Our game · Coming to the App Store
Pop the kettle on.
Customers wander up to your tiny counter, you tap the kettle, the oven or the espresso machine, and you serve them before their patience runs out. Sixty seconds of cosy chaos, then a breather. Free with gentle ads, or £2.99 once to remove them forever.

Made for the sofa and the departure gate.
We wanted a game you can pick up for one shift and put down without guilt. No energy meters, no daily streaks to protect, no timers running while you are away.
Tap to brew, tap to serve
One thumb. No swiping, no timers to babysit. Tap a station to start it, tap the customer to hand it over.
Busy is the fun bit
Serve back to back to build a streak, and the tips grow with how much patience the customer had left.
One star opens tomorrow
Every shift ends with one to three stars. One is enough to unlock the next day, so nobody gets stuck.
A menu that grows
Tea and croissants on day one. Coffee, cake, cookies, juice and toasties arrive as the café finds its feet, with permanent upgrades to spend your coins on.
How it is built
Fully native, small, and honest about money: one purchase, no subscriptions, no ads while you are playing.

- StoreKit 2 for the single one-off purchase
