Coffee Talk Reviews
As a visual novel, Coffee Talk relies heavily on its writing, but the characters and the plot are so dull, they offer you no reason to care. Instead of visiting this fictitious coffee shop, find a local one in the real world - you'll have more fun.
Coffee Talk is a brief and relaxing experience into the world of coffee making and getting to know the personal dramas of your clients.

Coffee Talk offers a filling brew of coffee-making simulation, relatable scenarios, and welcoming atmosphere. While it lacks in interactivity, the candidly everyday stories will keep you engaged. So come on into Coffee Talk and experience a fortnight filled with warmth and solidarity.
Coffee Talk really delivers on all fronts, and even offers more game time post-story.
If you enjoy visual novel/adventure titles like this then Coffee Talk is an easy recommend.
If you’re looking to curl up on the couch with a warm drink, Coffee Talk can set the mood and help you pass a few wonderful hours until closing time.
Coffee Talk is best enjoyed like coffee - slowly, in sips, and in no hurry. Playing it day by day, switching the soundtrack appropriately, and reading the conversations carefully will make for a very relaxing experience. In this way, the game becomes a charmingly relaxing affair, where perhaps you'll be happy to forgive the lack of interactivity.

As the games industry continues to grow and evolve it opens the door to some very different modes of play, including those one the more casual end of the spectrum...
Coffee Talk is an absolute gem of a visual novel, with charming characters, entertaining and engaging dialogue, and a beautiful and calming atmosphere that will keep you coming back for a refill.
Coffee Talk is an interesting title, an evocative visual novel with a retro 90s pixel art style. The narrative, though limited, is well handled and succeeds in touching on several themes, including prominent ones. Leaving something to be desired are the not-too-rich gameplay and some characters not deep enough.

All-in-all, Coffee Talk is a soothing and welcomed balm against the fast-paced aggression of a lot of other games. You can take the whole experience at your own leisure, with no pressure to complete side quests, level up or defeat OP bosses. If you like to chill out and lose yourself in a quality, winning narrative, then this is the game for you. (I won’t go spoiling anything, but let’s just say there is more to our friendly resident barista that meets the eye!)
A unique indie game that is both relaxing and refreshing. Just like a real cup of coffee.
All in all, this is one comfortable drink worth ordering. Just don’t expect it to blow your mind if you’re looking for a transcendent experience.
Coffee Talk may remind players of The Red Strings Club or VA-11 HALL-A, and while it certainly looks the part, it’s as different as a cocktail is from a cappuccino. If you understand the absolute joy that comes from sipping your favorite brew in a coffee shop window, listening to lo fi beats as you watch city lights twinkle while rain lightly falls from the heavens, you will immediately understand Coffee Talk. Perhaps it’s an acquired taste; those with refined palates will easily see how perfect Coffee Talk is — not too sweet, not too bitter — but a bold, refreshing experience that leaves players immensely satisfied until the very last drop.
Coffee Talk is a very laid back and well-written game. While I don’t really think it fits its own tagline of a ‘coffee brewing simulator’, it does hit the target on the conversations. It covers some sensitive modern topics in a different way and manages to feel very relatable, despite involving aliens, mermaids and more. While I would’ve liked to see further alternate endings or ways to affect the storyline, it’s a small but pleasant package for a budget price.
Coffee Talk is a visual novel that deals with important topics lightly and manages to make the player feel confessor, friend, confidant of the customers of the bar, despite the fact that they are often absurd characters. The playful part is simple in its structure, it is intuitive, but it is fun and consistent with the calm and calm atmosphere of the conversations. The beautiful designs and the never out of place sound are other factors that make Coffee Talk an experience to read and feel your own.

A refreshing exploration of relationships through the power of caffeine, Coffee Talk certainly walks the walk, and talk the talk.
Overall, there should really be more games like this latest effort from Toge Productions. They’re a reprieve from both the sensory overload of games that dominate big-budget titles and independent games that try to be something larger than they need to be. The stories in Coffee Talk find comfort and more meaning in being personal, and the presentation is executed in ways that only enhance this storytelling.
While I wish some of the subject matters like prejudice, family, and culture could have been tackled with a little more depth, there’s still plenty to enjoy at this little coffee shop, so stop by for a warm beverage on your preferred console.
