  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. [R7] Cafeland 1/5 · US Hate the new update: Bring back the old celebrity guessing option. This update does not help us
  5. [R11] Cafeland 4/5 · US Celebrities: Thanks for making the game so very frustrating that one is ready to quit. What’s the deal of making it so difficult to figure out what the celebrity loves to eat. Leveling up celebrities now is just not worth it
  6. [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.
  7. [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‼️
  8. [R22] 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.
  9. [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.
  10. [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
  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. [R31] Cafeland 5/5 · US Game review: I really enjoy playing this game if I could change anything it would be 2 things starting with when you level up with the type of chef you are , it takes a certain amount of diamonds to do so. In the luxury market where you buy things with coins you earned you only get 2-6 diamonds, depending on what you buy. Sometimes when you purchase things with the gold points you may get more but
  15. [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.
  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.

  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.

  22. [R34] Cafeland 1/5 · US Greedy Developers: This use to be a fun game. Spending real money every now and then, but over the years the developers have turned this into a money trap. The took away anyone who originally had a tip box that never had to be charged, claiming to make it fair to everyone! They slowed down the parties so you need to throw 3 or 4 to complete task. The gummy game now cost $90 cc if you want 5 more m
  23. [R61] Crazy Diner:Kitchen Adventure 2/5 · GB Meh: Great game until I purchased some diamonds, and didn’t even receive them.
  24. [R82] Crazy Diner:Kitchen Adventure 2/5 · GB Where are my gems: I bought gems but never received them I know the money was taken out of my bank but no gems what a waste of money I contacted you but ask what you could do but I asked for the gems I payed for and no reply what a rip off
