Not Monday Cafe

Calling all foodies!!

FINALLY a tasty little idler filled with delectable food for us to sink our teeth into *om nom nom*

This is reminiscent of 'Cafe World' by Zynga for me, but improved. I love the farm to table concept and how you get to passively run everything (with some active features if you so wish, like watering and harvesting crops, interacting with customers etc). You can even visit other people's cafes!!

There is some hands on time required for planting crops, unlocking/upgrading new appliances, hiring staff, setting the menu, decorating and renovating. But it is all up to you. You can tackle all of those things on your own time. Don't feel like being active, no problem! Open up shop and watch the magic happen. You can sit back watching the farmers tend to the crops and animals, the chefs whipping up all sorts of treats in the kitchen or the servers tending to a wide array of cute customers.

You earn money during this time. There are quests to work on to unlock new menu items and decorations. Speaking of the decorations, there is so much choice and customization available at baseline. The customers leave star ratings and reviews at the end of service.

The music is varied and calming and I especially like how you can pick the backdrop to your restaurant. I like how it changes depending on the time of day or weather. There are ambient sounds as well such as dishes clinking, food being harvested and cooked up, doors opening and closing... it feels very lively!!

It’s so corny but my favourite part is that you can click on the food being served to customers for a close up picture of the creation and my little glutton self is just drooling :P

This is the first idler I have played that has successfully captured the restaurant management vibe. This game is so very cozy and satisfying thus far.

I honestly cannot wait to make my dream cafe ^_^ Bon Appetit!!

If you're looking for an idle game that you don't have to interact with much, this is it!

If you're looking for an idle game to help out with farming and decorating, this is it!

That's right - it's the best of both worlds. Both gameplays are completely do-able with this one, and I love it!

I played the heck out of the demo during NEXT fest - probably around 10+ hours at least, and have been waiting for full release ever since. It's a simple but charming idle game, and exactly what I've been wanting. The full version is even better than what I was imagining!

So far, I don't recommend it. Not in particular order:
-Few tutorial mention multiple things, but once you did one of the mentioning, it disappeared to next thing. So now I have to start a new game to reread those tutorial?
-This is a single player game, but one of the achievement is require you to have a friend to send a gift to. Not only you need a friend, but you also need a friend that own this game. At least have an NPC friend.
-Kitchen decoration 2x4 cannot place anywhere.
-Uncleared and unexplained on the requirement of mole and pearl Oyster.
-Once hire a staff, those adorable mentioning notes disappeared. Cannot find or reread anywhere.
-Kitchen spaces are uneven because of the pantry tables on each ends.
-Can't move or place chair on its own. Don't bother to have option to move a chair then if it cannot place anywhere else beside the table.
-No 2x2 (or smaller) windows.
-Most of the windows are clearly 2x3, but it said 2x4.
-No 2x4, 3x4, or 4x4 carpets.
-Click the tip jar, the amount is hidden behind money and star layout.
-What's the star currency? It doesn't mention anywhere. Not even in the manual.
-You can harvest all at once by dragging the mouse, but can only water/feed one at a time.
-No time dedicating morning or night.
-Upgraded menu/recipe downgraded by itself overtime. level 5 went back down to level 1. why?
