Review summary

My Cafe is a cute and engaging restaurant simulation game loved by many for its graphics and gameplay variety. However, multiple users report that progression has become increasingly dependent on real money due to high costs and energy demands. Server issues, game glitches, and frequent ads frustrate players.

Overall, while enjoyable, the game is criticized for its monetization strategy and technical problems.

Very fun game! However, it's unrealistic to complete challenges unless you spend real money to buy items like "diamonds" or "energy" to complete challenges. The game glitches once and awhile where I could not close the app, but this time I had to uninstall the app as it caused a glitch on my phone and I had to take it to Verizon to get the app to clear (I have a 2024 Samsung and they diagnosed the issue as the game and not the phone hardware).

Absolutely love the game! Downfall is that their money hungry! Used to the first bunny board was easy to finish and everyone could finish it, now I bought tickets twice an still couldn't! Towards the end it's 25 tickets per roll! It used to not be that much in the 3rd bunny board!!! And in quest, things cost way WAY more energy! It'll be like 50 energy an have like 10 different items that you have to check to find the thing your looking for! PLEASE, please make the game enjoyable again!?!?

It was fun, but now there's multiple side games, each one requires energy/tickets and it seems scattered, and they keep adding pop up ads to spend money/watch ads to get needed items. I didnt mind paying when it was fun, but now it seems like a "pay to play" to get anywhere and that kills the fun.

6/27/21 was the last time I rated this game (3 ⭐)... Although I believe I began playing many yrs earlier...Since then I've tried playing it several times over the yrs and still not much has changed. It's still too expensive, I'm not getting anywhere with the storyline, keep losing my Township etc and it's just not worth putting real $$ into it. So after all these yrs I've finally made the decision to delete My Cafe...

I've had this game for four years, and loved it! I took some time off and kept it on my phone, and I came back and now I've noticed so much as change. This game is more money-drawing, it's not about joy anymore. The festival are back to back with no real gain from the prizes especially if you have a township. The small challenges are impossible to complete unless you spend real money, the bunny game is impossible to complete again unless you spend real money. Not worth playing anymore.

(Edit) just took it down another star. Other than the fact that the quests bonus game and order chains are rigged. Never have enough energy for quests, and it's the last thing you use energy on to get the item you need in quest. Daily bonus, you end up having to click on everyone to get to the gifts. You almost never get the chance to win something special on order chains. The bunny game has increased tickets to play, and you can no longer compete game. Season and puzzle passes doubled in price.

I loved this game. I've been addicted for like 6 months. But now nothing is working. It's system failure every time I try to launch the game. Having problems with the servers and seems no result is going to happen. *Update* They've fixed the servers! But now nothing in game is working. Cash register won't collect coins. It constantly says I haven't played in 41 minutes. Staff isn't collecting tips. I've wasted boosters and resources trying to build money to get a new machine (Level 30)

Too many festivals. Back to back thru out the week. It drains all your resources and in order for you to advance, they want you to buy more resources. This is how it's designed. Energy costs too much for mini game, takes too long to regenerate and the vacuum is worthless because if it costs a lot of energy, you won't be able to use it on those items. The ticket costs in the board game jump back and forth with every roll. It's stupid. No one wants to spend more than one ticket on a roll

Worked just fine before it updated...now it won't even open. Useless and wasting my storage space. Tried unistalling it 3 freaking times and it still doesn't work. Update on Feb. 24, 2023. Having issues AGAIN. I've tried opening this app to play and "the server is undergoing maintenance " CONTINUOUSLY pops up. I get to play it once ever few days because of this. I cannot finish quests because of this.

It's a cute game. I'm not very far in, still in the tutorial, i think, just myself and a server that I recently hired, but it feels a bit frantic. I'm still trying to understand the lay of the land, and I have multiple people wanting to do five-part special orders at the same time. On the scale of fun, it leans slightly to the stressful side. But it's also automatic also...so it's sort of self-imposed? I got the impression somewhere that you get better goodies if you can handle it by hand.
