Review summary

The game is praised for a cute, engaging idle-coffee-shop concept and visuals, but suffers from severe content limits, lack of updates, and persistent technical bugs. Players encounter long wait times for upgrades, heavy ads, and frustration over no-ad purchases not delivering updates. Overall, a promising idea that is undermined by neglect and stability issues.

Pros

Fun, cute idle coffee shop concept.
Engaging pacing and idle gameplay.
Visually pleasing aesthetics.
No-ads option appreciated by players who paid for it.
Shows great potential for the idea.

Cons

Content is severely limited (only two levels) with no progression or new coffee shops.
App feels abandoned with years-long gaps in updates and weak or no support.
Frequent technical issues including crashes, freezes, and unresponsive controls.
Ad-heavy monetization with long ads, plus refund concerns for no-ads purchases.
Extremely long upgrade/research times that make progression tedious.

2025-10-23	do*****	Update: Game is still abandoned, only 2 levels. Avoid. The game is fun but it seems to be abandoned. There are only 2 levels with the tease of more content coming soon. But it has been 4 months since the game was released and there has not been one update for even bugs let alone added content. Heck, the game is still auto running a Christmas event ever few days (it is May). Avoid and definitely do not spend any money on this.

2025-09-16	Lu*****	I specifically play Codigames because I enjoy them. I was so disappointed to spend money on this one to find out there’s only 1 level. Shouldn’t have been released. I requested a refund, which should be understandable.

2025-02-04	ta*****	If I could leave zero stars I would. The app used to be so fun. I even purchased no ads as I enjoyed it so much. The game has been on Christmas and new venue “in progress” for over multiple years. Any support questions are answered rudely and with zero information. They say games with users will be handled with high priority. It seems that this will not be one of them. I am seeing multiple other users with the same issues/experience I have had. I will no longer be downloading anything in relation to the company/creators. I’ve been keeping the game in hopes that one day i would get on and see all these great changes that have been “coming soon” but it’s not even worth the annoyance at this point to keep staring at.

2025-01-20	Na*****	Purchased additional construction crews for this game just to realize that there will never be other coffee shops to move onto AND I’ve advanced my coffee shop to the maximum extent. This game is literally one level with occasion Christmas events in which those levels are exactly the same and produce the same identical prizes. What’s the purpose of them if we can’t use them on advancing further? The ability to order max ICE and MILK from the supplier is NOT available. Sometimes during the Christmas event the game will glitch or a bug will be present and it will allow a 30x Ice option but other than that, you will lose customers because you can’t maximize that order. Lastly, hosts and the baker gets stuck often. The host will grab a pastry out the case and stay there and the baker will not move because supposedly the pastry case is full which isn’t true. The only way to bypass that is to restart the game. This is actually quite sad that the developers haven’t changed this in YEARS!! Now they removed the special employee section so at this point we are literally earning gold coins (during the continuous boring rotating door Christmas event) for nothing!!! This game should be fraud. No one should be spending real money on it. There are never any updates.
