Cozy Cafe Sim Tailside Launches Into Early Access Today!

Updated: 6 days ago

Our cozy crew will undoubtedly be excited for today's release, as Tailside: Cozy Cafe Sim is finally gracing the gaming world with its presence. While this is just its Early Access launch, there's still much to look forward to, as when we played the demo a few months ago, it was definitely worthy of the love it's already been receiving.


If you're a fan of the pixel aesthetic blended beautifully with cozy cafe management, then I'd suggest giving this indie gem a moment of your attention.



In this relaxing simulation game, you’ll customize your cafe and your coffee as you decorate the coffee bar of your dreams and serve friendly customers. Across laidback levels, you’ll progress and play at your own pace without pressure or timers, brewing beans and a variety of coffee types to fulfil orders. With each day and level completed, you’ll work towards unlocking new coffee-making skills, animal visitors, villagers, and heartwarming stories published in a daily newspaper.

Make your cafe your own and use decor to turn it into a warm and welcoming place for your customers. Choose from hundreds of items to customize your hangout spot with signs, seats, color options, plants, tiles, counters, and more, to design a cafe that really shows off your personality!

Tailside also lets the customization go further by supporting mods and community characters. Got a fuzzy friend of your own you’d like to see in the game? Want to turn yourself or your pet into an in-game character? Import custom characters and turn them into visitors for your cafe.


Curious what's in store for Tailside's future? Take a look at their upcoming road map:

TLDR aka Game Features:


  • 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 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 too for even more personalization!
