Coffee Shop Tycoon News

v1.1 is out now!

Hello everyone! We hope the beginning of 2023 is turning out nicely for you. Here at Riff Studios, we have been working on two new updates for Coffee Shop Tycoon! With v1.1, we are addressing some of the top concerns and bugs you have encountered during your game play-through. We have been monitoring the forums and noticed some recurrent problems we wanted to fix.

Here is a list of the changes we are making:
  • Customers now complain about specific missing services. The "wifi" icon is no longer used as the "services" icon for customer thoughts. This will clear some confusion about the customers' expectations.

  • Adjustments to fix the problem of price volatility, old products now have a lower impact on price.
  • The objective for the teen demographic mission in Akihabara doesn't show a percentage anymore; instead, it will only show a checkbox. This percentage was confusing because it showed the percentage towards the goal of achieving 70% teen demographic rather than showing the "teen market percentage."
  • Fixed some crashes


Additionally, we also updated the Mac version as it was missing these two critical fixes from v1.0.1
  • Fixed a problem where the moon remained locked in early access saves even after completing the "Emerald City" missions.
  • Fixed a bug where the "Best Roast of the year" award wasn't not updating correctly.


We also wanted to share some news about the next content update! We hope that by now, you have been able to visit the moon and expand your coffee empire to the stars. If you have done so, you might notice that you don't have many sci-fi-looking items in your store, and we want to fix that!

For the next update, we will be releasing new furniture and decoration for your store, including a circular working station that will make all your customers question the origin of the universe. Here are some early renders of the new models. We are still working on finishing the list and texturing them.



Thanks again for playing Coffee Shop Tycoon. We are looking forward to sharing more exciting renders with you. Until then, we hope you have a great week and enjoy your coffee.

Full release update out now!

Happy Monday, dear coffee lovers:

It looks like a good day to share with you a little surprise, don't you think?

It's our pleasure to announce that Coffee Shop Tycoon has officially become a complete game after six years of Early Access stage. Its full-release update is now live on Steam! This version features the Moon as the last unlockable location, a complete rework of the Du Latte Awards, several quality-of-life modifications, and the game credits. However, this is not a goodbye at all -- next month, we'll be sharing the last patch to include 10 sci-fi-themed items and the new employee models.

Here's a list of the most important changes that players will enjoy in the Full Release update:

[h3]The moon![/h3]
Added the final location of the game, now you can take your magnificent roasted beans out of this world and start delighting more customers in our solar system.



[h3]Rehauled Awards[/h3]
The Du Latte awards have been completely recreated, from the looks to the functionality. Now you can participate in six awards categories:
  • Barista of the year
  • Cashier of the year
  • Roaster of the year
  • Fan-tastic coffee award
  • Best roast of the year
  • Most sold unique drinks

Every year will have two random awards that you can try to earn. Winning awards will give you money and a unique trophy you can showcase in your stores! Du Latte awards now happen every 12 months regardless of store location, so you can switch between different stores and still participate in the same categories. "Best roast of the year", and the "Most sold unique drinks" awards will become available when the respective features are unlocked in the story.



[h3]Quality of life improvements[/h3]
  • New animations
  • Roasting
  • Condiment table
  • Walking
  • Du Latte Awards
  • Pedestrians will now spawn in some locations
  • Improved placing items in your store
  • Added a new confirmation dialog when changing the resolution
  • Adding full support to Chinese language
  • Seasonal decorations in the Start Screen now change automatically
  • Graphical improvements to some locations
  • Some changes to stats and balancing
  • Added a new achievement




[h3]Bug fixes[/h3]
  • Fixed a problem where bankruptcy was not using the new price changes
  • Fixed roasting challenges that were impossible due to "Roasting skill"


One last piece of news: Unfortunately, due to a recent policy change by Valve, we won't be launching with a discount, but you can expect a 30% discount during Winter Sale! If you love the concept of the game and you want to help keep the lights on and allow us to work on more exciting games for you, go ahead and grab a copy, add us to your wishlist, or send it as a gift to your friends who always loved management games.

Thank you for reading this far, and enjoy your coffee.
