About this game
Behind the counter of a nighttime café, listen to the concerns of Seattle residents from both human and fantasy communities. Use the ingredients available in your shop to prepare their warm drinks. What you serve influences story branches, making drink preparation your way of affecting the conversations' wider outcomes. Milk-based drinks also let you draw latte art. Pixel visuals inspired by 1990s anime and a selection of jazzy, lo-fi music accompany the customers' stories.
Collected in series
Coffee Talk is a series of café stories where preparing a drink gives people room to talk. Humans and fantasy beings bring work, relationships and everyday worries to the counter, with brewing and listening setting the pace.

AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
For readers who enjoy listening and influencing a story through small acts of service.
Preparing drinks gives listening a practical role: service determines narrative branches. That indirect influence may appeal to players who like discovering people through conversation. Latte art provides a separate expressive activity alongside the customers' stories.
Strengths
- Serving drinks as the branching mechanism can make routine café work feel relevant to the narrative.
- Latte art may suit players who enjoy adding a personal visual touch to an order.
Weaknesses
- Players who prefer steering conversations through explicit dialogue options may find the service-based influence less direct.
Who it is for: Readers interested in character conversations, drink preparation, and a fantasy setting built around everyday concerns.
Play notes: Story branches are tied to how customers are served, rather than to selecting dialogue responses.
