Really fun game from a "NPCS" point of view. All day weird adventurers come to your shop and it's your responsibility that they receive the optimal coffee for their quest. Often quite tricky to figure out but always fun and rewarding when you get it right. Especially the CHICKNE! 

Interesting idea, the tutorial is a bit too long but after that making the coffees is kind of satisfying.

You may be interested to know that the tutorial has been greatly overhauled, should be a much more pleasing experience now!
