Coffee is a delicious drink brewed from roasted coffee beans. Whether it’s espresso shots, black coffee, something simple with milk and sugar, or a fancy mixed drink, coffee is an important part of many people’s daily routine. There are plenty of video games in which coffee appears, sometimes as healing items, sometimes as decoration.
There are other games where not only coffee is central, but players can also brew different recipes themselves. Whether it’s purely about making drinks for people, managing a cafe or talking to customers over a drink, coffee brewing games are a relaxing way to spend a day, especially if you’re playing it with a hot drink in hand.

5 Calico

Players can bake desserts and drinks, learn about villagers and interact with animals.
Animals can be befriended, named, added to a players party, or sent to the cat cafe to rest. When added to the party, the creatures will follow the player and listen to commands. If they are sent to the cafe, they will relax and play with customers. Magic potions allow humans to push the game to its limits, such as making an animal big enough to ride on.
4 Coffee Talk
