Pros:
Very easy to play. The different menu items.

Extremely unrealistic. Very boring after a while. Far too simplified - requires no thinking.
Review:

Coffee Tycoon is perhaps one of the worst tycoon games i have ever come across. It is a very kiddish and extremely easy tycoon game. It requires no brains or skill and most of the stuff in the game happens more or less by itself.

You are the owner of a coffee shop company. Few options regarding the style of your coffee shop and the location (city) of your business are available to you. You start by making a few changes to the percentage of baristas, managers and executives you will hire. Then you start the day and watch everything happen automatically. After you've raised some cash, you can add in more items to your menu and buy upgrades ranging from employee benefits to better equipment to better company management.

Throughout the game several events take place which you have almost no control over. Even after you make a few changes, the same events continue to occur without any reason.

The game can almost get on your nerves after sometime. It really isnt a regular tycoon game that gets you thinking or allows you to do some kind of virtual business. Its just a few clicks and perhaps the pleasure of adding items you see at your regular coffee shop to the menu which has you interested at the beginning.

Conclusion:

One the worst tycoon games released to date. Very boring - even a five year old can play it. If you want to play a game like that, do it for free online but dont buy it.
