Love & Pies – Guide for beginners

Love & Pies is a delightful puzzle game filled with drama that follows the story of Amelia as she sets out to solve the mystery of her missing mother. Along the way, you’ll help her rebuild the family cafe, serve a vast range of mouth-watering food and drinks, and who knows, she might even find love.

In the game, you’ll combine various ingredients in the Kitchen to create delicious meals that will satisfy your hungry customers. These customers will reward you with coins that you can use to redecorate your cafe and progress the story. With each chapter, you’ll unlock new ingredients, meet intriguing friends and foes, and solve the many mysteries of the cafe.

How to progress in the game

Advancing in Love & Pies requires players to create food, drinks, and other goods and serve them to customers.

To get started, players must tap on generators to create the necessary items. After creation, basic food and drink items can be merged to create higher-level items. As each part of a customer’s order is prepared, it will highlight in dark green, and when the full order is ready, it will highlight in light green. Once the order is served, customers will reward players with coins, and new customers will take their place.

With enough coins, players can progress to the next story task and continue their journey in the game.

Completing tasks in Love & Pies is the key to progressing the story, unveiling more of the cafe’s mystery, and unlocking new characters and events in the game.

As players complete tasks, they will gain experience points and increase their player level, earning rewards such as item chests. These chests contain generator pieces, coins, diamonds, and other useful items that will aid in progressing through the game.

As players progress through the story and tasks, the cafe will gradually be repaired, cleaned up, and decorated. For larger upgrades, players will usually have three decoration choices to select from, and smaller upgrades will be unlocked as more characters are introduced and the story unfolds.

Special customers will occasionally appear, asking for unique items to unlock secret rewards and learn more about beloved characters.

To progress in Love & Pies, players must keep merging ingredients, serving customers, completing tasks, and decorating the cafe while uncovering the mysteries that lie within.

What are all the different elements on the Kitchen board?

In Love & Pies, there are various types of items that players will come across on the Kitchen board. Here’s a breakdown of each one:

Generators: These are the source of all items in the game. Players start with a grocery bag and a drinks tray, but can unlock and upgrade many more generators. Tapping on a generator will create new items.

Items: These are the food, drinks, and other goods that players can create in the game. Basic versions of these items come from generators, but players will need to merge them to create better versions of the items that customers want.

Covered Tiles: In the early stages of the game, a significant portion of the board will be covered up. To uncover these tiles, players must make a merge next to the covered tile.

Locked Tiles: These tiles show items, but players cannot move them as they are stuck in place. To unlock these tiles, players must merge the stuck item with another identical item.

Bubbles: Sometimes, a generator will create a bubble containing an item. Players must spend gems to unlock the bubble and obtain the item inside. If players choose not to unlock the bubble, it will eventually turn into a coin.

How do I make more space on my Kitchen board?

The Kitchen is a busy place, and space can be hard to come by! There are several ways to free up space when you need it.

  • You can store any item in your STORAGE if it is not already full. Your storage can be found by tapping the refrigerator icon in the bottom-left corner of the screen. To store an item, simply DRAG it from the board to the storage icon. To get an item back again, open your storage, and tap on any item within to put it back on the board. You can also EXPAND your storage by unlocking new slots with diamonds.

  • You can also delete or sell items to free up space on your board. Often it can be worth selling simpler items (like Bags of Flour) because they’re so easy to get again later.

To delete an item, TAP an item on the board, then look at the INFO PANEL at the bottom of the screen. Tap the red TRASH CAN button to delete the item.

Some higher-level items can even be sold for coins. TAP an item on the board, then look at the INFO PANEL at the bottom of the screen. Tap the blue “$” button to sell the item.

Note that some items cannot be currently sold or deleted. This is the case for generators and generators pieces.

Did you delete or sell an item by mistake? Don’t worry! As soon as you delete an item, look at the INFO PANEL. You should see a red “UNDO” button. Tap this, and the item will be restored!

Where can I get more Diamonds?

Diamonds allow you to do a lot of things in Love & Pies. You can either purchase more diamonds from the Shop, or you can earn them from reward chests.

Reward chests are earned either through LEVELLING UP, or through FINISHING A STORY DAY.

Where can I get more info about the items I’m making?

Most items in Love & Pies are part of larger ITEM PATHS. For example, Bags of Flour become Mixing Bowls, which become Cookies, and so on. This chain of items is what we call an item path.

