Fans of simulation games will find a new favorite in Cafe Master! Far from the typical idle mechanics some simulators employ, this free game offers a more hands-on experience. In it, you play the role of a coffee shop owner who has to serve their customers with their caffeine fixes.

Instead of just clicking on the screen to buy and upgrade equipment, Cafe Master! requires you to move your 3D avatar from one point to another. You will earn money that you can use to improve different aspects of the shop, too.

Serve coffee and upgrade equipment

In Cafe Master - simulation game, you will do it all—from feeding the cups into the coffee maker and serving the customers their freshly prepared coffee to picking up the cash they leave behind. You can also upgrade stations and unlock more equipment when you’ve earned enough money. However, moving your avatar across the screen is a bit tricky as the non-stationary joystick controls aren’t smooth.

The customers’ patience levels are pretty long, unlike in similar games wherein they tend to get angry and walk out of the shop if you don’t give them their order quickly enough. You don’t have to worry about having to refill the coffee maker with cups or bumping into tables due to the wonky controls—your customers will still be waiting for their coffee.

The game’s objective is clear and simple, which is to expand your coffee shop and serve more customers. However, the frequent popping of ads makes achieving that endeavor difficult. A few feet of movement will prompt an ad to show, and while some of them can be closed right away, others have to be watched for a few seconds. This disrupts the otherwise smooth and straightforward gameplay.

Fun for a while

Those looking for a new and whimsical way to spend their free time can find a new companion in Cafe Master - simulation game. Unlike clicker or idle games that aren’t very interactive, this game offers a hands-on, 3D coffee-serving experience. However, the fun may be short lived, since the joystick controls aren’t that smooth and there are so many ad breaks.
