Welcome to Boba Cafe Simulator. You and your friends have pooled your savings, signed the lease, and now you’re staring down a cozy little boba shop with big dreams and a very empty tip jar.
Boba Cafe Simulator is a strategic management adventure where every cup you pour and every neighbour you chat with builds toward something bigger. Between crafting drinks, juggling inventory, and upgrading your shop, there’s always something on your plate. But make sure at the end of the day to step out, socialise with the neighbours, and build genuine relationships — that’s how you unlock exclusive recipes, rare furniture blueprints, and doors that money alone can’t open.
In this Boba Cafe Simulator, we’ll go through how to increase affection with the NPCs in the world, what their favourite drinks are and what rewards you can expect.
How To Increase NPC Affection
Fifteen NPCs roam the world, each with their own personality, their own story, and — most importantly — their own drink order. Befriend them by handing over a drink every single day to grow their affection.
- Giving a non-favourite drink = +1 Affection
- Giving a favourite drink = +2 Affection
- Giving their specific favourite drink = +3 Affection
Below is the full breakdown of every known NPC favourite drink, including the exact specs you need to hit that perfect +3 bonus.