To learn more about an item path, you can:

  1. Tap on the item or generator you want to learn more about. Then tap on the blue “i” button in the INFO PANEL. The info panel is at the bottom of the screen, in between the Storage and Back to Cafe buttons.
  2. Tap on any of the items in a customer’s order

How do Generators work?

Generators are a key resource in Love & Pies, providing many essential items. These generators can be crafted by merging specific items together, such as combining Shopping Lists and Empty Bags to create a Grocery Bag generator.

Once a generator is created, tapping on it will produce specific items, such as Bags of Flour and Apples from the Grocery Bag generator (although Apples are more difficult to obtain). These items can then be combined to create various food items.

It’s important to remember that generators have limited resources and will eventually run out of items if tapped repeatedly. To refill a generator, players can either wait for it to refill over time or spend diamonds to refill it instantly.

To refill a generator using diamonds, simply refer to the INFO PANEL located at the bottom of the screen. If a generator is selected, a green button labeled “Skip” will appear. If enough diamonds are available, pressing this button will refill the generator.

How can I upgrade my Generators?

Like item paths, generators themselves can also evolve! This happens slowly as you progress through the game.

To upgrade a generator, you need to find items of the GENERATOR PATH. You can find these items in reward chests that you receive from LEVELLING UP and FINISHING A STORY DAY. Merge these items together to make new and upgraded generators.

Upgrading a generator makes it more powerful, increasing its chances of creating better items for you, which in turn makes it faster to serve your customers!

To find out more about a generator’s item path, tap on the item or generator you want to learn more about. Then tap on the blue “i” button in the INFO PANEL. The info panel is at the bottom of the screen, in between the Storage and Back to Cafe buttons.

Why don’t I have many customers to serve?

If you find yourself serving a large number of customers all at once, you may notice a decrease in the number of new customers arriving at your cafe and placing orders. This is because new customers need time to arrive and place their orders.

However, there is no need to worry as more customers will arrive at your cafe later in the day, each with their own unique orders. Some customers will arrive quickly, while others may take longer to appear.

It’s also important to note that the number of customers that appear at one time is dependent on your PLAYER LEVEL. Once you reach level 6 or higher and complete Day 4 of the story, you should have up to six customers with different orders.

How do Bubbles work?

Sometimes, when you are merging items together, a Bubble will be created. Inside the bubble is an item that will be a copy of the last item you just made.

You need to spend diamonds on a bubble to get the item inside. To do this: tap on the bubble, and then look at the INFO PANEL at the bottom of the screen. There you will see a green “Unlock” button. If you have enough diamonds, tap this button to receive the item.

If you don’t do this, the bubble will eventually disappear on its own — but it will still give you a free coin that you can use to progress the story.

How do I create Bread items?

In order to make Bread, you have to first unlock the Oven generator.

You should be able to create your first Basic Oven (level 5) by playing the story and by opening item chests.

The Basic Oven will create Basic Trays, that can be combined until you will obtain a Bread Basket (level 5).

The Bread Basket is a consumable generator that will create Slices of Bread and Cheese Sandwiches. These can be further combined to create sandwiches and other higher level delicious food for your customers.

A consumable generator has a certain number of items in it. When they’ve all been created, the generator will vanish. You will need to create a new one to continue making bread and sandwiches.

Where did my Cat Basket go?

In Love & Pies, there are special events called STORY PATHS. In a story path, one particular character will ask for a special item.

Early on, for example, Joe needs your help finding Marshmallow the cat! You will quickly create a Cat Basket generator that helps you create Cats.

Once you complete a story path, all of the items and generators related to it will disappear and be replaced with diamonds and coins as a reward for reaching the end of the item path.

This is because only one special customer will ever ask for these items — and that item is now in your cafe!

I want to change my Cafe Decorations

Want to change a decoration choice in your cafe? No problem!

Just TAP AND HOLD on any item in your cafe. You should see a loading progress bar — the Choose Cafe Improvement menu will then open and you can select any of the available three options.

Tap the confirm button, or just tap on another cafe area to change more decorations at once!

Love & Pies free energy

Love & Pies is a mobile game where players have to manage a bakery and make delicious pies. As with many mobile games, there is a currency in the game called “energy” that is required to perform certain actions, such as baking pies or upgrading equipment.

In Love & Pies, players can obtain free energy by completing certain tasks or achievements within the game, such as logging in daily, completing quests, or watching advertisements. Additionally, players can purchase energy with real money through in-app purchases.

If you are having trouble obtaining energy in the game, try completing as many tasks and achievements as possible, and consider purchasing energy if necessary. However, it is important to remember to always manage your in-game purchases responsibly and within your budget.
