I don’t usually write reviews but this one deserves it. Espresso Tycoon is a beautifully polished game made by a small indie team that clearly cares about what they’re building. It’s more refined than a lot of the quick cash grab simulators out there (I won’t say which but one involves a card shop and the other involves a supermarket).

You can tell real thought went into the design. The Sims-style cafe customization and furniture layout are genuinely fun and satisfying.

The menu and cafe name customization add a personal touch, and the creativity throughout the game makes it a joy to play. If you enjoy simulation or tycoon games, even as a casual player, this one is worth your time.

I also really appreciate that the developers were transparent about using AI for small elements like the tutorial character icon and voice clips. That doesn’t bother me at all. They’re a small team and needing a bit of extra help isn’t a bad thing. The voices were even tweaked to match the tone of the game, and if they aren’t your thing, you can just turn them off.

They continue to run contests, engage with their players, and roll out meaningful updates. The complaints about AI feel overblown and miss the big picture. This game has heart, and I genuinely hope the team behind it keeps growing and building even more ambitious projects.

To the developers: Great job. You need to hear it. This game was reasonably priced and it exceeded my expectations.

Don't believe the hype.
