Espresso Tycoon Reviews

gud cofee

I wish there were more to play. I enjoy playing this game.

Finished this game in 13 hours, but it was so fun, I wish there was more!

I love it!! micromanagement cafe simulator...

Addicting, lots of fun, definitely worth it.

This game is perfect for anyone who wants to run a coffee shop and manage a business. If you enjoy building, you'll love it too because you can create some really cool things. Highly recommended for both management and building fans!

It wasn’t what I expected, and I definitely didn’t enjoy it. The graphics look worse in the game, it stopped working a few times, and there just isn’t much to do.

A fun, addictive, cosy management sim, that slowly unlocks mechanics like: cleaners and selling snacks. I really like designing weird, speciality coffees ( even though I don't drink coffee ). A steal at 60% off. I can tell that I'm going to need a DLC mission pack. The campaign features 10 different missions ( which is probably good for 20 hours or so ). https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3452225737

Espresso Tycoon delivers exactly what you’d expect from a coffee shop management game this is not a sim game that requires intense management and can be played at a steady pace without too much concentration, its a fairly relaxing game. Among business and simulation games, it ranks in the upper tier, offering a fairly solid experience. The game provides a decent level of depth, incorporating key business elements like hiring and training staff, managing stock and supplies, and decorating your café within a budget to enhance its style. One nice feature is the ability to design your own coffee recipes, though these custom drinks are largely influenced by customer demands based on the map you’re playing and the cup sizes and measurements are a bit odd. One minor game negative is the lack of an expansion option for your shop—there's no way to grow beyond your initial space but you can open a toilet lol. Additionally, there are no rival businesses, meaning the main challenge comes from managing your bank balance and completing objectives to progress to the next level. In terms of difficulty, the early campaign missions are quite easy, with a tutorial guiding you through the basics. As you advance, the challenge steadily increases, unlocking new mechanics and features along the way. While it doesn’t revolutionize the sim/management genre, there’s enough content here to provide around 20-30 hours of gameplay maybe more if you like the sandbox mode. The developers are highly active, frequently releasing updates and news. As of now, this is arguably the best coffee shop management game available on Steam. Its a shame it does not have steam workshop integration so all content is developer original and paid for. I played the demo a few times then bought Espresso Tycoon on sale. Visually, the game looks good and runs smoothly, with no noticeable technical issues, lag, or stuttering. The audio could use some improvement—the soundtrack is quite limited, and as others have noted, AI-generated voices and sound clips are obviously used, I don't mind but others don't like this hence the mixed reviews recently. Overall, if you enjoy management sims and the idea of running a virtual café, Espresso Tycoon is worth checking out!
