The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating that ads are not intrusive and can be opted into for rewards. However, numerous users have reported issues with ads crashing the game, bugs affecting gameplay after watching ads, and a feeling that watching ads is often necessary to progress, which can be frustrating. Overall, while the game is praised for its cute design and enjoyable mechanics, the ad experience is marred by technical problems and a perception of being overly reliant on ad views for advancement.
“So this game is super cute, casual, and offline if you don't mind getting no ads, which is pretty nice.”
“It is an offline game and it has absolutely no advertisements unless you click on watch ads to get something!”
“No ads that will interrupt your activity while playing it.”
“However, there are goals that include watching ads, and they run out pretty quickly. Playing the games to get ingredients feels tedious as you only have a few turns and can't watch an ad for more unless it decides to pop up, so you just have to wait.”
“It's a shame that I have to give this game a 1-star review, but I have to. The game was playing just fine until I clicked the sign to unlock the garden, then the game crashed. Now it keeps crashing every time I tap the title screen, even though I've cleared the cache and forced stopped the app. I did an in-app purchase, and now my money is gone, which I'm not happy about since I can't use what I purchased in-game.”
“The tutorial questline has multiple checkpoints where you need to watch ads to progress at all, and many of the events that pop up randomly to give you a reward don't even tell you they're going to run an ad before clicking on it.”

“It'd be great if that could be fixed as it takes from the gameplay and aesthetic of it all.”

The gameplay is generally described as cute and low-energy, with simple mechanics that are engaging yet can become repetitive, particularly due to excessive clicking required for certain actions. While many players appreciate the aesthetic graphics and find the game enjoyable, there are calls for improvements, such as reducing the number of clicks needed for tasks and adding more interactive elements. Overall, the game is seen as charming but could benefit from enhancements to maintain player interest.
“It's a very cute game with aesthetic graphics and chill gameplay.”
“I love the adorable art style along with the simple gameplay.”
“However, I find the graphics adorable and the gameplay low energy enough that I don't really have to think, but engaging enough to keep me entertained.”
“I tried to open it again 30 something times, and each time before I could actually get into the gameplay, it crashed again.”
“There are some gameplay mechanics I would change if I were to keep playing: it shouldn't take 8 clicks for 1 customer to come, it's too much and honestly made me bored and not want to keep mindless clicking on the same button for the game to function.”
“Looks very cute but the gameplay is a bit boring and I thought the puzzle would be the primary game.”

The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with frequent glitches, crashes, and freezing issues reported, particularly after reaching certain levels or adding expansions. Many players experience problems with ads not providing rewards, blank customer lists, and overall game functionality being compromised.

“However, it's only getting four stars as the game constantly glitches and crashes when it reaches the point where you have all the expansions in your bakery.”
“Very buggy, the game freezes sometimes and crashes frequently. Characters eventually don't show up in the customer list, tips don't accumulate at all, and sometimes when you try to get ingredients, the screen freezes in place and you can't scroll to go to the bakery section of the game.”
“Game is broken... it freezes and glitches, making it unbearable to play.”

The game's story is largely absent, with players noting a lack of engaging narrative or progression beyond completing quests and unlocking a few recipes and furniture items. While the gameplay is described as easy and fun, many users express frustration over the limited content and reliance on watching ads to advance, which can lead to technical issues. Overall, the game is seen as cute but lacking depth in its storytelling and progression mechanics.
“It's honestly a good game and I would give it 5 stars but when the mission to watch ads comes and you do so and finish it, the game loses sound and goes blank.”
“I don't like that watching ads is something you have to do to proceed, but other than that it's a cute game :) Reminds me of Boba Story; if you like this, you'll probably like that one too.”
“What can I say? I mean cute characters, easy mechanics, cheap prices, and easy quests. I just wish you could buy ingredients because the game doesn't provide much chocolate. Also, add breakfast bagels maybe?”
“Like, there's no story; upgrading customers does not give you anything more than a small bonus. Advancing in the game doesn't add anything either. Once the 'guide' is completed, that's it. There's nothing else but 4-5 recipes yet to unlock and a couple of pieces of furniture, but why do that when it's useless?”
“It's honestly a good game and I would give it 5 stars, but when the mission to watch ads comes and you do so and finish it, the game loses sound and goes blank.”

“It's a cute game and I'd like to play more, but it doesn't let me play the mini games to collect ingredients.”

Players find the grinding aspect tedious, as it often requires waiting for ad opportunities to replenish turns, leading to a frustrating experience when trying to achieve goals.
“The goals that require watching ads run out quickly, and playing the game to gather ingredients feels tedious since you only have a few turns. You can't watch an ad for more unless it randomly appears, leaving you waiting.”
“Grinding for resources becomes a chore, as the limited turns and the unpredictable ad availability make progress frustratingly slow.”
“The repetitive nature of grinding in this game makes it feel more like a job than a fun experience, with little reward for the time invested.”
