The day we've been waiting for (and we know you've been waiting too 😊) has arrived! We are incredibly proud to announce that...
Espresso Tycoon is coming to Steam on the 7th of June!
We have prepared 10 different locations for you and approximately 1,000 decorative elements. You'll find lots of ingredients and toppings to create delicious coffees, as well as a unique tool to draw your own Latte Art... and many, many more features!
We put a lot of heart, energy, and work into this project. We are tremendously excited that we will soon be able to share it with the whole world!
Of course, we wouldn't be here without you – our players. Thank you for your support, trust, and understanding. We are glad that you liked our demo so much, and also our Prologue (by the way, it was you who chose the location for the Prologue 😊).
We hope you will love the full version of Espresso Tycoon as much as we do!
So... are we all set for the 7th of June? 😉
NEW LOCATION in Espresso Tycoon - Los Angeles
Dear Coffee Lovers,
Introducing a New Location: Los Angeles!
The sun, the beach... a dream place to run a cafe, right? Many people dream of visiting Los Angeles at least once in their lives. And now, you can run your own cafe there!
As always, we've put a lot of effort into preparing the cafe environment. And of course, since it's Los Angeles, palm trees are a must!
BEFORE AFTER
The hot weather can be challenging for customers, so it's important to serve them something refreshing. In this mission, you'll have access to several ingredients in the Coffee Editor, including ice cubes, ice cream, and cold brew.
One of the tasks will be to invest in air conditioning. This is crucial to ensure customers can cool down in the cafe.
The Los Angeles mission is the second-to-last in Espresso Tycoon, and customer demands are increasing. To complete the mission, you'll need to achieve a 5 Golden Beans rating, which represents the highest level of coffee shop development. This requires taking care of ratings, style points, and staff training.
The Los Angeles coffee shop is one of the largest in Espresso Tycoon, allowing you to incorporate a wide variety of decorative elements. It can accommodate a large number of customers as well.
Are you ready to run a cafe on a sunny beach in Los Angeles?

NEW LOCATION in Espresso Tycoon - Sydney
Dear Coffee Lovers,
It's time to introduce another location... SYDNEY!
It may not be new to some, after all, it is the location from our Prologue!
Moreover, it was you who decided to place the café there for our Prologue (Do you remember the voting? Sydney got the most votes ːsteamhappyː).
But, of course, we didn't stop working on this map then ːsteamhappyː
Preparing such a location is not easy. We don’t have... sky here! So it takes a lot of work (and time) to adjust the proper lighting.
You can see the progress here:
BEFORE
AFTER
We're in the ocean. So we need to have some sea (or rather ocean) creatures too! It's worth finding all of them because they have interesting stories. Your customers will admire sharks, jellyfish, and octopus, but also sunken ships...
Your job in Sydney, in addition to running the café, is to take care of protecting the ocean and sea creatures. That's why one of your mission goals is to put up awareness billboards to remind your customers about that.
The underwater location also required minor changes in terms of supplies delivery. We had to replace drones with... small submarines ːsteamhappyː
In this mission, you will also learn how to use loans. They can help you grow your café faster, but keep in mind that you will also have to pay interest to the bank.
What do you think, will you be able to run a successful underwater café and protect sea creatures?
Become one of the first astronauts to settle down on the Red Planet. Make no mistake, though. It’s not an easy task! Conditions on Mars are unforgiving and you will need to think on your feet in order to survive!
The launch is at 6:00 PM CEST!
Will we see you on Mars? 🙂 P.S. Don't forget to take your coffee ːsteamhappyː
NEW LOCATION in Espresso Tycoon - Mexico City
Dear Coffee Lovers,
It's time to introduce another location... MEXICO CITY!
Imagine going on your dream vacation right now, to a five-star hotel.... there must be a place with good coffee, right? That's why the hotel is the next place where you will run your coffee shop!
As always, we had to start somewhere. We had to set up the bar in the right place, prepare the whole area for customers, and make room for decorations.
We had to work hard to make our hotel deserving of 5 stars.
But more than that, in this mission, in Mexico City, our hotel will not only be a cafe but also... an art gallery! How about having a Mona Lisa or Scream in your inventory?
This mission also introduces us to a new social group - Kids. They are quite demanding customers because they can't buy anything that contains caffeine. So you have to work hard to create a recipe suitable for them. Fortunately, we have a lot of ice cream in our ingredients... 😊
From now on, it will also be possible to hire a Handyman to repair tables, chairs, or coffee machines for us.
The main goal of this mission will be to acquire more artwork for the collection. It won't be easy - you need to have a lot of money to buy such precious items first.
Can you manage to make this place a real art gallery and run a thriving cafe at the same time?

