About the Game

Zipp's Café is a bite-sized cafe management sim with a noir-like story and cozy atmosphere.

Can you really change? Can you escape your past? Can you find love? Can you handle betrayal? But most importantly... can you make the best coffee in all the Wilderness?



  • Zipp's Café is a bittersweet little story of what we have to sacrifice to make a real difference in our lives while meeting extraordinary characters and preparing unusual recipes at the boiling edge of the cities of insects and animals.

  • Meet 5 strange characters and discover what connects them. Talk to them, and - whether you like it or not - get caught up in their lives. Immerse yourself into 3 minigames with completely different moods and mechanics. Brew the most special coffees or teas, prepare unique meals, and... wash the dishes... (Because someone has to do the dishes too, you know.)

  • Play in color, or in glorious NOIR mode!
