i love kofi

That's the amazing cozy and profound game with brilliant characters. I'd really can recommend it to everyone who's trying to calm down and find some inner peace. :3

10/10 coffeeeeee <3
The story was super fun and the artstyle really gave the game this "cozy" look. The ambience mixed with the lofi soundtrack were a cherry on top !
Go play it, it's adorable (and you get to have fun with making goofy latte art).

A lovely, warm game. Long enough to tell the stories of all the unique characters but short enough to avoid growing bored and instead leave you wanting for more. To compare to other games, It's a cozy coffee version of VA-11 HALL-A including great lo-fi music. Something in the art animation is reminiscent of Phoenix Wright as well, a style I wish more games had.

I loved the different pixel art style in the tomodachill and enjoyed all the character stories including the player's own. I'm also glad they added a Free/Endless Challenge mode to just enjoy making drinks.

The game leaves me feeling warm and cozy, also a little thirsty for all the tasty looking drinks. The art is beautifully executed and the atmosphere is just lovely. I'll definitely be playing the sequel.

I really wanted to like this game, but I felt solidly neutral about it. I've played Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood and VA-11 Hall-A, and really wanted to like this game too. The dialogue didn't really feel believable, and the story arcs were a bit shallow. For example, Rachel's arc was just "I'm an adult I can make my own decisions, ♥♥♥♥ you dad", her dad saying that he was doing this out of concern for her because she didn't know better, and surely enough she turns out to have made poor decisions, her dad protects her and they reconcile. I also felt Lua and Baileys arc similarly made very little progress, they just rehashed the same points of family vs love and ultimately ended up back to square one. All the stories wrapped up in a predictable, happy way. And the whole thing with Neil and at the end revealing you're a time traveler and even revisiting some past days to see some different dialogue felt like it added nothing story wise.

The music was nice, even if the changes were very jarring and didn't feel specific to the particular situation. But maybe that's supposed to emulate how music in a real cafe works.

Another nitpick I had was the English localization felt unpolished. There were notable typos and awkward grammatical structures that made it very obvious that it was first written in another language. That's fine, but in a game where the whole point is to feel like you're talking to real people and getting to know their stories, this is a bit immersion breaking.

But it was very calming and I enjoyed the positive vibes. If you're looking for that, this is a great game. If you're looking for a complex story/world or good gameplay, maybe look elsewhere. I got it for like $5 and am a very fast reader, but honestly not sure if I would be happy spending any more money or time on this game.

Couldn't get into it. Characters and story were underwhelming, but the art is beautiful.

This made me want to find similar coffee shops that exist in my country right now. Also fueled my desire to make the drinks that are featured in the recipe book, lots of them taste really good in real life. Highly recommend if you enjoy playing a chill, visual-novel kind of game.

NOTE: Paragraph below contains spoilers to the game.

Not gonna lie, my jaw was dropping the entire time I was trying to unlock the secret ending. It was tedious, but it was so worth it as it added more lore to the MC, aka us. It's a very interesting concept to me as I have not played a lot of games that talks about the backstory of the MC. Can't wait to play Episode 2 soon.

One of the prettiest, sweetest, chillest games I've ever played. Every second was an absolute treat. I love games that take a new spin on things and respect the intelligence of the player, and this does both. I see that there's an episode 2, and I can't wait to play it.

Coffee Talk was the start of my visual novel addiction. It's a great, cozy experience with occasional added mini-games for coffee making.
