Wholesale sauce
I did not receive my wholesale sauce that earned in my cafe club. I should have received w5 of them. Please fix or I’m leaving.
Ridiculous
How many updates in 1 week are you guys going to have bad enough y’all take up too much space in my phone
Terrible update
This newest update is horrible, the icons are huge and just an eyesore. You keep upping the amount of items you need to trade for vouchers in market, it’s just not fun anymore. Daily rewards have also been reduced. Just another greedy company.
Banned
I've played this game on and off for close to ten years now but I just went to download the game again to play it for the first time in a while and my account was banned????
Go back to basics
Too many not user friendly updates- taking away the Celebrity food hint has ruined Celebrities, It will take forever to level up.
Too many side challenges - bubble popping race microphone drop, numerous challenges coming outta the left hand clipboard, etc. Trying to play the basic game is near impossible.
Boosters cost too many cards to use. Drop the amount down to 15-20 to make the game more fun.

Hate the new update
Bring back the old celebrity guessing option. This update does not help us
New Update Sucks
New update removes “Hint” to answer Celebraties’ query “Can you guess what (sic) dish I want right now?”.
I’d rather this challenged be removed than have a blind one out of three chance of choosing the right dish. Hope the reward is at least triple times the former reward.

2.70.3 Update
This review sucks. Why did you take away the way to easily guess the dish for celebrities?? How are we supposed to level up now when we have no way to know what they want? This is ridiculous. I do not recommend.
Money hungry
Game has gotten worse and no fun anymore!
Changes for so called leveling the play
KMA. Take away the celeb hint. The latest in poor choices. It’s a game that is less and less appealing for stress free enjoyment. If you have money to pay to play, it’s a game for you. I started playing when it was on facebook. Now it’s for hardcore gamers only. They seem to think constant take away of perks will make it fair. Fair to who? Not me. Now they have 1 less player.
Unavailable
This game would not let me play. I just barely started this game wouldn’t let me cook anything. Just says unavailable.
Rewards
Developers seem to take my rewards instead of giving them, at first the game was fun, now they have made it to where you can not finish anything on tournaments and on truck challenges most always they keep my final reward while other team members get theirs.
Tutorial glitch
will not let me get through cooking the very first burger before glitching out and not letting me do anything. No help anywhere
The reason I gave you a one star
The reason I gave you one stars because I want to play this game on my main page on Facebook not my backup account this email account doesn’t belong to Donna M. It belongs to Andi Herr.
No longer works
I loved this game and played it all the time on my android phone . Now that I switch to an iPhone, I’m no longer able to play it. Every time I try to open it, it says I need to download the update but there’s no update for the iPhone version. I’ve tried deleting it and reinstalling it multiple times with the same results. It sucks but I guess I have to find another game to play that’s iPhone friendly.
Greedy Developers
This use to be a fun game. Spending real money every now and then, but over the years the developers have turned this into a money trap. The took away anyone who originally had a tip box that never had to be charged, claiming to make it fair to everyone! They slowed down the parties so you need to throw 3 or 4 to complete task. The gummy game now cost $90 cc if you want 5 more moved!! For $90 cc I should get a full count to the games original moves. If you are high level, the celeb task 27 celebs in 2 1/2 hrs cannot mathematically be completed without purchases the celebs back early. They cut back on vouchers if you want to recharge a booster it cost $$. The put a tab for top 100 teams, who cares! Could have used this space for a more relevant idea. We submit suggestions, but rarely see them come to play. It is all about money now. If you don’t care about advancing and just want to play, you can do that without spending real money. Our team has decided not to spend real money until the developers stop being so greedy
Stinky game
Just wants you to spend money for things you need 😡
Cash reward $1.00
The cash reward is not enough and too many ads.
Hard to decorate
I played for years when it was on FB and for a while on mobile. I had forgotten about it but I recently went into my cafe to redecorate. Something that has to be updated is when you want to place tiles, the screen flies immediately to the side and even decorations makes it hard to place anything. I used to play so much but it’s so confusing now with the many other tasks as well, costing more and more. I miss the old days of CL
Has the potential to be a 5 star game. As it stands, it’s just frustrating to play anymore.
I have played cafeland on and off for years, and now I am writing a review.
This game has turned more and more frustrating to play over the years. Gummy match is too hard and you refuse to do anything about it in spite of it being a long running, extremely common complaint on your social media. No one wants to crawl their way to half the prizes. Everyone in my cafe club complains about it. What’s the point of we’re not even having fun?
The tasks are too hard and rewards too little. I’m tired of paying cafeland cash just to finish cooking frenzy tasks. It makes the cash reward at the end much smaller than it really is because I’m just earning back what I paid to finish the series. 👎 same goes for pretty much every other thing that has a cash reward at the end. You have to pay cash to get to the end. That’s not fun.
Further, why am I spending real money for a season pass that gives me the same regurgitated prizes from over the years while gummy match has all the unique, exclusive prizes? This is totally backwards. I should pay for the exclusive items and get the regurgitated prizes from gummy match. Like I honestly don’t have a problem putting money into the game, but this is ridiculous and again, not fun.
When these things are addressed, you will get a five star review from me. But I have a feeling these things won’t change based on how long running these complaints have been across tons of people.

New decorations
Not good
Change decoration and change the food a sandwich should not take 10 hours!

Celebrity
Why can’t I get the hints for the Celebrity like the others do…I’ve updated my game
No customer service
The game is fun, but no customer service what so ever - because of that I give it a 2.
GUMMY MATCH
Please take the gummy match away!
