A coffee shop game where you are the guest
Most coffee shop games online make you the owner: serve customers, earn money, upgrade the shop. Midnight Cafe is a coffee shop game of the other kind. You walk in as a guest, sit down and talk to the people there.

| Where | Browser, app or console | Desktop browser |
If you want to run a shop, this is not the game for you, and the management kind is better. If you want a cafe to sit in, keep reading.
What there is to do
Walk in, pick a seat and say hello. Type in the bar at the bottom; your line appears above your head for everyone in the room. A barista bot at the counter answers when you write @ and its name, and you can have it bring you a coffee.
You can also make a cafe of your own: create a room, then furnish it with a counter, stools, sofas, lamps and a record player. You pay for furniture with beans, which you earn by playing. No real money is involved.
Good to know
- It is free, with no download. Guests can play without an account.
- It is new and small, so a room may be quiet.
- Chat is text only. The game runs on a desktop or laptop.
