Good Coffee, Great Coffee Mobile Video Game
Good Coffee, Great Coffee is a cooking simulation game released in 2025 by TapBlaze. You are the newest barista in Coffee City and your goal is to become the best in town. If you become skilled enough, you just might beat your rival baristas in the trial held by the World Coffee Association.
Start out making simple recipes like espresso or americano and work your way up to more complicated brews like lattes. A local expert barista will even train you to make cute latte art that makes your drinks even more enticing.
Things get especially tricky when you learn recipes for specialty drinks like the Neapolitan which is essentially the boss battle of brewing. These more advanced but delectable drinks consist of several ingredients and require a tedious process.

Ingredients, Upgrades, and Equipment
Level up and progress through the game to unlock new ingredients like whipped cream and strawberries. This expands your menu and some ingredients progress the story.
There are a handful of upgrades that make running your café as smooth as a well-made cappuccino. Although upgrades aren’t cheap, the profit increase is worth it. Spend your hard-earned in-game cash to hire a mascot and extend shop hours so you can serve more customers. Or extend customer wait time so you have more time to provide excellent customer service. Finally, use the cup guide to quickly and accurately measure drinks.
Make sure to upgrade your equipment to make the best brews possible. So far, there are three upgrade options for the grinder and coffee machine. You can purchase upgrades with in-game cash or gems bought in the shop. Each machine upgrade improves accuracy, speed, steam control, steam power, and stability. Also, make sure to repair your equipment because a damaged machine will not work properly and slow you down.

Decorations
What is the best part of running your very own café? Decorating, of course! Customize everything from the storefront frame to the floors and everything in between. Add cute lighting, curtains, seating, plants, wallpaper, and more to create the ideal atmosphere.
Most decorations are available for in-game cash although some require gems purchased from the store. I received the Deluxe Register and Deluxe Tip Jar for pre-registering and I love the vintage vibes.

Our Adventure Ends Here
TapBlaze certainly has a knack for making cozy cooking games and Good Coffee, Great Coffee is no exception. The cool jazz soundtrack, adorable stylized graphics, and casual gameplay are all ingredients for a pretty tasty recipe. It has all the charm and wholesome humor of Good Pizza, Great, Pizza just with a java theme. My favorite part of these games is working toward upgrades and decorations to create my peaceful place.
These games are great for casual gamers looking for a new cozy experience. The gameplay is simple but can occasionally be challenging. I especially recommend Good Coffee, Great Coffee for fans of cooking simulators or anyone who loves a good latte, like me.
