  1. [R3] Cafeland 3/5 · US New update: I really enjoy the game and I play for hours. I enjoy the latest update because when tap on a celebrity it shows the bar up top of what their ranking is. There is not a hint pic anymore for which food would the celebrity like. If that makes sense. Is that how it is supposed to be now? Thank you
  2. [R4] Cafeland 1/5 · US Go back to basics: Too many not user friendly updates- taking away the Celebrity food hint has ruined Celebrities, It will take forever to level up. Too many side challenges - bubble popping race microphone drop, numerous challenges coming outta the left hand clipboard, etc. Trying to play the basic game is near impossible. Boosters cost too many cards to use. Drop the amount down to 15-20 to ma
  3. [R6] Cafeland 3/5 · US Latest update: new update is not good. I dont like we no longer get clues from celebrities to chose the right dish
  4. [R7] Cafeland 1/5 · US Hate the new update: Bring back the old celebrity guessing option. This update does not help us
  5. [R5] Cafeland 5/5 · US Love this game: But I noticed lately the internet connection fails && I’m always using Wi-Fi on my iPad UPDATE 04/22 GAME IS CRASHING DURING GAMEPLAY …… SEVERAL TIMES‼️
  6. [R21] Cafeland 1/5 · US Unavailable: This game would not let me play. I just barely started this game wouldn’t let me cook anything. Just says unavailable.
  7. [R25] Cafeland 1/5 · US Tutorial glitch: will not let me get through cooking the very first burger before glitching out and not letting me do anything. No help anywhere
  8. [R29] Cafeland 1/5 · US No longer works: I loved this game and played it all the time on my android phone . Now that I switch to an iPhone, I’m no longer able to play it. Every time I try to open it, it says I need to download the update but there’s no update for the iPhone version. I’ve tried deleting it and reinstalling it multiple times with the same results. It sucks but I guess I have to find another game to play th
  9. [R1] Cafeland 2/5 · US No customer service: The game is fun, but no customer service what so ever - because of that I give it a 2.
  10. [R15] Cafeland 3/5 · US Fun but Expensive: Game is super fun and addicting however it costs an arm and a leg to expand.
  11. [R16] Cafeland 1/5 · US Money hungry: Game has gotten worse and no fun anymore!
  12. [R19] Cafeland 1/5 · US Changes for so called leveling the play: KMA. Take away the celeb hint. The latest in poor choices. It’s a game that is less and less appealing for stress free enjoyment. If you have money to pay to play, it’s a game for you. I started playing when it was on facebook. Now it’s for hardcore gamers only. They seem to think constant take away of perks will make it fair. Fair to who? Not me. Now they
  13. [R12] Cafeland 3/5 · US Fun but not as fun as it could be: Why does it take so long for food to sell? I loved playing another game that’s old but I don’t play it because it never gets updated so I tried this one out. The problem with this game is I cooked a few dishes and the dish is still sitting there DAYS later, hardly selling. Fridge is full and you have to keep putting things away to fill delivery orders. Can’t put
  14. [R24] Cafeland 5/5 · US Need More Cards Faster: I really enjoy the game and all of the different foods and such. One thing I don’t like is that it is really hard to get the “cards” for the vending machines and stuff to open them and gain enough to do that. Maybe less card quantity or more with “awards”?
  15. [R54] My Cafe 1/5 · US Can't log in: Your stupid game stopped working. Endless loading, then it says there are technical issues. Support doesn't work at all. They're just there for show. · translated
  16. [R55] My Cafe 5/5 · US I recommend this game, it’s not to much!: I love playing this game before work, it is a little addicting I will say but it’s great I love the story mode and how you can decide and the building my personal cafe! You do need patience for the recipes but I’m good with that and I’d prefer if you could actually do a 360 for the cafe but overall it’s great!
  17. [R56] My Cafe 3/5 · US Skip Tutorial Needed: I wish you could skip the mini game tutorials, it’s annoying having a hard stop that prevent me from doing anything else in the game because it’s determined to force interaction. A “skip tutorial” option should always be available because the hard stops to teach game mechanics isn’t needed at level 24
  18. [R57] My Cafe 2/5 · US Fun for a day: This game is fun until the customers start only placing special orders. You can only get the special ingredients from phone orders (that don’t refresh offen and you only get a few each refresh) or you need to buy the ingredients with gems that you’ll need to pay money for once you use them up. Would be fun if the customers kept getting regular orders as well as the special orders so
  19. [R32] Cafeland 5/5 · US No annoying ads!!: So many activities and no pop up ads. So fun and engaging with different game modes as well. Love love love.
  20. [R33] Cafeland 5/5 · US Enjoyable: Not forced to watch ads. You can watch ads to get extra things. Not overly hard to get money and the materials needed to expand and build. Really good game.
  21. [R41] Cafeland 5/5 · US Pretty fun so far!: I like the lack of ads and the overall gameplay is clear and fun!
