So, this game is very fun for the brief set of campaign missions that it has and is definitely worth buying on sale, say for half off. I had a blast with it and literally played like 9 hours in a row when I first booted it up.
The problem with it comes when you are done with the campaign missions. I went to play a sandbox mission with a lofty financial goal, and there I found the game's fatal imbalance: over longer periods of time, your staff will continue to ask for more and more and more money the longer they've been there, to the point that you won't be able to afford them because customers will only pay so much for their coffees to cover the cost of salaries. So all these employees that you've spent money training are suddenly unaffordable, which really sucks. It's not really realistic to expect that someone doing the same job with the same amount of training would continue to demand hundreds of dollars more per day as time goes on or else be unhappy with their salary, but that's the way it's implemented. So you'd have to fire them and start with untrained newbies to stay afloat, which really blows.
If they'd made their employees less greedy about salaries as time went on (holding their training level constant, that is), the game's balance would be perfect. But in sandbox games that becomes a problem.
Still, I had a great time with it for the time that I did.

love it so far, especially the custom drinks, latte art, and aesthetic. The other coffee sims are cute but didn't land like this one.

It's a really fun game, although I wished they had more food items in the Coffee Editor, otherwise 10/10

(This is my own individual mistake for not reading all the way down in the game description)
I didn't know they use AI generated art and voice over for this game and will forever hate myself for giving money. I watched this game being played by Josh and thought it's a cute tycoon game. He didn't play the campaign and went straight to sandbox because that was his channel's niche.
Until everyone whose training data was stolen by this tool are compensated, there's no ethically good Ai generated content
