91/100

Coffee Inc Business Tycoon is one of the most sophisticated business simulations I've seen on mobile. It avoids the 'casual' trap by introducing real-world economic factors like real estate, competitive stock markets, and complex supply chain management. It’s not just about selling coffee; it's about being a shark in the global beverage market.

The level of detail is staggering. You have to decide on the blend of your beans, the location of your storefronts based on foot traffic data, and even the interior design of your shops. Watching your startup grow from a single tiny store in Seattle to a global empire with its own corporate jet is incredibly rewarding. If you love a game that respects your intelligence and challenges your strategic thinking, this is the gold standard of tycoon games.

Great game, couple of problems
Thu Apr 08 2021 KWVIPER

Love the game overall very fun and very addictive. Just a couple issues I noticed overall. I started a game and saved it. Then started a new game. I exited the app and when I opened it up again I went to play the first game I started and it auto saved over my second game. So I lost all the progress I had made in my second game. I started the game with 2 rival coffee businesses. Bought out one and the second one got down to 1 shop total. All of a sudden a new coffee company was created, but after 2 years they still have yet to open a coffee shop. How are they even still a business? The company with 1 shop continues to see increased sales each quarter despite me opening a store right next to it, discounting all prices to 20% off and offering all incentives (I.e. buy one get one free, free WiFi, etc.) all my employees are in the green happy at this location as well. Wish there were more in game decisions that would affect your stock price as well. Very difficult to make a profit off the stocks once you are pretty much the only business with any stores. Would love to see some new updates with additions to the gameplay and new possibilities. Like maybe doing an interview or holding share holder meetings. Or the workers starting a union. Just ideas that can make the gameplay more dynamic. Thanks for the awesome game and I hope to see more from you guys soon!

Can’t get enough of this game!!! Suggestions though???

I think I’m addicted to this game!!! It’s so fun, cool and somewhat educational. Realistic prices and numbers when building or buying something. Even with product pricing and marketing against your competitors. The game forces you to strategize and execute your plans to be the number one chain and make MONEY!!! I have no complaints but I wish there was a way to play with friends or people online. I’m not sure how hard it would be to make this happen but I think it’ll keep players engaged more. Players could tap on competitor’s properties and see how they’re marketing and financing. Then you, the player, could make the necessary adjustments to your properties and gain more revenue. Just a thought. Also, I wish there was a tutorial to explain everything. I’m kinda winging it right now. For example, when I start to lose money, I think “ok let‘s make some random changes to stay out the red.” However, I’m sure if I had more knowledge or some type of understanding of business and finance, I could excel a bit more (or fail a bit more too). Nonetheless, I really dig this game and I believe that it has the potential to encourage and influence future entrepreneurs. Just imagine if high schoolers and middle schoolers had this as a part of their curriculum for a business or finance course. It would do NUMBERS!!! Just my thoughts. Best $2 spent in a while!

Amazing, feels unfinished

I love this game so much because it’s genuinely difficult to get the hang of. I found myself actually researching economics just to get the hang of this game and make better decisions when it came to my stock price, venture capitalism, etc. My biggest problem is that the game feels like it maxes out at a point and becomes very repetitive/grindy. For example, once you win some marketing battles against the competition and your stock price takes off, you can sell as much of your company as you like without losing any percentage of profit. That becomes seed money to invest in startups (an aspect of the game solely governed by RNG), and after you hit on those you can invest in real estate and you’ve pretty much topped out your earning capability. The game is wicked fun in the beginning, but gets shallower and shallower as your wealth increases. That being said, after I give it a break for a month or so I always end up re-downloading it and playing the crap out of it for a few weeks, because it’s really just that good. I hope that the second version or a future update adds more penalty for risky financial moves (like selling all your stock) and gives a better method for evaluating investment opportunities than “hope this goes well.” All that said, GET THIS GAME!

