- Version 1.2.0s - Auto-Play - 15 December 2025
Hi everyone! I hope you're all enjoying the Winter Festival event!Ever since the game's release, the most common dislike that we've been hearing about has been that the game requires a lot of attention, especially for an idle game. We're trying to address this through this update by adding an Auto-Play feature, which will let Chef Cafe handle things automatically as long as you let the game running!I've done my best to balance things so that the Auto-Play is fairly suboptimal so as to not completely make playing the game manually pointless, while still having it able to build up a satisfying amount of rewards if you want to take your entire focus away from the game for a while.I sincerely hope this will let more of you wonderful people enjoy the game to the fullest! 🍵 🐦Please consider leaving us a review if you enjoy the game, it really helps a ton! 🙏 💖Thank you all again so much, a…
- Version 1.1.1s - Holly Wallpaper hotfix - 13 December 2025
Hi everyone! I hope you're all having a wonderful time!~Today's version is just a little tiny patch, as it was brought to my attention that the newly-added Holly Wallpaper wasn't working properly, and the game would essentially confuse it with the Snow Wallpaper. This issue should now be fixed, and so both of those wallpapers should now work properly!Since the issue was caused by some broken data in the Holly Wallpaper's game files though, the fix I had to make means that anyone who had previously unlocked it will need to unlock it again unfortunately... The Snow Wallpaper should be fine though!I'm very sorry for any inconvenience caused by this, and thank you all so very much for playing our humble little game!~ 💖Have a lovely day everyone! 🐦Emery & Rox

- Version 1.1.0s - Winter Festival - 9 December 2025
The Winter Festival is imminent!

- Version 1.0.6 - Quality of life improvements! - 1 December 2025
Hi! I hope everyone is having a wonderful day!~Here's another little patch as I keep trying to address as much of your wonderful feedback as I can!One of the most requested features since the game has come out was to have a way to pin specific birbs to the top of the list, and I'm happy to say this feature is now available in the game! You can click on the little star icon on your birbs to add them to a separate list of "Favorite friends" which will always appear first in the list!It was also often mentioned that it would be nice if the game showed a specific feedback whenever your cafe ran out of food so that you can easily know when to refill your stock, and this feature has also made it into this patch! There will now be a prominent bubble over Chef Cafe's head to prompt you to purchase a new batch of snacks and drinks!Another very common issue has been for the game view to move out…
- Version 1.0.5s - Claim accumulated rewards! - 15 November 2025
Hi everyone! We've got another small patch for you! Since one of the game's core elements is to level up your birbs to have them stay longer in your cafe, we've decided to make a small change which should help make the game's idling gameplay more satisfying: your birbs now keep eating on their own until they're completely done eating everything! You don't have to claim every meal's rewards for them to order their next meal!This means that the rewards for meals can now accumulate over a single invitation, to be claimed at any time! This change should let you feel more comfortable leaving the game run on its own for longer before coming back to claim your rewards!Thank you all again so much for your support, and have a lovely day!~Emery & Rox
- Version 1.0.4s - Improved handling for multiple screens - 14 November 2025
Hi everyone! I hope you've all had a wonderful week!~ One of the biggest remaining issues in the game since launch has been the handling of multiple screens with different resolutions and/or orientations. I'm really sorry for the trouble this may have caused to some of you! This version finally aims to address all of those issues! To make it as clear as I can, here are the changes that come with this version: When clicking the Change Screen button, the game automatically moves its view back to the default bottom-right position on the new screen. This is to make sure the game remains visible no matter what the screen configurations are. The game's view sizing code has been reworked for vertical screens specifically, in a way that attempts to ensure the game view can fully fit within a vertical screen when the View Size setting is at its largest value. (This means that by default, the gam…
- Version 1.0.3s - Lags/Freezes Hotfix - 13 November 2025
Hello again everyone! I hope you're all having a great time!~ Since the game's launch, a few unlucky players have been experiencing very abnormal lags and freezes when playing the game, and I deeply apologize for that! I can say with good confidence that I have finally figured out the source of the problem, and Version 1.0.3s contains a fix that should finally properly address the problem! Some players have also reported not seeing the recipe and birb tooltips anymore since 1.0.2s, and this issue should now also be fixed in this latest version. Thank you again so much for everyone's warm reception of our game, and for your patience while we figured out these issues! 🙏 If you like the game, please consider leaving us a review! Every single review is a huge help! Thank you so much!! 💖 Emery & Rox
- Version 1.0.2s - 12 November 2025
Hi everyone! I hope you're having a wonderful day!~ I'm so happy that people seem to be enjoying the game so far! But a few issues have been reported and I want to do my absolute best to resolve as many of them as I can so that everyone can have as much fun as possible! There are still some improvements I'm actively working on, and I'm still looking into the reported bugs about the game view going missing for some people, please stay tuned for more updates! Patch notes:New Game Speed option in the game's settings* Optimization in the UI code (to hopefully resolve some of the lags and freezes reported by some players!) It is now possible to directly remove decorations Improved click detection for collecting meal rewards Fixed an issue causing some recipes to be unintentionally unlocked by default Small UI and animation bugfixes *About the new Game Speed settingWhile some people have been…
