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.
So now it’s in your hands. Give me your opinion.
Also I’d appreciate if you write a comment about why you want/don’t want the forum. Especially if you want the forum, let me know what topics would you like to discuss in the forum, so I can design it according to your ideas.

I’d like to discuss everything related to Café World in the forum – from the new gifts that come around to what actually avatars are in Café World (I still don’t know what avatars refer to, btw).. from the silliest doubts to the most complex statistics to gain maximum profit. And of course, it’d be nice to know how and when people allot time for this app, like how many minutes or hours a day on average.

I so agree with Wiz. I do wonder about so many things on this game and would love a place to go for information. I want to know the CP points for all the different foods, How to level up fastest, What items are the best value and just everything about the game. Thanks for forum!

Hey Sharei,
the best place for knowing what, when and for how much to cook is LaughDonor’s Spreadsheet. I created a small manual on how to use the comprehensive spreadsheet. The article is called Cafe World Menu Mastery with LaughDonor`s Spreadhseet.
The forum could be really good place to hang out, share information and talk together about things that come up. But it’s up to you, the chefs.
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: How To Access It?
Cafe World Forum
It’s been a couple of days the Cafe World Forum is online and ready for you to flood it with your questions, answers, strategies, tricks, gossip etc. You can access the forum by clicking on the Forum button at the top of this website (see the screenshot on the right) or you can access Cafe World Forum just by typing its web address, which is:
I invite you all to start participating on the forum, because if you all wait for others to start having conversations there, it will be without a life forever. You need to participate in order to start the conversations rolling.
I’m sure you have plenty of questions, so don’t be shy and post the questions on the forum.
At this point I know the forum might not be perfect. That’s exactly why I have created a section with Suggestions and Ideas, where you can let me know what kind of thing you’d like to change, add or remove in order to have a better experience with Cafe World Forum.
Having said that, find out more about Cafe World Forum now, you’ll love it.
Wondered how long does it take before your cooked dish gets spoiled? Because the time is not same for all dishes, it`s hard to figure out, if you don`t want to spend your time and money.
When I started playing Cafe World, I had no idea how it works. So I cooked a dish as the tutorial guided me and then logged out. When I logged in to my cafe, I saw flies all around my cafe, rotten meals on my stoves and of course no customer in my cafe. My dishes get spoiled. Sound familiar? :)
I was wondering how long does it take for each dish, so I could know how long I have. And thanks to the internet I`ve finally found what I needed to know. Now my soul can rest. And if you`ve been wondering as well, your soul can rest with mine.
Cafe World Spoil Time
So, the idea is that you want to know how much time you have before the dish gets spoiled. That means cooking time plus how long can be the dish on a stove before it gets disgusting.
Open up the LaughDonor`s Spreadsheet and concentrate on the column called Spoil. Look at the random dishes and compare the cook times with spoil times:
Bacon Cheeseburger – 5 mins vs. 6 mins
Chips & Guacamole – 3 mins vs. 3:36 mins
Pumpkin Pie – 12 mins vs. 14:24 mins
Tony`s Classic Pizza – 5 mins vs. 6 mins
….
You don`t have to be Einstein to figure out that the formula for spoil time is
Spoil time = (cook time) * 1.2
Now you know how spoil time in Cafe World works, so plan your Cafe World menu accordingly and start making some money!
P.S.: If you want to move your cafe to the next level, I recommend you one of the Cafe World Guides.
For a long time I`d been totally unkissed by Facebook games. In fact, I hated them. But then, by a chance, I discovered Cafe World. What made me to change my mind and start to play this Facebook game Cafe World?
The simple attack on my build senses which I`ve been using many years ago, back in the time when Transport Tycoon was a king. I used to spend many hours in front of my computer building up my train and aircraft empire. For a while I tought those senses are hidden inside of me and waiting for another catchy game. Well, Cafe World on Facebook has woken them up.
Let`s start with what Zynga, the owner, says about their game:
Choose from dozens of dishes to cook, then slice, chop, saute and bake your way to the top of the culinary world!
What? That`s it? In Cafe World you just make dozens of dishes? Well, that doesn`t sound like a fun. Says anyone who hasn`t tried how fun and addictive (unfortunately) Cafe World is.
So, the idea is that you are a chef in your restaurant. You start with 3 stoves, 3 counters and 1 waiter. And you can choose what you want to cook – bacon cheeseburger, onion soup, fruit salad, cheesecake, … By cooking you are gaining cook points, which are responsible for achieving a certain levels of your cafe. Everytime you hit a particular amount of cook points, you get a level up and other stuff is unlocked for you – more stoves, more counters, more employees, more food, another decoration/equipment, …
Cafe World, addictive Facebook game
It`s almost ridiculous, but in the simplicity really is the power. The more you cook, the more customers are coming, the more money you have, the better decoration/equipment you can buy and that is really rewarding. It`s a great feeling when your business is rolling and your cafe is growing.
After a couple of minutes everything is clear and you start making your first dishes. Then you hire your friend from Facebook. Then you buy more tables. Then there is another level up and you can cook more things. So you cook, more people are coming in, another level up, then you reorganize your cafe in order fit there more customers.
Hours are passing by and although you haven`t eaten, you don`t feel like you should eat or drink something. The virtual business of Cafe World is more important, right?
It seems like the higher level you have, the more addictive it becomes. Cafe World is a social game, which can be seen at achieving higher levels, where you also need to have some friends added and also you need to visit their cafes (that`s the way why Cafe World goes so viral and has more than 25 milions of users).
Cafe World, instructive Facebook game
Cafe World is a brilliant tool for you to get an idea how running a cafe looks like. I know, it`s not a simulator of a real situation, but it can give you a rough idea. I mean – who wouldn`t want to have their own cafe/restaurant, right? By playing Cafe World you are in the position where you wanted to be. It`s you who is responsible for hiring people, making the decisions about equipment to the kitchen, decorating and organizing the whole cafe.
It`s fun, no doubt. But don`t forget there is the real world, where you actually live.

Hey Wiz,
good comment. Having a section for gifts is a good idea. And the time spent as well!

I love the idea of the spreadsheet but, as a novice, I could not figure out how to open it. It said I needed a password as it was protected.

Hey Sharei,
are you sure you’re using the right link for the Laughdonor’s spreadsheet? I tried it now again and it works ok.
If you’re still experiencing some problems, take a screenshot and send it to me, I’ll have a look on it.
If you’re talking about Cafe World Forum, then yes, you need to register in order to be able to participate on the forum.