Pretty good, some changes need to happen.
Thu May 20 2021 UnderArm0urKing

The transition from week to week needs to be redone. For example, after getting a loan, my goal is to pay that off so I can start making money again. There’s should be an option to skip multiple weeks or a month if wanted. Secondly, instead clicking on the date to change the week, can you add a fast forward button or something towards the bottom of the game to make it seem more seamless to transition weeks. Also on the week to week notification, could you include an option to view positive/negative’s of a business. Example, if I made a shop and down the line I was off doing other stuff and I don’t notice a decline in sales I would get notified, so I can change things around. Example, mostly if a shop or real estate was constantly losing money or I’m under a certain % of revenue. Also, in 2 games, 1 in 2068 & 1 in 2066, the game crashes every time I transition weeks. No matter what I do. I wonder if it’s because I have so much going on, shops, real estate, investments, and different sport teams if it glitches up and can’t process everything.

High ceiling
Mon Mar 22 2021 My high score is 36

I like this game a lot. I randomly found it on the top paid games and it turned out to be pretty fun. I loved it for a few days, and with the help of one singular Reddit post I managed to learn a little. But there definitely needs to me some sort of tutorial. There’s is practically no information to find ok this game and nothing within the game itself. You are just thrown into the fire and have to figure things out. That would not only make for a better experience overall, but it would bring some appreciation to some of the features that I have no idea what they do/what they are. While this game does get boring once you reach a certain point with money, I think this game has great potential. The base for the stocks, real estate, and investments have a great base. I think there is a lot that can be expanded on, and even having a different business other than a coffee shop. There is a lot of room to grow and I don’t doubt that the devs will be able to expand this game. I like it and I’m optimistic about the future, but there is work to be done.

How does real estate work!?
Thu Mar 11 2021 Not Chandler

Hey this game is really fun! But I’m hoping the devs can clear some things up. Does the player have any effect on the value of their real estate? I’ve tried a lot of different things but it seems random. In fact, I’m usually negative which doesn’t seem like should be the case for real estate. I feel like we should be able to renovate, and increase property values by building nice cafes around it (like gentrification....) There is a glitch in the portfolio where you choose a real estate but it opens a different one It’d be nice if you could have a template store so you didn’t have to choose everything every time. The slider for stocks is kinda horrible if you need to pick a small amount. I don’t have the money to buy half a baseball team but I want to grab a million dollars or so worth, but the slider is hard to be specific with. This is a little thing but you don’t need to animate all the money stacking up each week, and then show the events. It would be nice to be able to move that along quicker. Last thing, I M&A’d the starting competition and more spring up, but they aren’t building stores or gaining much value. Yet, they can still win best coffee awards lol. I want to keep M&Aing to grow but, they don’t get an IPO either. I like the game but there’s some annoying things I’d love fixed/explained, thanks! Clearing even a few of things up would probably move me to five stars.

Too Quick and Buggy
Thu Sep 02 2021 ScarySeagullz

So I did a couple quick runs to try and figure it out and by my third try I broke the game. Once you hit a certain point your coffee shops don’t matter and you make more by closing all of them and buying out your competition. One bug I found is that none of the competition will rebuild even after I closed all my shops. The trick to break the game is to just invest in venture stuff like crazy and eventually one will pay off big. Then you start to buy real estate until you own every property possible and you have infinite income. It didn’t take much time and got pretty boring. I owned 100% of every sports team at one point and changed the name of every school building. The concept is fun, but it got boring really quick and felt like it was too easy. I wish the coffee shop aspect mattered a little more, but it feels like none of the choices you make for customizing your shop really matter.

Less of a coffee shop business sim
Tue Jan 26 2021 paradidaj

First off, loved how the game starts. Choosing a location and fighting for ad space with competitor coffee houses was a fun idea along with being able to micromanage price of drinks and even how to pay employees. Sadly past that, there is little to no customization you can make to your coffee shop after it’s inception into said spot. You can make more shops and repeat the same 7ish options of how it looks and machines but not much more. The income is fairly capped as well at this point. The game then pushes you to branch out to real estate and start up investing. Kinda strange that the income from 4 maps covered in coffee shops that are fully optimized couldn’t bring in as much income as trading in the in game stock market. Worse off it was a little disheartening that the income from a single piece of real estate completely blows out my “coffee empires” income. Great ideas though needs a lot more flushing out along with understanding of what it wants to be.
