I pride myself on playing games well. Maybe a little too much, but if I play, I do my best. And while I try to cook most of the new dishes, I have standards that go above even my strategic nature. I don’t care how nice they are, how many Cafe Points they give, or how much money they make me, I will never serve Hot Dogs at the Crossroads Café. We’re a class joint. Only the best for my imaginary customers. So the fish and chips, and the fried eggs went untried.
These days I make 8 different dishes, and that’s it. These dishes are chosen to make my restaurant look good and get the best value in Cafe Points and Cafe Coins. I also try to do silly things like make sure I have a vegetarian dish, a kosher dish, and we can’t leave out deserts, because I have to have a little reality in my fantasy, and that’s how my café would be.

Some Changes Come Easier than Others
Make it so?
You know Gentle-Reader, I don’t consider myself a complainer. This game we play, even though I buy Café Cash every now and then, is pretty much free. In fact, most of the players I know, don’t buy Café Cash. So when I read the forums and people are all bent out of shape because they have to make too many clicks, or the cookbook is too slow, I just shake my head. If you think you can develop and have hosted a game for 5 million players better than they do, then you have my admiration. And I can’t wait to play your game. So for the most part, the majority of the complaints about the game just seem to me to be whiney. But… this time I’m painting picket signs and organizing!
I’m embarrassed to be so far behind
It is with a red face that I’m writing to you this day. There is so much going on in Café World, that every time I start to write to you about it, they change it even more. Every time I start to write about the problems, they either fix them or develop new ones! Everybody’s trying to keep up, there are so many new dishes that Laughdonor’s probably had a nervous breakdown by now. But today let’s do our best catch up; you and I.
Cafe World Forum
For those of you who are on my mailing list and overlooked my email or for those of you who are here for the first time, I want to let you know about Cafe World Forum.
I wanted to create the Cafe World Forum right at the beginning of this website, but then it turned out it wasn’t my priority by that time. I needed to accomplish other things. About a week ago I decided to let you all decide whether you would like to have forum where you could hang out or not. It seems it was a good idea and I thank again to those who decided to participate, do something and let me know.
Cafe World Forum – yes or not?
When I was designing this website, I wanted to make it big. I wanted to make it a place where we all can hang out, share ideas, our routines and learn from each other. A place, where we could together progress faster.
Installing a forum was sure thing for me, but then I got stuck with other things not related to Cafe World, so I totally forgot about installing a forum. Now, a couple of months later, I’d like to give you an opportunity to decide whether you’d like to have here a forum or not. Because frankly, you’d be the ones who would be using it.

Cafe World Dish: VIP Dinner
Zynga’s latest gift in Café World is a 2 day special called the V.I.P. Dinner. It costs nothing to make, gives very few CP’s but does, after 18 hours give you 99 servings of dinner that sell for 99 coins each! My daughter got in early on this one, and her café is featured below.
Does it replace the great money-makers of Holiday Ham and Gingerbread houses? Time will tell, but I already miss my holiday favorites that all my neighbors have been so generously giving me for the last month. By the way, when sharing this dish, it does not give out the normal 100 dishes, but rather 25. (You only make 2,475 coins every time your neighbor shares.)
LaughDonor`s Spreadsheet Is Down
Thanks to those who have notified me about not working links to LaughDonor`s Spreadsheet. I`ve spent some time figuring out why the links are broken.
What I found was that because LaughDonor has made the spreadsheet so powerful and comprehensive, that he has reached the maximum of formulas which are allowed by Google Docs.
Therefore he has decided to take the spreadsheet down. Here is his explanation:
Cafe World Hit 30M users on Thursday!
Eventhough Cafe World is still a beta version, which means it`s not a final release, it hasn`t stopped 30 million of users to have their own cafe running.
It`s amazing to see how many users are now playing Cafe World. As I was browsing on the internet, I`ve stumbled upon an interesting chart which shows an evolution of users included in Cafe World. Check out the chart:
