What Makes Cafe Master Story Stand Out
Have you ever wanted to run your own coffee shop?
The smell of fresh roast beans, the gurgling of the espresso machine, the sheen of a squeaky-clean counter… All this and more await you in this quirky sim game!
Just set up your tables and counter seats, and wait for the customers to come rolling in. Add handy features like magazine racks, or chic furnishings to give your cafe a more welcoming atmosphere.
Coffee and tea are just the beginning—there's a whole world of hot and cold drinks out there just waiting to be discovered! Try out different combinations to make your regulars happy, or attract new customers. You can even recommend your favorites via the Specials Board.
Feel like a little something on the side? Combine food items with drinks to create Combo Meals. These can also be entered into contests—pick the right meal for the right theme, and you're sure to win it big and make your cafe even more popular!
You're not just limited to one town, either. You can move your cafe to several new locations and discover new customers. You may even encounter some familiar faces…
So, what are you waiting for? Grab an apron, boil up some water, and get started on your journey to becoming a five-star cafe!

Community Insight:
As a long time fan of Kairosoft (they are the ONLY developer we've ever searched for repeatedly to check their releases), this is by far our favorite title. This is our first time buying a paid game instead of playing a free version and it is INCREDIBLE. Worth every dollar, never a dull moment, constant dopamine in this game without greedy or overused mechanics. We recommend!! Start your own cafe now you wont regret it.
Really, if youve played Kairosoft games before you know how good they can be, and this is one of the more fun ones. Its a good balance of trying to balance different things to expand and improve your cafe, while finding new and better recipes. Recommended.
Have a great time every time. Cute and easy to casually play.
This is another addicting game. We like the recipe finding and trying to find a solution to peoples troubles. Great game.
Standard kairosoft game. Lots of fun.
You guys need to make another baking game!!!! We still play the old one and we would love to have a new updated version. Im a baker ourselves and there are no good and fun baking games. Theres unlimited desserts out there and it could be so fun to run a bakery and make desserts and pick the menu of desserts and drinks.
This is a lot of fun! We like seeing the recipes you can come up with and it is relatively relaxing. Its one of the more chill games.
Its a fun and easy game. We love the graphics, and fun to make drinks, and food combos.
We absolutely love this game! We wish it showed Topping compatibility when choosing them during Drink making, but other than that? No complaints.
Found ourselves playing it quite a bit, definitely a lot of fun trying to make all kinds of different drinks, customizing your own shop, and entering your combos into a contest.
Its still a great game our 4 time redownloading it and we still would love to see a wrestling one or like a mma one with romance in it too where we can be a wrestler going from rookie to legend or a burn out and end up as a coach still to train the next and have a family we could also pass it on to as well as another choice.
We absolutely love this game. A great game once again from kairosoft! You guys rock.
The way mobile games should be done. Good way to de stress after a hard day.
Really fun, layered sim game. Taught us some new things about coffee. Thanks.
The game is the best but our game wont save.
Theres a bug where if you have the Recruit staff event pop up and Contest event day pop up at the same time, the recruit button then becomes bugged and you cant recruit any more new staff :( Every time you press recruit now, it says Lets recruit some new staff after the current recruitment drive is done. Ive been playing almost 1 year in-game since the bug appeared, and the recruitment pop up still hasnt popped up.
Id give more stars but developers dont pay attention to anything that doesnt have less than three stars. Music doesnt work in any of the kaitosoft games after the most recent iOS update. Or it might just be the phone itself. Sound Effects are fine but music is gone.
Like many Kairosoft games, its not intuitive to start with. But it gets more fun as you figure out more and more of the game parameters, and theres a lot of interesting features and permutations to discover.
We love cooking mechanics is almost any game, so to have a management sim based around coffee is perfect. We love the variety and combos you can make as you gradually get more ingredients. It makes it very rewarding when you get enough money to make big upgrades to ingredients. Easily one of our top 3 kairosoft games so far behind Pocket Academy 3.
Another addicting game from Kairosoft! Love the vibe of this one, it has the same sort of idea as Cafe Nippon but with more features and a lot to keep you busy as you level up. Totally recommend it, Im already obsessed with it and havent even hit our third star level up. Would love to see a Hotel / Motel type game from you guys some day.
Very good game but we are not having the option to rank up.
