About/Overview (Pick one or the other):

Sit back, relax, and fulfill your cafe management dreams in Tailside. Customize your cafe, bedroom, and terrace with a range of decor including the comfiest chairs, succulents, and plushies before opening the doors to take orders from creatures from across the forest!

Play without pressure as you roast and grind beans, create beautiful latte art and level up your coffee-making skills. Progress is laidback and with every in-game day, you’ll get closer to unlocking new brewing abilities and additional, decorative items with hundreds of signs, seats, and much more to eventually choose from.

Along the way, you’ll also meet more villagers and get to know a little more about the adorable animal customers who stop by each day. Follow their stories as the daily newspaper brings you closer to your paw pals.

Tailside even lets you add your own furry faces! With mod support, you can import custom characters and turn them into cafe visitors, bringing yourself and your real-life furry friends into the game.

These features are just the start of the Tailside journey as, on the Steam page, Coffee Beans Dev has already shared a roadmap of updates as the game progresses to 1.0 in 2027. Planned features include a full greenhouse system, a flower shop to grow and sell plants, and the ability to visit other players' cafes!

Key Features of Tailside

Progress Without Pressure: This is a wholesome sim, not a tycoon title and the gameplay is designed to be stress-free. Those who prefer to play without levels and objectives can also enjoy the Sandbox mode, which is more decor-focused.

That’s That Me Espresso: Brew coffees made with different flavors, and strengths, create latte art, and unlock even more coffee varieties as you progress through levels!

Fully Customizable: Design multiple areas in your cafe, with a bedroom and a terrace, as you choose from hundreds of decor items. Import custom characters for even more personalization!
