I loved this game few years back, and I still love that they kept lots of what I remember. I wish there is a dark mode for nighttime instead of just morning only theme. For bar items, but besides that this is a great game for relaxation, really cute design.

After years of being unable to play this cute little coffee shop game, it's back with a huge update! Though, I am sad to see that this came at a cost of my coffee shop and purchases being completely reset (may my Civet rest in peace <3) The new game system now gives free daily coins and beans 3x daily, replacing the old cash shop purchases, and the update has removed the food decay mechanic entirely, replacing it with a storage feature that is much less punishing. There is a ton to manage in the game now. Instead of a second café on the beach, you now get to open a gift shop and barbecue pit on the same map. There are now pickup and delivery orders as well, making the game feel more like a modern coffee shop and incentivizing keeping a bit of everything on hand. I will say, though, there are quirks with the new system. Customers and servers path really weirdly if you put seating outside, always choosing to go around the juice stand even if there's a faster path available, and upgrades get very expensive very fast which makes it difficult to keep up (though this could be me being bad at optimizing my shops...) Overall, I'm so happy to see this game alive again, and it's just as addicting as it used to be!

The game is okay so far, but it feels stiff. I’ve been playing this since the rerelease and I can see that the player experience wasn’t prioritized or expanded on when compared to the amount of attention given to buyable items. — Can’t have a custom profile picture— Can’t have bio— Friend feature is boring— UI looks dated and feels clunky— When you place food on a counter you don’t get the option to put it in storage— You can’t upgrade the food counter— Buy catalog doesn’t separate what items can be purchased with coins, or with beans. So if a player isn’t extremely careful, they might end up using beans (an already limited resource)— The amount of coins needed to upgrade staff: it goes from 1K, 4.8k, 11k, to 25,000??? The jump is odd.This game has a lot of potential, it takes a lot of things from Hello Seafood 2, but leave out many of the things that make that game good. Hopefully in future updates things will get better.

I was so excited to see that this game was being brought back because I had loved and played Hello Cappuccino, but this is nothing like the original game at all! This is just Hello Seafood with coffee and desserts. There’s hardly any decorations, they just want you to keep making drinks and food and that becomes a chore, not fun at all. So long to all the cute, joyful games like Hello Cappuccino, I Love Coffee, Fairywoods Patisserie and Sweet Shop, Pocket Potions and Dream Dresses. I am happy I was able to play all those games but it’s the end of an era and there’s nothing like these games to play now, very sad :)
