Game overview

Time Travel Caffe is a café sim with an unusually deep pantry: close to eighty ingredients feed a menu of nine food and drink types, from coffee and flower tea to ice cream, cakes, salads and sandwiches. You seat arriving customers, take their orders, cook to order using the kitchen tools, then clear the tables once they leave. Coins from service unlock further recipes, and there is no timer forcing the pace.

This title is best suited to younger players who want a relaxed café cooking sim.
