My hosting service is working to plug the hole and I will keep a close eye on the site until all is secure.
My apologies for any problems this may have caused and my thanks to Google Search Quality Team for quickly alerting me to the problem.
This is Not an Official Café World Site
I am just another Café World player, I am Not a member of the development team and have no contact with them or any of the game moderators. Suggestions for adding to or enhancing the game should be posted in the forum at this forum Suggestions
The Café World Menu page has the data on the dishes available to prepare, the Café World Facts page has the data on the levels, items you can add to your cafe, and the expansions. The Game Resources page has links to the spreadsheets based on the game I have found so far and the forum links for more information on the game. The Café World Level Calculators will calculate how many points you need to reach the next level or a goal level higher the next level up.
I kept notes when I started the game and developed my strategy for playing this is on the My Strategy page it you are interested in how I began playing the game and how things developed during my first week.
What's New
Lucky Charms are now available for 8 Café Cash, they contain limited edition animal decorations and you receive 80 points for each purchase. There are 12 new, collectible animals waiting inside an extra lucky 'Mystery Box'
Feb 2nd. A new Asian Theme Decoŕ has been added to the game. There are 26 new decorations, 3 new seats, 3 new tables, 6 new windows, 2 new dishes, and new gifts. There are new Valentine's gifts which will open Feb 9th., I have added the new items to the pages. There is a Valentine's Fortune Crystal Ball next to the Gift Box, it cost 13 Café Cash you will receive a rare exclusive gift only available with this feature.
The Decoŕ table was getting too long, I removed the items no longer available and created a new table with the items removed this year for archival purposes. I can see there are some new stoves and counters however, being locked they are greyed out so I can't get the information on those.
Four new medals were added to the game on Jan 29th., more on the facts page. After finding more data on the medals I have restructured the table.
Jan 28th. A new 50's theme has been introduced, I have added the data I have so far. Two new dishes have been added, Bacon and Eggs and Ginger Plum Pork Chops.
There is a new feature for the game, Become a real chef! There are 5 steps to complete, the first 2 are already done when you log onto the game. The rest you need to click to complete, you decide if this is for you.
Notice the Refresh link on the top right, step 4 did not register for me, I tried to force it by selecting step 5 with no results. After clicking the refresh link it updated and displayed the image below.
Jan 21st. A new Sports theme with a bunch of new items and a couple of new dishes to go with it.
Jan. 15th. More new items to go with the Alien Theme, all are for Café Cash. There are some new Functional Items, I can not see them at level 39 and I am not sure if it is stoves, counters, or both
Jan. 13th. There are 5 new Medals to achieve now. Some I already qualified for all in the category, I need more data on these for the table.
I have added a new table to the menu page which has the dish, cook time and spoil time for those interested in just that data.
Jan 8th. The free VIP Dinner was extended for a few hours only. There is a new Alien Theme which has new decor items and two new dishes, Stardust Stew and Martian Brain Bake. Now that sounds appetizing!
Jan 6th a free VIP Dinner is available for one day only. You do not earn any points for preparing however you do earn 9,801 coins per dish, 99 servings at 99 coins each. It takes 18 hours to cook, I won't know until tomorrow about any points earned for serving. There may be another surprise waiting when it is served.
The new year is here, I was away during the holidays and much has changed with the game. There are new items in the store and the cookbook along with some new medals to earn. Visit the game during the first week of January and get free Café Cash. I am still collecting data on the new medals and will post a new table on them when I have enough to be useable.
Nov 20th. Update. There are 6 new dishes, a new gift, and more levels this week.
There are 2 new dishes, Atomic Buffalo Wings and Buttermilk Pancakes. There are some new decorations available, you will get Café Points for purchases made with Café Cash. The 13x15 Bountiful Cafe is now available for purchase 400,000 coins or 35 café cash.
The Vampire Staked Steak is no longer in the cookbook, I'm waiting to see what we get for Thanksgiving. Another new feature, The Chef's Special, you get a bonus amount of a dish served added to your gift box and the same amount is shared with friends via a posting which reads you cooked too many dishes and offer to share some. When you click on the link to collect the dish you receive a small amount of the dish which is added to your gift box.
Oct. 31st 3 new dishes on the menu, Crackling Peking Duck, Herbed Halibut, and Grand Tandori Chicken. I do not have all the data on them yet, what I do have is on the menu page.
Another Café Expansion is available, the 12x13 Plentiful Café for a mere 125,000 coins. On the downside they doubled the cost of the 10x12 Family Café from 25,000 to 50,000, I should have bought it yesterday, I had the coins just thought it could wait until I had enough to do some decorating.
The game is going to have a wider playing screen, and some new features. A Save Button, see next level unlocks and more. The save icon now works it is on the toolbar on the bottom right of the game screen.

There are also going to be some new recipes available which were not listed on the forum post. After checking the game the next morning (10/22) the only difference on the menu was a "NEW" sticker on some of the dishes which I have had available since starting the game a week ago.
Game Tips & Tricks I Have Found So Far
Firstly in the game guides on the forum it is stated to right click on your door to move it into inventory to close your Café, this does not work. When you right click on anything in a Flash screen you will get the Flash menu, it does not select an item. To close your café click on the customize icon (the chair) on the bottom menu, then click on the doors icon, now you can click on the door and drag it to the doors section, that will close the café.
Preparing food can go quickly if you can keep the cook from jumping from stove to stove and stirring pots. If the stove needs cleaning do that first, then before the avatar can move away click on the stove to choose something from the cookbook, be sure and move your mouse away from the stove each time to speed the process up. The first message you will see is gathering when the status bar is completed click on the stove to start step one, move away and wait, repeat this for each step and you can get the food started quickly. This is good for short time dishes like the Bacon Cheese Burgers and the chips and guacamole.
Gifts in your gift box. You get a certain amount of coins per gift for each customer seated in your café. You can maximize your profits from this if you wait until the place is fully seated. One trick I learned is to go back to Facebook then reload the game when the game loads all your seats will be filled, open your gifts and start with the highest paying ones and use as many as you can before the seats begin to empty. I repeat this until all the gifts are gone.
Food will overcook or spoil if left on the stove too long. The waste time is about the same as it takes to prepare and cook, you can find the spoil times on the Café World Menu page.
One odd thing I noticed is if I did something and left my mouse cursor idle the screen seemed to freeze, if I moved it around people would come and go faster, food would get served quicker, and I made more coins. When this happens it is best to log off Facebook and reload the game.
If you get a connection error while preparing a meal on the stove reload the game. The last dish you served to the counter got lost in the server transaction. When you reload it will be ready to serve again. If you don't do this you will end up with the last meal being spoiled.
I bought my 7th stove and it wouldn't work, it said click to prepare yet nothing happened. I reloaded the game, moved the stove, rotated it, and moved it back, it started workd correctly.
Game Notes
One day into the game and I am convinced with the proper mix of dishes available you can easily run a 24hr café. What is needed is a combination of the amount of servings available, employees to serve the customers, and the correct amount of seating to not overload the wait staff. I have done this by having one long term dish be ready and waiting until there is an empty spot on the counter, when another comes available load it up with quick to make dishes and plan ahead with the other meals to have more than enough to last through the evening.
