbow market. I have been only playing this game for just over a week now, and being able to buy cute furniture and decorations from previous events is awesome. However, I wish that we could buy as much wallpaper/flooring as we want as long as we have the currency. At the moment you can only buy 5 units each rotation in the rainbow market, so I don’t have enough wallpaper to cover all the walls in my cafe even though I can afford it.

Overall though, I think this game is definitely worth having :) I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys tycoon games

The game is great! It’s fun and very entertaining. One of the best parts is the group Tournaments. Making sure you understand the task before doing, asking your new chefs group friends should help. It’s really easy to level up and get CL cash. Making sure you visit your neighbors and also your group friends is the key to getting a lot of drops. Only problem I have with the game is that some dishes take forever to master. I think instead of having to cook 3-400 dishes especially the ones that take 20 hours to 48, which is a little too hard. You should be able to buy a food mastery. I’m already spending real cash weekly to make sure my Premium Boosters are working. This should be an option in my opinion. Also one of the things that made Cafe’ World so fun was you were able to help your friends by un spoiling dishes or leaving gifts they could use.
Also what’s up with all the welcome cake, yes I understand you need it to complete catering orders, but do we really need it as much? Sometimes on The Lucky Chefs Spin, it gives you nothing but the Welcome cake! Ugh
Overall it’s a great fun game.

I love the game so much every day when I play it’s like I’m in a real café and I feel at home and everybody loves my café. I have seven ovens. And three or five stands and I have a lots of floor grounding. I get a lot of money almost every day and there would not be no changes. It’s perfect the way it is and I love the game love it you get to go see other peoples cafés people get to come to your cafés and I just love the way you get to play it every day every minute and I never even knew that you could open a café and close your cat. Feel like that’s cool and whoever made the game is a very creative person and I love that they chose to play a game that a lot of people work for for example someone I know works in a café and I go there a lot so it’s really respectful for people that actually work in cafés and restaurants so thank you for the people that decided to make this game because it makes a lot of people happy and if people give you the rules and saying that they don’t like it who cares about them, don’t worry about them worry about your game that everybody loves that you created you’re famous and everybody loves you for it

I have been playing since day one when it was only available on Facebook. I enjoy all the new features however the party points cannot be bought and it takes a very long time to level up. Even if you use cash to buy the new stickers it is rarely you can get the stickers you need for the next party level to earn party points ,which don’t allow you to Rank Up. This used to be the same issue before with the cafe expansion but you all are the best , you worked it out before I could mention it. As well as the items needed for catering. Also , there is no option for us to really support our club members or friends like sending specific items, trade items, money, etc will there be an update to allow this? I love the improvements and as a dedicated player I hope you take this into consideration. Thank you for listening.
Best game Ever..