We have played the game a couple of times now and have reinstalled it. The tank up button never appears in the menu. So we can play the game but none of the advanced features of the game ever show up because the cafe always stays at zero stars even though we meet the rank up conditions.
We love the game by we think it would be better if we could destroy our items and they go back to our inventory rather than us just rebuying them. Its quite a hassle to get around it when we upgrade the place and have to play Tetris just to move things around. Overall love it tho.
Wish there could be more recipes for coffee :D.
Such a great game. So thoroughly and thoughtfully designed and zero bugs.
Another great game by Kairosoft! Every game just keeps getting better.
Keep em coming. We really muff with ur games. Thank u.
We love this game so much. We have been playing it for about a month and it's honestly so addicting. There are so many cute details and so much love put into the game, we also enjoy that there are no ads and no in-app purchases that you have to get to get further in the game. We have already "completed" the game but there is still so much left to do.
Love all the Kairosoft games, one of the few mobile games Ill pay for.
Ive been playing these games for years and this is one of our more favorites! Its so cute and we love being able to make all the drinks and meal combinations. Cant wait to see whats next.
The usual Kairo game, fun, addictive and cute! We wasnt as satisfied with some of the newer games but this one seems to have the right balance and excitement. Operating a cafe with a huge combo of drinks and cafe food its surprisingly enjoyable. Many structures to unlock too. Its great that you can play this in Japanese too.
Def in our top 3 fav kairosoft games, keep it up.
Great little game, well worth $6! Tons of variety and variation, Ive beat the game once and now need to see if we can do better on subsequent play throughs. We cant wait to see what they add to the game, theres so much they can do to build it out.
Been playing these games since ninja village and we love them, this game is the first of theirs in a while to really get us addicted again.
Another challenging microeconomic strategy game from Kairosoft. Have a mug and stay a while.
GreatI alway play those games. We like it.
It lets you expand a lot. Besides theres combos and different toppings and foods so you can make a number of combinations and it doesnt get boring. So far we love it. Its worth the money to keep us entertained for an app that doesnt require internet. 10/10.
Kairosofts been killing it with new releases lately. We hope they continue the streak.
After 6 hours or so game is all said and done Wish there were more tables.
Im having a lot of fun reorganizing our cafe and trying to dial in our drinks. But we would love to be able to create a larger variety! And potentially have control of cooking methods? That and 1 more slot would give us tons of opportunities to create our favorite drinks.
The game play loop is good but the UI could be tweeked to be a bit less clunky, other than one or two things that are just personal to us really good game for the price.
It was addicting for the first couple days, but you learned you can reuse the same recipes everytime to solve Troubles issues. You also finished the game before discovering more recipes and troubles (that quickly becomes irrelevant too). Think this is one of the least satisfying Kairosoft games for us.
Not really good at leaving reviews but If we must.. We really enjoyed cafe story!! All is left is a idle kind of game playing while off and offline (no internet) we enjoy majority of kairosoft games and mostly the kingdom adventures and the Pirate one and most definitely the cafe story! Should we expect and cafe story 2.
This game was so much fun and we enjoyed playing it through again to try to beat our original high score. Its super cute and creating new drinks was fun and the combo were interesting! While we enjoy the social media aspect in other Kairosoft games, we were glad this game didnt have one, sometimes it becomes overwhelming to keep up with. We loved this game and all the recent releases from Kairosoft. Dear Kairosoft, Please continue to make amazing games for iOS. We love playing them on mobile and have been a fan since our first iPhone a long time ago. Thanks for everything.
Im enjoying where you are taking the food series of games, enjoying everything youve made.
Ive played a handful of Kairosoft games and really loved them. Our favs are Cafe Nippon and Mega Mall. Just recently bought this one and havent stopped playing for 2 days, highly addicting and cute and still have lots to do in the game! Well worth the purchase.
We love every kairosoft game! We look in the app store to see if theres a new game almost every day please do a daycare version!! Itd be a good concept & we feel like itd turn out really cute(: you have our support Kairosoft! Keep bringing out games.
Ive played most of the kairo games and we were hoping this game would give us some freedom to atleast create our own dishes like in burger bristo the game isnt bad youre just very limited to what you can do but if you love the coffee theme you should get it, we just wish we got more freedom of what to out on the menu and how to gain customers.