NEW LOCATION in Espresso Tycoon - London
Dear Coffee Lovers,
It's time to introduce another location... LONDON!
(Or as it was famously said in a certain TV show - "It's London, Baby!" ːsteamhappyː)
Actually, this is not a completely new location - many of you may already know it quite well. It was featured in our first demo, and it's also where our Prologue's tutorial takes place. As you can see, it's an important location for us, and we have a lot of sentimental attachment to it.
Just showing old materials brings a tear to our eye because that's where our work on Espresso Tycoon began! It's a piece of history!
But that doesn't mean that those who played our first demo or prologue will already know this location perfectly. We've prepared a lot of new features!
One big change is... allowing the pet's presence in the coffee shop! You can decide whether your customers can bring their pets to your cafe. If so, you can also buy water bowls for these furry friends.
In this mission, you can also upgrade your coffee shop by buying a bathroom. Don't forget to order some cleaning supplies!
You'll also learn how to promote your cafe using the marketing feature. You can launch marketing campaigns by choosing different media, and targets, and deciding how long you want to advertise.
Customers who come to you through advertising will be highlighted - so you'll immediately see how effective your marketing is.
All of these are tools that will help you develop your coffee business.
But be careful...! It turns out that there are thieves lurking in the area. They can steal valuable items from your cafe.
Don't worry, you can protect yourself from this by hiring security. It will cost you a little, but what wouldn't you do for safety, right?
As you can see, we're preparing a completely new version of our London location for you.
What do you think about this? Are there any players here who played our first demo?

NEW LOCATION in Espresso Tycoon - Siberia, Train
Dear Coffee Lovers,
We're introducing our Next Location...
Train - Siberia!
Have you ever traveled for a very long time by train? Imagine spending so many hours without coffee... Yes, we know, it's hard to imagine. That's why we thought a coffee shop on the train can be a great idea! There may be little competition, but we might get demanding customers. That's a challenge!
We started by building a train, and the cafe is located in one of the train cars - that's our base. But we also had to take care of the chassis, tracks, and other things.
And of course, the locomotive must not be missing.
Why did we choose Siberia? Because it is the geographic region that we associate with very long train journeys (you know, the Trans-Siberian Railway). But you will probably notice that the atmosphere from the Orient Express can also be found here, mainly in the decorative elements.
We also solved the problem of supplying resources to our train. It's quite a relief that, as a rule, our supplies are delivered by drones ːsteamhappyː
And this is crucial because, without coal, our train will not go any further.
Running a cafe on the train is our fifth mission, and we are introducing some new features to it.
Among them is Research, which will allow you to unlock new ingredients and decoration items (after setting the right budget and category).
We are also explaining more elements related to the Coffee Editor. One very important one is Temporal Trends. As you probably already know, each social group in our game has its own preferences. If we manage to meet all the requirements, including Temporal Trends, not only will we be sure that our customers will love a particular recipe, but they will also tip us!
But it's important to note that Temporal Trends, as the name suggests, are temporal, so they will change. You need to keep track of them to stay up to date.
BTW, have you ever dreamed of having a train named after yourself? Now you can have it ːsteamhappyː
Do you like our cafe on the train? Let us know what you think!

NEW LOCATION in Espresso Tycoon - Paris
Bonjour Coffee Lovers!
It's time to present our next location in Espresso Tycoon...
PARIS!
We are thrilled to announce the opening of a new location for our coffee shop in the heart of Paris! Our team has been working tirelessly to bring the best coffee experience to our customers, and we are excited to share our newest addition with you.
Some of you probably expected the French café to be one of our next locations. We proposed it to you in the voting for the location of our Prologue (the underwater café in Sydney won then, but Paris also got a lot of votes).
So we got down to work!
We knew that we would have to pay a lot of attention to the architecture of the entire neighborhood.
The new location is situated on a charming Parisian street. The buildings represent a beautiful architectural style, with large windows that let in plenty of natural light. The interior has been designed to create a cozy atmosphere, with comfortable seating and a warm color scheme that will make you feel right at home.
Because these are the things that come to our minds when we think about the French café:
great atmosphere
a lot of interesting people
unique design
beautiful buildings
We also took care of the details; you will find a lot of decorative elements that will be associated with the French style. You can also see the famous tower... ːsteamhappyː
In this mission, we're introducing... snacks (it's a must-have in a French café, right?). Those who have already played our demo or Prologue will surely be pleased with the new feature - that is, the automatic refilling of snacks. Quite a few players have been asking for it, so we couldn't be indifferent to it ːsteamhappyː
This mission will also teach you how to influence the speed of baristas with the right coffee machine.
As you know, running a successful coffee shop takes hard work and dedication, and we are grateful for your support in making our business a success. We hope that you will visit our new location soon and enjoy the coffee and atmosphere that we have created.
Thank you for being a part of the Espresso Tycoon community, and we look forward to serving you in Paris!
In Espresso Tycoon's third mission, you're running a coffee shop in the subway station. What comes to your mind when you think about such a business? Rush, speed, a lot of people... - that's right!
This is the location where you'll meet the next social group - the Businessmen. No wonder. They often use the subway to move from one meeting to another. They also need lots of coffee. But, since they are short on time, they prefer to take coffee to go. A coffee shop at a subway station is a must-have for them!
In this mission, we're introducing some new features - you'll learn how to buy and use new coffee machines.
And since you'll have a milk frother, you'll also learn how to add Latte Art!
As usual, we take care of the details. So you may notice, among other things, a map of Sao Paulo - in case tourists want to check which metro station they got off at ːsteamhappyː
What do you think? Will you manage to deal with customers at the subway station?
Sao Paulo is our third mission location - but it will also be available in the sandbox mode (if you unlock it first).
However, if you join our Discord channel, on the release day, you will get a cheat code that unlocks all of the locations from the start of the game! Join now so you don't miss it!
