Our Expert Score

96/100

Cafe Master Story is Kairosoft at its absolute best. There is a reason this developer is the king of the 'story' sim genre—they understand how to make every tiny detail feel significant. Managing your own coffee shop in their signature pixel-art style is a cozy, deeply engaging experience that quickly turns from 'just checking in' to a multi-hour management obsession.

The depth of customization is what makes this game shine. You aren't just placing tables; you're creating 'Combo Meals', managing the Specials Board, and even choosing the right furnishings to attract specific types of regulars. The thrill of moving your cafe to a new town and seeing familiar faces return is a heartwarming touch that makes the world feel connected. It’s balanced perfectly, with new features and drinks constantly being introduced just as you're mastering the old ones. A must-have for any simulation fan.

Best Kairosoft Game

Mon Oct 27 2025 Expectationz.Shadow

As a long time fan of Kairosoft (they are the ONLY developer I've ever searched for repeatedly to check their releases), this is by far my favorite title. This is my first time buying a paid game instead of playing a free version and it is INCREDIBLE. Worth every dollar, never a dull moment, constant dopamine in this game without greedy or overused mechanics. I recommend!! Start your own cafe now you wont regret it!!

Coffee Shop

Another addicting game from Kairosoft! Love the vibe of this one, it has the same sort of idea as Cafe Nippon but with more features and a lot to keep you busy as you level up. Totally recommend it, I’m already obsessed with it and haven’t even hit my third star level up. Would love to see a Hotel / Motel type game from you guys some day!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great game

It’s still a great game my 4 time redownloading it and I still would love to see a wrestling one or like a mma one with romance in it too where we can be a wrestler going from rookie to legend or a burn out and end up as a coach still to train the next and have a family we could also pass it on to as well as another choice

Destroyed Items

I love the game by I think it would be better if I could destroy my items and they go back to my inventory rather than me just rebuying them. It’s quite a hassle to get around it when we upgrade the place and have to play Tetris just to move things around. Overall love it tho!!

Super fun!

I love cooking mechanics is almost any game, so to have a management sim based around coffee is perfect. I love the variety and combos you can make as you gradually get more ingredients. It makes it very rewarding when you get enough money to make big upgrades to ingredients. Easily one of my top 3 kairosoft games so far behind Pocket Academy 3

It keeps you engaged. It’s also very well planned.

It lets you expand a lot. Besides there’s combos and different toppings and foods so you can make a number of combinations and it doesn’t get boring. So far I love it. It’s worth the money to keep me entertained for an app that doesn’t require internet. 10/10 🤗

Another great Kairosoft game

Really, if you’ve played Kairosoft games before you know how good they can be, and this is one of the more fun ones. It’s a good balance of trying to balance different things to expand and improve your cafe, while finding new and better recipes. Recommended!

Another fantastic game

This game was so much fun and I enjoyed playing it through again to try to beat my original high score. It’s super cute and creating new drinks was fun and the combo were interesting! While I enjoy the social media aspect in other Kairosoft games, I was glad this game didn’t have one, sometimes it becomes overwhelming to keep up with. I loved this game and all the recent releases from Kairosoft. Dear Kairosoft, Please continue to make amazing games for iOS. I love playing them on mobile and have been a fan since my first iPhone a long time ago. Thanks for everything!!
