  1. [R2] Cafeland 4/5 · US Fun: I really am enjoying this game. There’s so much to do to keep you busy. The more you do, the faster you can progress. My only request would be a way to sort food inventory that’s in storage. Depending on if I’m ready to quit playing or if I want to get rid of low counts of food, you have to go through everything individually. Would like some sorting options.
  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. [R9] Cafeland 3/5 · US Great game: some foods just take too long
  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. [R7] Cafeland 1/5 · US Hate the new update: Bring back the old celebrity guessing option. This update does not help us
  7. [R13] Cafeland 1/5 · US 2.70.3 Update: This review sucks. Why did you take away the way to easily guess the dish for celebrities?? How are we supposed to level up now when we have no way to know what they want? This is ridiculous. I do not recommend.
  8. [R20] Cafeland 5/5 · US Excellent: I have fun, but y’all need to fixes a problem, the cashier on mine, the person I pick keep on changing back to the cashier in the yellow shirt , which sometimes my person is a lady.
  9. [R28] 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
  10. [R32] 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
  11. [R15] Cafeland 3/5 · US Fun but Expensive: Game is super fun and addicting however it costs an arm and a leg to expand.
  12. [R16] Cafeland 1/5 · US Money hungry: Game has gotten worse and no fun anymore!
  13. [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
  14. [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.
  15. [R24] Cafeland 3/5 · US Review: I was genuinely really enjoyed playing this game every single day for about the past 6 years until something around last year happened and I accidentally deleted the game and when I tried to download it back. All my progress was gone, just gone. I spent days trying to get it back and it nothing worked. To this day I still try to find a way to get my stuff back.
  16. [R44] Cafeland 1/5 · US are you kidding me?: i've been playing this game for months. I have dropped so much money on this game literally was just playing it yesterday. I hop on it today and my account gets banned. I love this game and you just banned me. Are you kidding me? update: yes I was unbanned, but I was playing this game every day consecutively for four months I had it as I would play it every time before bed, I
  17. [R48] Cafeland 1/5 · US Game Support: The game has by far the worst support of any game I’ve ever played. They answer you with firm letters that never answer your question.
  18. [R37] 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.
  19. [R39] 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.
  20. [R53] Cafeland 5/5 · US Pretty fun so far!: I like the lack of ads and the overall gameplay is clear and fun!
  21. [R10] Cafeland 1/5 · US New Update Sucks: New update removes “Hint” to answer Celebraties’ query “Can you guess what (sic) dish I want right now?”. I’d rather this challenged be removed than have a blind one out of three chance of choosing the right dish. Hope the reward is at least triple times the former reward.
