Happy Dessert Cafe

I want to like this game, I really do. It’s cute, and the minigames keep the idle cafe element fresh. But good lord is this such a shameless cash grab. Every single time you do anything, they prompt you to click on an ad. Even if you don’t click on those, popup ads play constantly regardless. If you want to turn off ads altogether, most games will offer a one-time purchase of like $2, but no, not this game. It’s $15 a MONTH. You have to pay a subscription for an idle game. That’s so disgustingly greedy. Especially since the rewards they offer for optional ads are generous, so you know they probably aren’t starved for ad revenue even without the popups. (What kind of game needs to be this riddled with ads when it would make more than enough money just on the currency store alone?) Also for some reason they have a cooldown on how many times you can tap to speed things up, which is such a bizarre choice for a game built on the cookie clicker framework. That needs to be removed, why would you want to stop someone from playing your game? You can’t even buy something to get rid of the cooldown, you just have to stop playing at that point.

Hi! I’ve been playing this game now for almost 7-8 months! And I recently got my friend to start playing it as well! She loves the game and is obsessed with it!! As we were talking and playing the game, she was saying if I could trade her some items, sadly though the game doesn’t have that. Having trades and being able to add friends would be really fun! And I wanted to reach out and see if you guys could add one? This game is fun and really therapeutic to play with that’s for sure! I love all the mini games that are also in the cafe game with the cats!! I definitely also recommend this to everyone who wishes to download! Please do think about me and my friend’s little idea! Thank you!

This game is really cute aesthetically, and the flow of it works perfectly to check in for a few minutes periodically through the day. The two mini games are my favorite part, with a familiar fast paced food truck game and a mahjong-style moving truck game, so while I wish we could play them more, I do love how the daily rewards still give you enough gems to complete all of the moving truck stages and food truck goals every day. You continue to progress steadily, and it’s just overall a relaxing experience. The only reason I’m giving this a four star review instead of five is because of a bug I’ve consistently been getting. When playing the moving truck game, if you watch an ad to remove tiles, it will glitch the UI to be entirely unplayable. Typically, closing the game and reopening it will solve it, but it puts your progress back to before you watched the ad, so you have to watch another one and it risks the glitch happening again. A couple of times, I had the entire mini game glitch, with tiles that were uncovered being fully greyed out still — closing it doesn’t fix it, so one time I tried to intentionally fail, and it glitched further, filling the bar with tiles but not giving a failure screen, not letting me back out either. Please look into this! I really love the game as a whole, and highly recommend playing it.
