Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.86/day in the week to Sep 1 → 1.57/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

I had played Coffee Talk and Best Served Cold before so this type of game is like my alley. I thought it would be a cute small guy that I could finished in like 8-9 hours. However as the game progress I realize that I stumble in something bigger with overarching arc that I didn't expected. It's fun, obviously the dialogue might not be everyone cup of tea but it's addicting with the feeling that you want to do one more day. A lot of characters are charming and with stellar voice acting cast also help. There are some flaws, while it's cozy for making donut but sometimes they penalize you for miss a line. Can't save in middle of the day could be annoying as sometimes. I wish they also add the way to pin your recipe since I end up have to recheck it every times. (AND YOU CAN'T ROMANCE EVERYONE, THAT IS THE BIGGEST CRIME) But do I enjoy the game? I would lying if I say no and I already spent more than 30 hours and I feel like I am not really done with this game.
I bought this game just because I saw it randomly, played the demo, and liked it well enough. Now that I've been REALLY playing through it (I'm on day 80 as of writing), I think it's absolutely worth the money! There's really no such thing as a background character in this game- they all get treated with just about the same amount of nuance and I was extremely pleasantly surprised to see that! The developers got me to be genuinely invested in Stoner Guy getting his life together, and they even got me to care about Redditor Guy. Every single character starts as some trope, but you get to see them be exposed for the multi-faceted people they are. My only real gripe is how repetitive the gameplay can get, and the amount of time that passed between when I could unlock/buy new ingredients. After I bought the ones that were available at the beginning, I didn't realize I should've saved my money which kind of sucked later. However, the gameplay doesn't matter to me NEARLY as much as the character quality, so I think it's a pretty minor issue.

I'm so glad that Steam recommended this game to me because after playing the demo I had to buy it. I'm a sucker for fun characters with deep history (plus they're all fully voice acted). I haven't played much of it yet but I can feel the gameplay loop digging into me in that way that keeps pulling me back. I'm sure I'll fall down a rabbit hole with this game until I've completed it in all ways possible. I truly hope more people get their eyes on this one because it's worth it.
Game is great and all not gonna lie interesting. Only thing i didn’t like I only get to serve 3x a day lol and takes long for me to talk to specific character that i need. And too long dialogues for characters that arent that important. I got bored talking with people that are irrelevant and in almost day 100 because i only get 3x customers a day so i’d like to skip some characters. Oh and yeah when i get to the drizzle/glaze part the mouse would lag at some points like it would just literally stop then just suddenly teleports to one part where im making the donut.
The gameplay can get a bit repetitive after a bit, and the piping bag can be frustrating to use, but the story is phenomenal.
Simple but really fun gameplay, you know what to expect there, but super funny too. Really lives up to the comedy of the demo so far. Will update more whenever I finish :)
So far everithing about this games makes me wannna play it more! All the lore on the characters and exes is so interesting, specially the exes since everything is so hard to talk about and awknowledge in a "mature" way and a way that gives closure. Another thingI love about this game is the whole "They will remember this" mechanic based on what options you choose, making their interactions with you and other characters change depending on your choices is such an interesting and cool mechanic. The only "downside" (which is not really one but ive seen a lot of people comment on it and it does bother me sometimes) is how tedious making the donuts can be. Don't get me wrong, I love making silly designs when they give you the liberty to, but sometimes when I'm trying to get a specific interactionI'll have to wait like 10 days before the character appears and I can only make donuts. But hey, I mean, that's the whole point of the game lol 10/10, would recommend it if youre looking for a silly yet interesting dating sim
It's been sad plenty, but to show continued interest - the game needs more male romance options. That being said, I loved the game and have thoroughly enjoyed simping for the vanilla prince, Connor. I would love additional content!!
There's so much to say that I don't know if I could even do this game justice! I first fell in love with the art style and character designs when I first discovered this gem. I decided to back the Kickstarter, and had the honor to help beta test as well. I'll say, it was ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT! The story, the writing, music (cast wait for the OST CD!) the humour, the cast of characters! I genuinely love them all. This game made me feel warm and nostalgic, and I connected with pretty much everyone in a different way. I even teared up or cried during some of the events, the writing is beautiful,complimented further by the phenomenal voice acting. My top favourite love interest is Connor, with Lucy, Harry and MJ not far behind but I tell for everyone in the end. Thank you, Yangyang Mobile team, the talented voice cast, and everyone else who helped make this game truly shine. You have made a beautiful and heartwarming experience♡♡♡
优点：1、画风很好，高饱和欧美漫画风，人物哪怕是npc都很好看，而且很有个人特色，很多npc都非常可爱，有好几个心动对象可惜不可攻略。 2、说真的在欧美系（菲律宾）外国文字类型游戏里面这算是文笔比较细腻的（虽然画风看起来大家都像心无城府傻乐的样子），但是内部心理描写环境描写挺多的，一看工作室原来是老文游工作室了，这就不奇怪了,jpg 3、不得不提的是甜甜圈看上去蛮好吃的，特别是各种酱料，如果真开了这么一家店那我肯定会把草莓和抹茶味道的吃完然后告诉顾客私密马赛老板跑路了没有这个口味了亲亲。 缺点：1、我是混乱杂食，完全是制作组跟踪我三年制作出来了mc派。所以面对可攻略对象里面有[spoiler] “正在和现任谈恋爱好像感情也还不错的妈宝好朋友”，“大学前任”“我的高中前任”“我的初恋前任”“我的青梅竹马前任”这种顶级修罗场 [/spoiler]都是微微一笑掏出存档，但是这[spoiler] 前任也太多了吧 [/spoiler]，要是玩的消消乐都能三消一排了。谢邀人在机场刚分手。 2、虽然有店铺经营类玩法，但是非常重复，没什么新品，全是各种酱料各种口味，没有模拟经营类游戏的经营店铺好玩，钱还非常难赚，赚了钱也没有什么爽点，像是多了个间章，比较无聊。 3、存档位很多但是存档不能实时，每天结束才可以，有时候你想玩别的选项或者做错口味想重做得从头开始玩开始做，你甜甜圈给我拿好的呀！
